PRACTICE PUTTING YOUR TENT UP BEFORE YOU LEAVE HOME!!!

It’s hard to  watch, but most people would rather have you ignore them than offer to help.  It’s embarrassing to have camping neighbors close by while you’re trying to figure out how to put up your tent.  I know because I’ve been there and I have also watched others struggle through the process. It’s too early in your vacation to have the tension run high, so if you have a new tent,  you’ll definitely want to practice putting it up in the yard before you leave on your trip.

Yes, I think I’ll add that to the camping checklist right now!
