How to pack a tent?

The more carefully you pack your tent, the easier it will be to set it up next time. In an ideal world, we pack our tents dry and clean. But what about rainy days? What if you’re in a hurry to catch your train and don’t have time to roll your tent into a beautiful roll? We have provided you with a step-by-step guide on how to pack your tent and end your nature holiday successfully.

           

  • Pay attention to humidity
    Even if the sun is shining outside, don’t forget that the moisture in the tent is deposited on your body or wet by morning dew. Therefore, immediately after waking up, untie the top sheet and allow it to dry. You can hang it from a tree branch, drop it on a bush or bike, whatever you have on hand. Just be careful not to tear your sails.
  • How do I remove the rod
    In order not to damage the cable inside the rod, press the rod to push it out of the tunnel. When you pull the rods, they usually come loose, and over time the cables can be damaged by unnecessary pressure. When unfolded, it is best to start in the middle, again due to the tension of the cable.
  • Pins in the package
    The pins and rods have original bags. There are several reasons. First, everything is in one place, and nothing is lost. Second, both pins and rods have sharp points, and the last thing you want is a loose pin leaving a hole in the sail. If you lose your bag, improvise. For example, use a scarf or socks.
  • Separate all parts
    We recommend packing tents, tarps, nails and poles separately. You never know under what conditions you’ll pitch your tent next time. Once it rains, it is best to pack the tarp separately and not roll it inside the tent. Your friend can then hold it over you as a roof, and you can set up a tent under it. When the wind is strong, it can be useful to have nails handy and immediately secure the tent to the ground.
  • Roll, fold or wrap?
    Most people roll their tents into neat cream-colored rolls. We’ve already seen some stackers. But what about loading into a package? In short, someone who stuffs a tent into a package while it’s pouring rain outside and doesn’t want to waste time neatly rolling up the filled fabric will unpack and dry again in a few hours anyway.
  • Otherwise, there isn’t much practical benefit to stuffing a tent into a package. By rolling or folding, it will form a more compact package that is easier to fit into a backpack. Whether you buy a rolled-up tent at the store.
  • Pack the tent in the rain
    If it rains and you have to go, there’s nothing you can do. He cleaned up the wet tent. Open the package as soon as you get home. Either re-pitch the tent or throw it on the clothesline to dry. Before putting it away, make sure everything is very dry – even the hook bag, string, or hook itself. If you store a damp tent, it will be mouldy, moldy and not waterproof when you unwrap it next year.
