Care of sleeping bag
• Packing– Best practice is stuffing it into a nylon sack– Then place sack into plastic bag
• Washing– Warm or cold water only– Half as much detergent– Use extractor (high speed centrifuge)
• Drying– Low setting– Terry cloth towel will speed drying

What size of tent?
• To be comfortable, the average person needs:– 2 ½’ by 7’ to stretch out– Additional ½’ headroom to dress
• For example a 3-4 person tent is ideal for two people.

Where should you set up tent?
• Avoid meadows– usually a low area
• Avoid flat mossy areas– will attract water from miles away
• Be aware of ground surface– Look for potential trouble due to
rain– Glass, sharp objects, low
branches

Ground Cloth
• Should be placed inside the tent– Outside under the tent will trap water
• Should be plastic-type

Rain Tarp
• 10’ X 10’ nylon or plastic tarp strung between trees
• Is great as a “dry area” in wet weather

Camp Stove
• Types:– Gasoline
• Most reliable• Very volatile
– Kerosene• Same BTU as gasoline• Less volatile
– Propane• Relatively inexpensive• Good heat• Packaging can be problem
– Butane• Cute• Unreliable in cooler
temperatures
![Page 11: Camping. All kinds of ways to camp Primitive Tents and some services Tents or a camper and full services Recreational vehicle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf14c9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What to look for in a stove?
• Stability: you don’t want it to tip over
• Ease of starting: built in pump is best
• Adjustable flame: especially fine adjustments of the flame
• Susceptibility to wind: avoid aluminum windscreens, they tend to be flimsy
![Page 12: Camping. All kinds of ways to camp Primitive Tents and some services Tents or a camper and full services Recreational vehicle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf14c9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Knife
• A good camping knife is:– 4” to 5” blade– Thin (1/8”) is best
• Use a sharpening stone– Raise back of blade 15 to
20 degrees– Push blade down into
stone– Maintain a light film of
cutting oil or water

Fire
• Collect all needed materials before beginning
• Butane lighters work best
• Have matches available
![Page 15: Camping. All kinds of ways to camp Primitive Tents and some services Tents or a camper and full services Recreational vehicle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf14c9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Building a fire
• Patience
• Lay a good foundation of fine tinder
• Above that: crisscross a few larger twigs
• As tinder catches, slowly add larger pieces of wood
• Wet conditions
• Types of wood

Extinguishing the blaze
• Where there is smoke there is fire
• Thoroughly douse everything with water
• Check the fire with your hands
![Page 18: Camping. All kinds of ways to camp Primitive Tents and some services Tents or a camper and full services Recreational vehicle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf14c9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ecological Concerns
• Leftover foods– Either pack it out or burn it
• Garbage– Burn all garbage– Pack out anything that won’t burn
• Fish entrails– Bury them as far from campsite as possible
• Human waste– Dig a “cat hole” (4” to 8” deep) and bury it– Burn the toilet paper
• Washing dishes– Do at least 100’ from water source
![Page 19: Camping. All kinds of ways to camp Primitive Tents and some services Tents or a camper and full services Recreational vehicle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf14c9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
If obtaining water from lake/river
• Go well away from shoreline
• Go to deepest point
• Avoid greenish tinge
• Avoid stagnant areas
• From incoming source not outgoing source
• Not near a beaver dam
![Page 20: Camping. All kinds of ways to camp Primitive Tents and some services Tents or a camper and full services Recreational vehicle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf14c9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Field water purification process
• Boiling– Must boil the water for at least one minute– Allow water to cool
• Portable filters– Won’t remove Giardia
• Chemicals– Don’t work well in the cold
![Page 21: Camping. All kinds of ways to camp Primitive Tents and some services Tents or a camper and full services Recreational vehicle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf14c9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Animals
• Bears– Don’t confront an
aggressive bear– Don’t run away– Back away slowly and
calmly– Make yourself appear
as “big” as possible– Suggestion: climbing
nearest tree??• Remember black bears
are very good climbers
![Page 22: Camping. All kinds of ways to camp Primitive Tents and some services Tents or a camper and full services Recreational vehicle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf14c9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Other animals
• Raccoons– Are very good with
their “hands”– Are very inquisitive
• Skunks– Will sniff out anything – Potent defense!– But also claws and
teeth!

dark colors
• Repellents can dissolve plastics
![Page 25: Camping. All kinds of ways to camp Primitive Tents and some services Tents or a camper and full services Recreational vehicle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf14c9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Your clothing
• Avoid cotton – a pair of wet jeans could take 14 hours to air dry
Best to wear:– Wool– Polypropylene– Gortex– Acrylics– nylon
![Page 26: Camping. All kinds of ways to camp Primitive Tents and some services Tents or a camper and full services Recreational vehicle.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee15503460f94bf14c9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Hypothermia
• Hypothermia – killer of the unprepared– Remove wet clothes – “sandwich” victim
between two people is the best warming method
– Radiant heat will work well too
• But intense heat can burn sensitive skin
