Before you go on your initial backpacking or camping trip, practice pitching your tent in the garden. Seal all seams with sealant especially if the tent is made of nylon or synthetic material. Check that all the parts of your gear are present and undamaged. Remember that your gear also needs to be weathered for best results. Spend some time on that in advance.
Correct storage of tents and other camping equipment after your camping or backpacking trip is very essential. Before storing your tent ensure that they are completely dry and all mud or dirt has been removed. Dirt and stains can be removed by either brushing or gently washing with mild soap. Never use detergents on these. Clean your pocket knives before storing. Also keep your flashlight handy, perhaps next to your sleeping bag. These simple health and safety tips will help you have a great time outdoors.
