<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nAll of your outdoor gear needs TLC. Enjoying the Great Outdoors through hiking, camping, climbing, cycling, and more, is a great way to keep fit, see awesome scenery, and get to know Mother Nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They’re also great ways of destroying kit, wearing down expensive equipment, and always fighting a battle to keep everything organised and usable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To keep your tent in good working order (i.e., keeping you dry overnight even if it’s raining), then it helps to follow a few easy steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, keep it clean. I’d recommend cleaning it after every trip, especially if it was wet and muddy. Clean the tent inside and out with a soapy rag, then dry it by hanging it up, preferably in the sun with lots of airflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once it’s clean, store it in a dry place. It’s super important always to make sure it’s dry before you store your tent. If not, mould and mildew can grow and ruin your tent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I store my tent in a loose cotton sack. Instead of folding it or rolling it tightly back into its carrying bag, I stuff it like a sleeping bag into a loose bag when I’m not using it. This helps to stop fold lines from appearing, which can develop into stress lines and deteriorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Always give your tent a good check over before <\/em>you go camping. The last thing you want to do is set it up and find a massive hole in the side or gaping wide seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf you do find a problem that needs fixing fast, that’s where Flex Seal comes in handy. A can or roll of tape can quickly get you out of a fix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
