Tent Camping Considerations for First-Timers


Todd Belok earned a master’s degree in biomedical science from Drexel University in Philadelphia. Now, he works as a mental health technician at Temple University Hospital-Episcopal Campus. When he is not working, Todd Belok likes to go camping.

If you have never gone camping in a tent, these three tips may help make your experience memorable for the right reasons:

1. Before you set off on your trip, make sure you know how to set up your tent. Test yourself by setting up the tent in your yard. Assembling your tent at home will also let you check to make sure the tent is in good condition.

2. Warmth is crucial to enjoying your night, and a tent is nothing but a thin layer of fabric separating you from the elements. A sleeping bag is a must, but also consider taking blankets to lay both on top of you and underneath you. You are always better off having too many blankets than too few.

3. If you need silence to sleep, consider taking a pair of earplugs. Any noise outside may keep you awake, from a dog barking in the distance to nearby fellow campers.
