Q.
What are some things I should have for my tent when going camping? A.
You should bring a tarp, air mattress and a battery powered lantern for your tent when going camping.
These items will make your tent more comfortable while camping for the following reasons...
  First, have a large tarp that you can lay down on the ground under your tent.
This will keep your tent cleaner and prevent rips in your tent due to small rocks and tree limbs.
By having a tarp between your tent and the ground it creates a moisture barrier.
I also recommend to extend the tarp far enough in front on the tent door so campers have a place to remove their hiking boots before going into the tent.
  Second, I would get an air mattress along with either a hand pump or a pump you can plug into your vehicles' cigarette lighter.
The air mattress makes sleeping in a tent much more comfortable.
You can even get one that is extra thick so it is easier to crawl out of bed in the morning.
  And third, get a battery powered lantern.
A battery powered lantern is a safe way to have light in the tent for your campers without creating a fire hazard.
Your campers will thank you for the extra light when getting dressed or if they need to get up in the middle of the night.
  So, as you can see, these three things will make your tent more comfortable and enjoyable on your next camping trip.
