Keep Your Tent Out of the Sun (And More Tips to Make Your Tent Last)

Whether you’re a casual backyard camper or an outdoor enthusiast accustomed to spending summers car camping across national parks, your tent is one of the most important pieces of equipment you’ll take on your adventure.

It’s also among the most expensive gear you’ll purchase. So you’ll want to keep it in good shape for as long as possible.
