In-Depth Information
Waterproof bags should be kept handy to keep
clothes dry, or store dirty clothes before washing.
A dry-bag, which can be sealed, is useful for
cameras or phones.
Clotheslines can be made easily enough, but
outdoor stores carry handy elasticated clotheslines
that work inside tents.
A dustpan and brush will keep your tent tidy and
sand out of your sleeping bag. Camping by a beach
can result in large levels of sand getting inside your
tent, so sweep often.
A first-aid kit, well maintained and updated, is
essential. Check that any medicines are not out-of-
date and replaced as necessary (see pp108-9).
A multi-tool should be carefully stored but there are
lots of small jobs where a penknife or multi-tool is
useful, from cutting rope to extracting fishing hooks.
Keep a tool for every task
safely stowed away
in your pocket.
