Camping 101
Les Stroud from the Discovery Channel's Survivorman on how to survive-and actually enjoy-the wilderness.
Pitch a tent
“This should be the first thing you do when you arrive at your campsite. A storm could be upon you in 25 minutes and you want to be ready. I suggest any of the high-end tents by the North Face, Marmot or Arc’teryx. Get a cheaper tent and you’ll regret it as soon as the rain hits—you can’t assume every night is going to be peaceful and starry. Tents are a piece of cake to set up these days because everything pops into place easily. Get there, set up your tent, throw your stuff inside and open a bottle of wine.”
