Camping in the heat can put a damper on your time spend outdoors. Especially when the evenings aren't any cooler than the days, and stepping inside your tent feels more like a sauna than a relaxing place to rest your head for the evening.
Sure warm weather often makes for better fishing, camping, hiking, and exploring days. But if you've ever been stuck in unbearably hot weather with no relief, you can really start to hate life. Sweat is seeping out of all your pores. Your skin feels itchy for no apparent reason. The once enjoyable fresh air now feels sticky and its hard to catch your breath.
C'mon, you've been there too. And when your tent feels about 10 degrees hotter than it was outside, you need relief.
On page 2, we're going to show 5 Stupidly Easy Tips to Cool Down Your Tent.

The articles these guys have are always so genius! I would have never thought to pitch my tent in the shade or use a fan to cool down, that’s just lightyears ahead of conventional thinking.
Whoda thunk it?
That sarcasm though
These posts are mainly for people who have never had any kind if survival training
Oh and the using of ice and ice water… Because ice is quite the commodity in the wilderness.
Ok getting a big oversized tent is stupid it weights more and is inconvenient
Wow! So it true that shade and cooling fan CAN reduce heat in a tent. Who knew?
I switched to a hammock and threw my stuffy old tent away
Survival training? If using a fan to cool down is what survival training teaches you then my 4 year old daughter is Bear Grylls
It’s just ideas for people who have never been out in nature camping, no need to be a smart$#%&!@* Karl Becker
They forgot to add central air conditioning and Popsicles lol
…how often do you happen to have a tent in, survival situations, that you need to know how to cool it down?
When you are prepared for survival situations
I thought part of camping was to do without electric…..
Well, they got the STUPID part
Tip #5 – plug in your air conditioner next to the ice machine.

#6: have sex outside.
FYI…All state parks in Texas have an electrical outlet at the site…..old busted $#%&!@* window unit for your tent at night… Hello!!! 50 deg.at night!!! Woot!
I just wasted 30 seconds of my life, $#%&!@* the author
So glad I read the comments before I read the article… Ha ha
This is so stupid. I think I lost a few iq points reading this
Wear pink jammies. it works in Arizona. LOL
What a $#%&!@* article. Making you click a second link inside is even worse.

Iv used these same ideas with good success
Outside is boring. Inside is $#%&!@*ing intents.
Touche’
Sleep in a hammock. There’s lots of great hammocks that backpackers use that have bug screens, rain flies, and are WAY cooler than the tents shown on these pages. (and don’t weigh 10 lbs like most of the tents shown here) Find a pitch on the edge of a field to the north, which will be the most shaded if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere. Tie a wet bandanna around your neck, evaporative cooling wrapped around those shallow arteries in your neck make you feel cool quickly, especially if it’s hot and dry.
Pitch your tent in the shade? Who would have thought of that!?
Ahh yes, the old I carry a tent with ice and a fan every time I enter the woods on the off chance I find myself in a survival situation trick. My favorite.
Die hard survivor… GTF out of here. I don’t have an issue with the tips necessarily, but the presentation with the name of the site and the content found with in does not match. I would expect to find that info on “the cozy camper” or something.
@[100001264735150:2048:Brandon Pope] Alex Williamson check these can’t do with out tips
So much sarcasm from those who are probably couch potatoes if you are such experts make your own websites, we are highly anticipating your highly skilled and knowledgeable advice

I live in the desert. Just pitch your tent right before sun down. Works for me!
How about pitching the tent parallel to a creek or river, always a breeze either blowing upstream or downstream and can enter and exit easily.
Or a late night bath in the creek or river just before going to sleep will bring body temps down.
Wow, I just learned that shade is cooler, I would have never figured that out
I’m going to unfollow… Y’all can put everything on one page … Gettin sick and tired next page …. Next page …….
Page after page after page…… So lame.
For $#%&!@*’s sake. I thought these were going to be useful. Put your tent in the shade, put shade over your tent, use a fan. WTF…

Buy an RV with an AC.
articles like this are just sad. After reading the first three I thought they were going to say tip 4 go camping in the winter.
Sadly, most folk will never camp away from a road with essentials. Walk a half mile down any trail in Yellowstone and you are essentially alone.

I’m surprised that was not in their tips….
Stole the words out of my mouth.
Useless info , all common sense. ..well for most
