5 TIPS TO MANAGE RAIN CAMPING

How To Be Better Prepared
1. Waterproof your Gear (Gore-Tex is not a solution).
You will carry less weight (as water) and your gear functions better when it was waterproofed.
2. Use a Vestibule
Nobody likes putting on wet boots before hiking. Get a reliable freestanding Tent that is quick to set up, has a vestibule, great waterproofing and a separate ground tarp is recommended too.
3. Know your surroundings - Find Shelter If Possible
It rained for 4 days in a row when I was in New Zealand but because we knew where the National Park hut was, we were able to start a fire to dry our clothes, oh what a luxury.
4. Extra Cover Is A Godsend
Even when going out for day hikes it's a good idea to bring along a tarp in case you get caught in the rain, our hammock tarp is a quick set up and will keep you dry for hours while you wait out the rain.
5. Bring a warm sleep system
Being wet and cold is a recipe for disaster if you have to camp in the rain. You need to be able to stay warm and comfortable whilst resting your tired body, it is critical.
Is there any outdoors person who likes waking up tired?
The whole idea of TNH is to give you the gear that you need so you can focus on the trail. You should not have to worry or be distracted by gear that won't work on the trail.
You need the gear to be simple and functional.
But we’ve seen a bevy of fatigue issues in our day, with even the most experienced outdoorsmen. While they’re not something to call 911 about, a slipping strap or an uncomfortable pad can be the kind of low-level aggravation that slowly saps your energy or drives you nuts.
I am an experienced backpacker and car camper and this item is a must have! My wife and I bought two for our January trip to Joshua Tree and we couldn't have been happier. These pads offer a ton of support and are super easy to blow up.

As a lifelong camper and hiker, Richard says
"Sleep is something I Don't Gamble with Anymore."
Who hasn't tried to create their very own DIY sleeping pad, in the attempt to get that perfect balance of soft and hard? We know those struggles. Getting the right sleeping system when camping in the outdoors is vital to a great adventure.
I also noticed more energy to explore further the next day because I was sleeping in greater comfort and not at the expense of extra weight, insulation and leaks.
For what it’s worth, it’s not just me who thinks the TNH Outdoors Self Inflating Sleeping Pad is one of the single greatest, does-what-it-says-it-will products of all time. Turns out, 40,000 people chose this pad in the first year that is was launched - that’s huge.
I confess I've had some shocking night's sleep in the outdoors before and it really hurts the next day. Not only do you wake up feeling ordinary and lacking energy but you are overall just grumpy. And guess what? A while ago, when out hiking I was rude to my friend and that's a great way to spoil the fun in the outdoors.
I didn't know it at the time, but I was about to embark on an educational and creative journey - one that would begin with some awful sleeping pad choices and potential consequences but it ultimately lead me to the creation of the new TNH Outdoors Self Inflating Sleeping Pad and I have to say, my sleeping pad, is much more comfortable than the status quo when it comes to camper and we created it!
As I mentioned at the start, sleep is very important, please remember that you are resting to play better. I would strongly recommend not buying a poor quality sleeping pad for this reason.
Our sleeping pads have a unique ratio of air to foam to create the strength needed to support side and back sleepers. Our product developer and co-founder Che, has discovered the perfect density of foam to that you simply turn the nozzle and in the time it takes to walk around the tent your pad is ready.
With a Lifetime Warranty. And the best part is if it does not work for you there's a money-back guarantee so you don't have to worry. And you are anything like Derek, you will consider it money very well spent.
