Choosing the Right Campsite Location
Begin your setup by selecting a level, sheltered area with natural wind protection. Avoid low-lying grounds that may collect water during rain. A stable base improves comfort and reduces potential hazards.
Pitching Tents and Shelters
Clear debris and flatten the ground before setting up tents. Use footprint or ground cover for added moisture resistance. Follow manufacturer instructions for secure staking and optimal ventilation.
