Brush off your tent and sweep out the inside of your tent before disassembling.
Never put your tent or shelter away wet. It will grow mould! Make sure the tent and fly are dry before disassembling. Hang it from branches or a clothesline off the ground to allow air to dry all surfaces. If you cannot wait for the tent to dry, set it up as soon as you get home.
Follow the folding directions for your tent. The folded tent should be no wider than the tent bag before rolling it up.
Camp Stove
Empty refillable fuel canisters into fuel can to prevent build-up on fuel tube.
Clean your stove with warm water and soap. Tilt stove upside-down to dry.
Store in a well-sealed container.
Follow manufacturer’s directions.
Coolers
At home, empty cooler, drain water, throw out food waste, wash with warm water and soap and let cooler dry with the lid open before storing.
Storing Gear
Use large plastic bins with lids to store camping gear. That way, everything is ready to go for your next camping trip.
