01

Pick the Perfect Site

Look for level ground with natural drainage. Avoid low-lying basins where cold air and moisture settle overnight.

02

Master the Fire

Always carry three ways to start a fire. Practice your log cabin and teepee structures before the sun goes down.

03

Stay Dry Always

A ground sheet (footprint) is vital. Ensure it doesn't peak out from under your tent, or it will catch and pool rain.

04

Leave No Trace

Respect the lab's testing grounds. Pack out all trash, stay on trails, and minimize impact to preserve the wild.
