Chapter 1.2 - Get Prepared
It will rain and flood. It will be freezing cold and baking hot. Winds routinely reach 60 to 100 kilometres per hour. And if it's not doing that, it's sunny and hot and you'll want somewhere to escape to.
So bring shelter….and secure it to the ground with pegs or stakes three times longer and thicker than you’ve ever seen in your life. And bring some kind of Thor’s hammer (and Thor) to bang them in with.
Bring a light rake to clear the area under and around your shelter.
Use only heavy duty gazebos, and secure them with star pickets alongside each leg.
If it’s a tent, put it up at home to get familiar with it and check for missing pieces or damage. You’ll probably pick a nice day to do that. That will be nothing like you’ll find at Blaze, but enjoy the experience.
Label all your gear.
And if you’re not camping savvy, check out how to be on the internet.
