🏕️ Unlock the Secrets of Tent Camping: 6 Insider Tips | Campsite Classes

[@eileenmcloughlin4778]

Most IMPORTANT from a long time tent camping expert. Place a tarp, slightly smaller than the tent underneath your tent. Make sure none of the edges of the tarp protrude past the tent bottom or if it rains the underside of the tent will get wet. Itwill keep the tent dry and less damp plus protect the bottom of your tent a d keep it cleaner.

@@photic9855why you care so much?

[@BH-ro4ly]

@@SgtBacalhau Because when you're backpack camping/hiking you generally want to save as much weight as possible. Instead of a lightweight tarp you can buy a tent footprint which does the same thing but is generally lighter. If you're really trying to save weight you dont really need one at all you just need to pitch your tent carefully.

#1, when choosing where to pitch your tent, LOOK UP! Look for large broken or leaning branches or trees that my fall on you! Please use situational awareness! 🌳🌲🍀🐦

[@TheRealAlanStephens]

Tent stakes should go in perpendicular, so they are not pulled out, not parallel with the angle of force they are meant to oppose.

Oh we learned a big lesson this weekend, went tent camping and it rained and was windy and my son's half assed the top cover and during the night it blew off and we got rained on 😂 lessons learned..do thing right

[@dinkvjr]

Oh damn. Lol sorry

[@barbshubert9667]

I've found when I've laid out my footprint, lay down on it and it will let me know how level my spot is before I set up my tent.

[@goodgrief888]

Yeah, I made that mistake. I swept away rocks, set up my campsite, and a few hours later went to bed. I spent a sleepless night being poked by a couple of sharp little rocks that I didn’t spot during initial set up. It was too late then as it was dark and I was tired. Never again.

[@bdog0720]

👍🏼Nice! This also helps. A rake to clear the area for the tent. Cardboard to protect the tent bottom. Broom and dust pan to clean tent before packing back up. Old floor mats at the tent entrance.

[@DrifterVans]

That hammer is a great idea! Small and convenient.

[@bewarethesasquatch6248]

Would you share the info on that plastic woven rug please?

[@vazixLT]

First tip is the most obvious thing already, great content

[@unclebillscamping]

Great video. I would recommend keeping a 3lb rubber mallet in the back of your vehicle or inside the tent bag. It will make easy work of any tent stake you want to use. That’s a pretty sweet entry Matt your using. Got a link?

[@bravomichelle1816]

First of all where are you camping!! 😮 it’s beautiful

[@jennifertran24]

Idk where is is but I just went this past month to Lake Hemet in Cali and it looked just like this spot he’s at.

[@rushrever]

I go camping twice a month usually for the past decade and something I wish I knew sooner was to use 9 inch to 12 inch nails they are heavier but they are far superior to tent stakes especially went backpacking because on my last backpacking trip half of my tent stakes got bent because the ground was really Rocky so I ended up having to make my own out of wood. And also if anything on your tent rips especially the straps or anything like that in general rips you can use dental floss to fix it trust me it sounds weird but it works and it will save you tons of money. And also another tip is do not set your tent up on the low part of a hill if possible you want to set your turn up on as high of land as you can get avoid anything that looks like water travels through it often you know like streams or dried up stream beds and if you go camping in the rainy season or where it's likely to rain hard make sure to have a knife on you in case you have to cut yourself out of a tent because it has happened to me

[@TimothySmith-yh4fu]

Do not forget drainage. Avoid low spots.

[@kadeeeartiaga]

Rocks are easier to use and find and save weight. Forget the hammer.

[@April_2007]

Check the weather forecast we thought it was going to rain on my scout camp so we camped under trees in a large group for better protection, nothing dried and a tree branch came down in the strong winds blocking our only way into the camp circle, yes our tents were that close together I didn’t say we were good scouts. Took two hours to move that hefty branch 😂😅 Edit: and if you were like me and got stalked a hair bobble/tie works as an improvised lock

[@dinkvjr]

Stalked?? I'd like to hear that story? If you think it's going to rain Never go under trees bc what happened to you can happen on your tent and kill you or injure you badly. You'd think to go under trees but nope that's dangerous

[@timo9355]

Might want to check the tent peg angle there. That angle for a tent 'might' be ok but definitely wrong for a tent fly or awning...

[@zohahaus7673]

As an England we don’t bring hammers we camp in the beach on shells and rocks but how is the tents are not flat and still siting?

[@JackBlack444]

Fire at the back of the tent, lol, that makes it easier for the Bear to Come inside, lol.😂😂

[@Johnny7737-t1m]

Push in the tent pegs the other way so they are holding in the ground better against wind

[@smellybearc7411]

Tent stakes should not be 45 degrees towards the tent but 45 degrees away from the tent, if that makes sense. The tent is a bit too close to the fire. You only need a regular Apple Watch for camping at a campground. Rocks are sufficient to hammer in tent stakes, but a hammer makes it more comfortable. And, everyone wants a flat campsite, but that’s never the case. When it’s not flat, try to orient your tent so that when you lay down, your head is higher than your feet.

[@dinkvjr]

Isn't that the truth, when have you ever had a flat area for a tent?? Hmmm Never! 😂

Great video brother but plz do care dog because dogs are very loyal , kind heart and honest

[@hildurmildur]

Don't forget to consider the angle of the sun if the weather is clear and warm. The sun beating down on your tent will leave it sauna hot inside, and if you're far north the sun may rise very early in the summer, meaning you won't get much sleep...

[@MicahTheSaunaGuy]

[@nigeq]

The angle of your stakes is all wrong! They should be angled away from your tent not towards it.

[@shaybelle8495]

I’m sure this is a silly question, but how do you keep animals from tearing up the tent while you sleep?

[@TheOminousVoidWispers]

😂 never heard that in my life. Animals avoid peopl for the most part. If you are in an area with dangerous animals such as moose or black bear you should have bear spray or a bang stick. Nothing you can really do but pee around the camp site. It helps.

[@shaybelle8495]

@@TheOminousVoidWispers Wow. That’s very interesting and good to know. I’m not a camper, but I have been wanting to go hiking lately but have been too afraid of getting attacked by a wild animal. Thank you for your insight!

[@TheOminousVoidWispers]

@@shaybelle8495 mountain lions, act big and scary holed your shirt or jacket over your head to appear bigger and do not turn your back on it, bears normally run away, but black are more likely to eat humans then brown. Back away slowly, if it follows be ready to fight, moose climb a tree, brown bear get low talk soft and back away. Look for bear bells to wear or keep talking in areas with predators. We handed off the dangerous ones the ones that fear humans survived so it's not incredibly dangerous. Lastly don't prep eat or store food in your camp. I'll answer any other questions the best I can! I love camping and using primitive survival skills!

[@shaybelle8495]

@@TheOminousVoidWispers I screenshotted this so that I will remember! Thank you for all of the useful information! I wanted to give it a go during the daytime first. Perhaps I shouldn’t bring my dog? She loves going on nature walks with me, but she isn’t very big, so I suspect that animals would be tempted to attack her. What do you think?

[@TheOminousVoidWispers]

@@shaybelle8495 most animals avoid dogs. Too much like wolves. Moose are triggered by dogs though and having a dog with you greatly increases the chance of an attack. Other than that camping is rather safe. Low spots on the ground get colder at night and you want to set up so your head is uphill if there us any sloap. Give it a test run and remeber if you hear animals moving at night don't freak out lots of animals prefer to move at night and are just doing their thing. Most importantly leave only footprints and have fun!
