In the off-chance that you finally roll into your campsite at 2am and it is raining, you will be able to set up your tent without additional stress.

Another camping tip is to always know where your head lamp is; especially if there is any possibility of you arriving at your campsite after dark.

That guy-line tensioner is a life saver because it keeps your tent secure and it keeps a little bit of the wind noise down.

Wind can whip at your tent and wake you up if you don’t secure it properly.  Knowing the basics of tying a guy line for your tent will help you have a more relaxed camping experience.

Step By Step Instructions for Setting Up Your Guy Lines

  • Sort your guy lines and untangle them
  • Use a simple hitch to tie the free end of the guy line to the tent loop
  • Attach the guy line loop to the tent stake
  • Use the guy-line tensioner to keep your tent lines taut
  • In windy environments, check the tensioner DAILY and adjust accordingly

Breaking Down Your Tent at the End of Your Trip

  1. If you have dew or rain, allow your tent to dry before packing it up.  If that is impossible, YOU MUST remember to allow your tent to dry when you get back home.  You run the risk of mold and mildew if you pack away a wet or damp tent.
  2. While the tent is still assemble, open one door and pick up the tent.  Shake your tent vigorously to cause any sand, dirt, or debris to fall out of the open door.
  3. Your tent does not need to be rolled up perfectly.  Use the stuff sack.  It literally means for you to stuff your tent in the sack.  Pack it down to the bottom to ensure that the tent, ground cloth, and rain tarp fit.

I use the very affordable Zephyr 2 by ALPS.  It is marketed as a two-man tent, but it works better as a car camping one-man tent.

Recipe Review: Lipsmakin’ Backpackin’ Berry Milk Shake

May 3, 2013 by Jason Clements

Berry Smoothie

At first glance, this looks like a super easy recipe with satisfying food that will be easy to take on any day-trip to multi-week trip.  And, it is a very affordable recipe with the 4 lb bag of frozen berries from Costco as the most expensive item at $9.99. I knew I would use all the berries in some manner, so I didn’t mind dehydrating the whole bag.  But, as I got to the end of trying it out this milk shake at home, this recipe ended up being a bit of a clean-up nightmare and it really didn’t have a great flavor either.

Border-to-Border Berry Milk Shake Details

  • Dehydrate frozen berries – any
  • Add dried banana chips
  • Add powdered milk
  • Add powdered buttermilk

Blend all ingredients until a fine powder.  Store in zip-lock bag.  While on hike, just add water to a few tablespoons of powdered smoothie, and ta-dah, you have a Berry Milkshake in the wilderness!  Well, almost.

Dehydrating

I use the Excalibur 3900B 9 Tray Deluxe Dehydrator, Black.
