Pitching Your Tents In The Rain

Pitching a tent while it is raining does require some skills as well as experience in order to get the job done right and efficiently so as to get the tent set up in time. Here is a simple guide on how to pitch tents in the rain:

1.       Choose your site carefully. A gentle slope that’s away from the rain puddles, rivers, pools, or any other water conglomerations would do nicely. Also avoid steep slopes and flat ground, and always place entrance of the Arabian tents or any other tent that you might be using downhill-facing.

2.       Ideally, you would also need to choose a spot to pitch where tarpaulin could be efficiently utilized as additional roof over the tent, jutting rock formations or in among trees. You may try and locate a spot suitable for it on elevated ground with slight slope, and also use cords or ropes inserted into tent’s metal eyelets of the tarpaulin so as to hand-up the sheet.

3.       Once tarpaulin is overhead, you will have a securely sheltered camping spot from where you can pitch your tent more comfortable. You may use tarpaulin to pitch garden tents as well.

4.       Once you have pitched the tent, make sure that you get in without dampening groundsheet or the dry gear. Work strategically, fill empty water bottles before entering the tent the first time, so that you aren’t needed to go out the tent again, thereby making a mess. Never mix up dry and wet kit, and leave the waterproof gear at the tent’s entrance.
