I’d like to give you some advice about how to set up your tent, these advice are useful both for hikes with the tent and for camping:

• be sure that the ground is not too much sloped, otherwise you risk to spend the night with the sleeping bag slipping on the mat
• before set up your tent you have to remove stones, branches or other things can damages the tent
• don’t put your tent under a tree, the tree can bring lightning, it’s lived by insects and a branch can fall on your tent
• put a sheet (cellophane is OK) under the tent, it’s a good insulator against moisture and it avoids tent to get a bad smell
• the sheet under the tent don’t have to come out from the tent border, if start to rain a water layer will be formed between the sheet and the tent ground
• before pack your tent, spread out it on the grass
• once at home, unpack the tent and let it get some air.

If you need some advice about how to choose your tent take a look at the previously post: How to choose your tent.
