1

Before setting up your tent, place a tarp on the ground. This creates a barrier between the tent floor and the ground, reducing moisture and protecting your tent from sharp objects.

2

Thread your tent lines through brightly colored pool noodles. This makes them more visible and safer to avoid tripping, even at night. Consider adding glow sticks for better visibility.

3

Set up a basket outside your tent to store your shoes. Removing your shoes before entering the tent helps keep it clean.

4

Always keep your tent door closed to prevent bugs like flies and mosquitoes from entering.

5

Keep your tent's windows open for better ventilation, even when it's cold outside. This helps prevent condensation buildup and keeps you comfortable.

6

Place a tarp inside the tent to add an extra layer between you and the ground. This also makes cleanup easier.

7

Improve the comfort of your tent's floor by adding foam tile flooring. It adds a layer of separation and insulation.

8

Consider using a battery-powered tent fan for cooling and air circulation. Some models even come with built-in lights.

9

If your tent zippers get stuck, rub a wax candle along the track for smoother operation.

10

Hang a glow stick from the pull tab of the main tent zipper to make it easier to find in the dark.

11

Pack a dustpan to quickly clean out any dirt that finds its way onto the tent floor before taking down your tent.

12

When packing up your tent, fold it into thirds, ensuring it's the width of your tent poles. Roll the tent closed over the tent poles to match the bag's size, making it easier to fit everything inside.
