Favorite Camping Tip ? Care to add yours ?

About a year or two ago someone started a "favorite camping tip" thread and it took off quite informatively. Things like using bungees as a buffer for tarps to prevent ripping, or laying a carpet remnant on the extra floor space of a tent (my favorite). Little ideas that make the camping experience more enjoyable. Campers are very creative (we have to be).

Let's hear yours,

Elliot

    I always totally set up the tent at home and reseal the seams BEFORE the first use each season.

    If you can fit it in with everything else, bring a rake to the campsite to smooth out the immediate tent site and also to eliminate any stones or foreign objects that might puncture the floor.

    Keep your meats, dairy products and other perishable items in a separate cooler than your more frequently go to items such as drinks and snacks to minimize the opening of the cover. Freeze what you can ahead of time and put everything else in cold.
