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.

    Clements you are just flat wrong on your advice about how to set the stakes for the tent. Stakes go in at a 90 degree angle to the line, facing AWAY from the tent. Apparently you do not really know what you are talking about and therefore should not be giving out bad advice to those even more naive than yourself. Please, take a course, a NOLS course, or an Appalachian Mountain Club course, or otherwise educate yourself in the CORRECT and PROPER techniques of backcountry camping instead of thinking what you are seeing on the internet is right.
    Just because you can make a fat filled and super sugary cheese cake does not entitle you to promulgate bad advice.
