camping in a tent

Camping season has begun and already it's starting to get warm outside. During the long and hot summer ahead, you'll be wishing you had some way to keep your tent warm. In fact, one of the biggest drawbacks of camping during the high season is that tents get hot in the summer sun.

An easy way to avoid this is by camping in an RV with A/C, but that's no fun, is it? If you're like most preppers you want the camping experience with no frills.

So what do you do to keep your tent cool when the temps outside are reaching into the upper 90's and above?

Luckily there are some tricks you can use to your advantage when you're planning out that summer camping trip. These tips will come in handy and will keep your tent at a comfortable temperature.

After the break learn what these tricks are and how to employ them yourself!

    Put up a heavy guage tarp about a foot above your tent to provide shade and allow air to circulate between them..

    Those tips suck. “Place your tent in the shade, place it into the wind.”

    Sign this petition: By law, Hillary $ Clinton cannot be president or hold any office now (factually speaking). Next up: indictment. But don’t wait! We need 100,000 signatures to #FeelTheBern……. Why bother with ALL her problems and horrid judgment?? So I don’t! Easy. Always defending someone? This is your clue—less! (known as “red flags” in educated circles) No one needs defend Bernie… He is the leader with impeccable judgment & experience….#FeelTheIntegrity

    Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 2071(b) –

    She did not surrender all her emails as requested = law broken. Politifact says she is mostly false about the “others did it too”, she didn’t even use a password, she did not comply with IG/FBI investigations nor did her staff, as promised.. then she flat out lied to the media about it for 10 months.. and continues to not take ownership now. ABOUT LYING. Keeps getting worse… This is 9 year old, go-to-your-room-without-play-time stuff.

    kind of. one of the suggestions is to put a fan next to a bucket of ice…

  5. Michael Grossberg said:

    I hope that the “suggestions” in the post are intended as a joke. Put your tent in a two foot deep hole? Leave the rain fly off, so the interior of you tent can get soaked? How about “pitching your tent in the shadiest spot”; what if there ISN’T any?

    Does anyone proofread their work before posting? According to the second sentence , I’ll be looking for a way to keep my tent warm in the summer. Really?

    Dont waste your time reading this pile of crap. Dig a hole 2′ deep and put your tent in it. By the time your done digging a hole that big and deep your weekend is over and you will need to fill the in the hole. Reject

  8. Glenn Clark said:

    Lol, why not just say to pitch it inside an airconditioned room indoors!

    I didn’t know my 6 year old was a staff writer here. Place your tent in the shade. Wow. Enlightening. Thank you!

    “Pitch in the shade?” Duh!
    “Dig a hole?” What???
    Use ice and a fan???? Camping?
    If I have an ice maker, I don’t need a tent.
    Stupid.
