1. When finding a spot to set your tent for the night choose an area with flat ground.
2.Try an also avoid hills when choosing your location.
3.Make sure to consider sun and wind exposure.
4.Although look for that spot with shade inches away from shade and face the door of the tent away from the wind’s direction.
5.Depends on who’s camping, but I would be near a water source.
6. And always make sure you leave your campsite better than you found it!
*Instructions should come with the tent.
Rope (15 yards) x1
Pantyhose x2
Soap bars x2
Milk jug (empty) x2
Popcorn bowl or bucket
Bungee cord x2
Knife to cut holes
Footlong of yarn x2
Golf tee x2
You can have a garbage bag but keep away from animals at night
If you want to dry your hands make sure to bring close pins and washcloths (depends on the number of people)
Tie one end of the rope around a tree and use the bowline or overhand.
With the other end tie a taut-line hitch around a second tree (near the first tree)
Stick your bars of soap to the bottom of the pantyhose and tie them on the rope (opposite ends)
Cut a hole in the bottom of the jug, stick the golf tee in the hole (to eventually close off the water in the jug), attach yarn to the jug handle and the end of the golf tee, repeat this on the other…
Then put the bungee cord through the jug handle and place it on the rope next to the soap, hanging (repeat)
Place your popcorn bowl or bucket underneath where water will leak out.
Then you can add your wash clothes and garbage bag if prefer... (to hang washcloths you can use close pins)

1.Find a long tree limb to make the spine of your shelter then stick it in a stump of tree
2.Find medium length and thick sticks to add the on the sides (make sure to add to both sides of the spine)
3.Once you have a lot of those add smaller sticks to fill all the whole or open areas
4.Although look for that spot with shade inches away from shade and face the door of the tent away from the wind’s direction.
5.To avoid getting rain in your shelter you need to add about an arm lengths of leaves on top of all the sticks and branches.
