This will protect the floor of your tent and make it last longer. Also don't sleep directly on the ground unless you like having all the heat sucked out of your sleeping bag. Use a cot or some sort of foam mattress to insulate yourself. .-= Leigh´s last blog ..<a href="http://popupcampingtent.net/pop-up-campers-better-than-a-tent-and-almost-as-good-as-a-caravan/" rel="nofollow">Pop Up Campers Better Than A Tent And Almost As Good As A Caravan</a> =-.

For example, in the fall it's hard to leave home on Friday night after work and make it to the camp site before dark. Does this mean I should never go camping in the fall? How about bringing along a lantern to light the area as I'm setting up camping. You mention keeping your camp fire away from your tent. Good idea for sure. How about looking at the ground around the fire for combustibles (like pine needles) or over head for ladder fuels? There's more to campfire safety than just keeping the fire away from your tent. What about bringing along a first aid kit for cuts, burns, or other types of emergencies you might face? You've gotten a good start, but more detail would have helped.
