| Tents |
| Unless you intend to build a natural shelter
or are sleeping 'indoors', you will probably find it a good
idea to take some tentage to camp. What tentage you have (or
need) will vary according to your needs. It may also be a good
idea to know how to erect your tents and how to handle them
with care. As for fire lighting, there is simply no substitute
for experience.
You must practice the information on these pages for yourself.
You will soon know if you have learnt anything when you first
have to put up a tent in complete darkness, in high winds,
whilst the rain is coming down hard with just a little help
from others (believe me, it will happen sooner or later!).
These pages hope to introduce some basic ideas on pitching
and striking tents, care and maintenance and a little information
on the different types of tentage.
