Three Camping Tips from an Expert
David Scotland owns camping equipment retailer Outdoor World Direct and knows all about making a camping trip go well.
When visiting any campsite this summer, it’s important to make sure you don’t make any simple mistakes that could ruin your vacation.
Check your tent
David recommends setting up your tent a few weeks before your trip to give yourself enough time to repair or replace any damaged parts.
He told Sun Online Travel: “You’d be surprised how many people turn up with broken tents.”
Test the waters
Choosing a good location to pitch your tent is difficult and there are many things to consider.
One of them should be the condition of the land where you are pitching your tent, according to David.
He said: “Once you find the perfect spot, test the ground with your stakes before committing to camping there to make sure the ground is soft enough.”
Don’t take a nap in your tent
It may seem like the perfect place for it, but a nap in a tent can end badly if done at the wrong time of day.
David explained: “If the sun is shining and it’s hot inside your tent – don’t do it!
“One of our friends napped in his tent during a heatwave at Glastonbury and ended up in the medical tent with heatstroke.”
Instead, he recommends finding some shade outside or somewhere well-ventilated.
Not only that, but another buyer smiled: “I didn’t know they had this, thank God I found out before my son’s residence. Home bargains are the best.
At the same time, many Instagram users tagged their friends and loved ones to alert them to camping essentials.
