  • Pool Noodles - Place them like this in your canopy so they add tension to the roof. This will prevent rain water from collecting near the edge and weighing down the roof.

    I always place the entrance to my tent under a canopy. This allows me to to stay dry when entering the tent. It also protects me from the sun. And I can put a rug down in front of my tent to wipe my feet.

    If you are using multiple canopies, considering some canopy gutters. They are basically 1 foot by 10 feet strips of tent material that you attach between two canopies. This way you don’t have to avoid the drip-strip under two canopies.

    Outdoor rugs can help to prevent the ground from becoming a muddy mess. They sell large, lightweight plastic rugs that work very well for this. They can be folded down to a portable size and are very light. They allow water to pass through, so they don’t soak it up and become heavy.

    I’ve learned to not put a tarp under my tent, that just traps water between the tent and the tarp. Put a tarp down inside your tent and then put a rug (or towels) on top of that. Nice dry comfy rug in your tent.

    Apparently it rains every time I go camping…













  • If you wear ear plugs often you may look into getting a set of high fidelity ear plugs. There are several brands, I have a pair of Earasers and there’s another brand called Eargasm as well. They are as effective as disposable ear plugs, but they don’t sound as muffled. Basically it reduces the overall decibel level but everything sounds almost normal.








  • I support daylight savings time more and all of those regions where the sun doesn’t rise before 7AM can switch time zones.

    For example, all of the USA switches to permanent daylight savings time, and the western portion of Texas that sees 0 days with a sunrise before 7 AM switches to the Mountain time zone. Now they will experience sunrise before 7 AM much more often.
