Tip | Benefit |
---|---|
Ventilate the Tent | Proper ventilation helps prevent condensation and moisture buildup inside the tent. |
Use a Ground Cloth | Place a ground cloth beneath the tent to protect it from sharp objects and moisture rising from the ground. |
Inspect Gear Regularly | Check your tent and gear for any damage or leaks before each trip. |
Mistake | Consequence |
