• Stake in the corners before assembling your tent.  Also your tent should be completely flat when inserting the main poles.

  • If rain is expected the rain fly should be “taught”.  In other words keep the material tight so that puddles can’t form.

  • Never keep your tent near the fire pit.  If possible place your tent under a safe tree.  This helps keep your tent dry if  it rains.

  • Keeping a footprint or tarp under your tent helps keep moisture out.  Even if it doesn’t rain moisture accumulates on grass overnight.
