- Are you planning a tent camping trip but feeling overwhelmed by all the preparation and unknowns? Look no further. In this video, we'll share 6 insider tips to help you unlock the secrets of tent camping. These tips are based on years of experience and will help you make the most of your outdoor adventure. So grab your tent and let's get started:
1. Find a flat area, free of tripping hazards or sharp objects to set up your tent: When choosing a spot to set up your tent, make sure the ground is flat and free of any sharp objects or tripping hazards. This will ensure that your tent is stable and safe to sleep in.
2. Pack a small hammer to make installing tent stakes easier: Tent stakes are essential for keeping your tent in place, but they can be difficult to install without the right tools. Pack a small hammer or mallet to make the process easier and faster.
3. Keep the inside organized for maximum space and comfort: A cluttered tent can make it difficult to move around and can also be uncomfortable to sleep in. Keep your gear organized and stored in designated areas to maximize space and comfort. Use storage pockets or hanging organizers to keep your gear off the ground and within easy reach.
4. Hang gear for easy access at night: Hanging your gear from the ceiling of your tent can be a great way to keep it organized and within easy reach at night. Use carabiners or hooks to hang your backpack, clothes, and other gear from the tent's ceiling. This will also help keep your gear off the ground and away from any moisture or dirt.
5. Use a plastic woven outdoor rug to keep the inside clean: A plastic woven outdoor rug can be a great addition to your tent setup. It will help keep the inside of your tent clean and dry, and also provide a comfortable surface to walk on. You can also use the rug as a designated area for your shoes or other gear.
6. Position the door away from the campfire to avoid smoke: If you plan on having a campfire, make sure to position your tent's door away from the fire. This will help prevent smoke from entering your tent and also reduce the risk of any sparks or embers landing on your tent.
By following these tips, you can ensure a comfortable and safe tent camping experience.

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?
@@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.

Facts
Tent stakes should go in perpendicular, so they are not pulled out, not parallel with the angle of force they are meant to oppose.
This.
Can someone explain?
@@xWanderlustt really lol he just did

@photic9855 this CAR camping reply doesn't work here lol
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.
Isn't that the truth, when have you ever had a flat area for a tent?? Hmmm
Never! 😂
Dude's got a poodle, what do you expect?
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
Oh damn. Lol sorry
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
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
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.
Rocks are easier to use and find and save weight. Forget the hammer.

Rock good
Can you make tips for beginners on finding a nice place to camp as a starting point for camping in general? It would be much appreciated, ty
Would you share the info on that plastic woven rug please?
Do not forget drainage. Avoid low spots.
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...

@@photic9855 The wind doesn't give two shts what type of camping you think you're doing.
That hammer is a great idea! Small and convenient.
Not taking advice from this crunchy boi is my best advice...

Peasent

@@photic9855 lmao did the channel paid you to type this reply to everyone?
rock? use your heel.
Great information!
Great tips especially the one about the camp fire.
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?
#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! 🌳🌲🍀🐦
So, I have a "favorite" camp site much like the one you have there....... long story short, when the storms rolled in, they rocketed right up the incline, and poof!!!!!!! Our tent became a parachute in a very fast instance
Great video and very true. Thanks for sharing pups with papi . I always had a special place for my pup but she liked to sleep inside the sleeping bag when it was cold. My four legged heater 😊🥰
Got a link for that rug??
Hon, I'm gonna follow you just for your poodle. ❤
I agree with everything except for the campfire. If you have your campfire, we are Front Door is animals won’t want to come in there and you can watch it and keep an eye on it and react faster if it gets out of hand.
I would have and erect an electric fence around the tent.
The angle of your stakes is all wrong! They should be angled away from your tent not towards it.
Ohh ok 👌❤wow
Wow thanks stating the obvious,still you're awesome 👍😎🤙
Oh yeah and a poodle is a real dog!!!! Bear bate!!!!
Audience/ click/ likes bait too!😊😊😊
Poodles are one of the smartest dog breeds. They don't shed. They don't bark excessively.
Or alligator bait depending on where you are camping.
Great video brother but plz do care dog because dogs are very loyal , kind heart and honest
Lol have your boyfriend drive your tent spikes as you hold his dog! 😂
The bad hair days dog
Got to be the dog gone CUtEST DOG ever
💖💓💗💞💕💘..sending
L💝VE from LAS Vegas.
What sleeping pads are those? 👀
It's a "Camp Bed 3.5" from REI
Tent pegs need to go at an angle away from the tent or they just don't work well I go for about 45° generally
Where are you camping? I’ve been an avid camper and Canoeist for as long as I can remember and I’ve never camped on such a flat and clear spot in my life. I would shit my self if I ever paddled up on a site that was that clear and flat. 😂
Can you please share the camping site location as well. Looking for some lake/water front camping sites
That is what GOOGLE is for. 🤔😅
This looks like a spot I camp at often in NC
If he does, you won't be able to get within 10 miles of the site because of all the other people trying to get there.
hi can you tell me the tent you have? (the one in this vid
Maximise space with huge tent
Can u tell me how much person can it fit there?
Hello.....holiday express...they have cable!
This guy thinks he’s a pro 😂
Good advice dude, but I defo go with Rock over Hammer... Take NO notice of the Poodle Haters, big dog, small dog, had both & several, all similar, but different, but always ya best mate...!👍💯✔️ & I've got a Girls Dog too...!!!😄🤣💕👊...
Most important thing is go camping in the woods, not in a campground
Thats glamping!!!
Pro tip, don't pack a small hammer. Do you see how many times he had to hit that to get it in the ground.. pack a normal sized hammer.
Lowkey that last one helped me a lot😭 my stupid ass have the tint open n the fire smoke b all in it
🎉🎉🎉
Your holding your dog dude
man, your vids are so underrated.
Y'all are real cute
what tent the orange one?
Hello Micah,
You bring your own tent.
Remember to set your tent in the afternoon sun. If u don’t u will wake up in a sauna at 6am.
1) flat level area 2) pack a hammer 3) try to stay organized inside 4) hang gear 5) use a rug 6) position door of tent away from fire
great tips
I’m sure this is a silly question, but how do you keep animals from tearing up the tent while you sleep?
😂 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.
@@businessraptor127 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!
@@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!
@@businessraptor127 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?
@@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!
🙏👍❤️💘
Look for ants when you find that level area for your tent (Yeah, it happened ONCE).
Fire.. tent.. way to close.. forget smoke .. how about hot ash melting the tent...
No thanks.
What about the tent stakes..
What tent is this?
Hi Ito, I am not sure the exact make or model of this particular tent...
Bro said “taught”😂
Its cost its suitable for adults 6 members
Hammer 😂😂 why when find a stone nearby
Final step, buy a truck bed camping tent.
I’m just gonna crawl into the tent and put my shoes in a plastic bag
Here's an extra tip, BRING AIR BED. never do I sleep on the hard uncomfortable ground anymore 🤦🏿♂️
What size is your tent?
So common sense. Lol
Don't put your stakes in like that lmao
🏕️🏕️🏕️🏕️
it is so hard to keep this guy serious with that rodent in his hands. XD
Hammer? Use your damn foot
setting up the tent wrong? u can't even make it right
We're is that location

Fucking barking dogs at campsites can lead to a bad experience....
Get real pegs, those wire things are useless
Who knew gay folk camped
These suck, my guy
And get a real dog
Needs a dog upgrade. That made me extremely uncomfortable watching dude holding a poodle...
Psalms 91
If only we had nice solid objects laying around all over the place to hammer in our stakes
