In-Depth Information
• Don't bring water into the tent with you, be that
on your shoes or on your clothes. If you're soaked,
then leave the wet clothes outside for now.
• Always make sure everyone has something dry
and well-insulated to change into.
• If you're backpacking, then spare clothes are often
limited to underwear. It's absolutely essential to
keep your sleeping bag dry.
• In emergencies, you can dry a pair of socks inside
your sleeping bag, and a damp thermal vest too.
• Keeping a tidy camp means that if it rains while
you're out, your stuff won't get wet.
• Ponchos and umbrellas are handy for dashes to
the lavatory. So of course, are sandals.
Make your umbrella a
sturdy one to withstand
winds in exposed areas.
