First, you want to make sure that you're pitching your tent on dry ground and you really want to look at all the ground that your tent is going to be laying over and make sure there are no tree roots, no rocks and the ground is level.

首先，你要確保你的帳篷是在乾燥的地面上搭建的，你真的要看看你的帳篷要鋪設的所有地面，確保沒有樹根，沒有石頭，地面是平整的。

If you pitch your tent so that your head is lower than your feet, you could end up with a really bad headache.

如果你把帳篷搭得頭比腳還低，最後可能會出現很嚴重的頭痛。

So you want to make sure the ground is level.

所以你要確保地面是平整的。

If the ground isn't level, you actually just want to make sure that you sleep with your head higher than your feet.

如果地面不平，其實你只要保證你睡覺時頭比腳高就可以了。

Clear away any rocks, tree branches, all that stuff because you will feel it when you're sleeping.

清理掉所有的石頭、樹枝這些東西，因為你睡覺的時候會感覺到。

Don't get lazy about putting the stakes in your tent. So the stakes are what keep the tent stretched all the way out to it's full capacity, keep it down.

帳篷裡的木樁不要懶得放。所以，木樁是讓帳篷一直伸展到滿滿的，讓它保持下去。

So if there's wind your tent could end up getting lifted up and taken away.

所以如果有風的話，你的帳篷最終可能會被掀起來帶走。

That happened to a tent of mine.

我的一個帳篷就發生過這樣的事。

It actually was pulled with the stakes and everything and one of the poles broke, and the tent was done for.

其實就是用木樁什麼的拉了一下，其中一根杆子斷了，帳篷就完蛋了。

So you want to make sure you stake your tent down.

所以你要確保你的帳篷被打樁。

The other thing about staking the tend down is that if you don't stake it down it'll start to get all bunchy on the bottom and that's not going to make for good sleeping either.

還有一點就是，如果你不把筋紮下去，它的底部就會開始變得很束，那也不會有好的睡眠。

Another big piece of tent etiquette is religiously zipping up the door when you come in and out because if you don't your tent will get filled with bugs, which stinks.

帳篷的另一大禮儀是在進出帳篷時虔誠地拉上拉鍊，因為如果你不拉上拉鍊，你的帳篷裡就會充滿蟲子，很臭。

Mosquitoes all through the night when your tent camping is one of the worst things that could happen.

當你在帳篷裡露營時，蚊子整夜都是最糟糕的事情之一。

If your tent has a rainfly, you probably want to use it.

如果你的帳篷有一個雨簾，你可能想使用它。

They're usually designed so that they don't block off the ventilation.

它們通常被設計成不會阻擋通風。

You're still able to get a nice breeze in the tent.

你在帳篷裡還能吹到好風。

But if it starts to rain you don't have to fumble looking around for your rain fly and put it up in the middle of the rain.

但如果開始下雨了，你就不用到處亂找你的雨傘，在雨中把它掛起來。

Another thing that I really like to do and I know a lot of other campers like too is to bring flip-flops.

另一件我非常喜歡做的事情，我知道很多其他營員也喜歡，就是帶拖鞋。

So as soon as you get to your tent door you're going to need to take your boots off or your sneakers off, and the nice thing to have around is flip-flips.

所以一到帳篷門口就需要脫掉靴子或者脫掉運動鞋，而身邊好的東西就是翻轉鞋。

They're great for walking around your campsite. They are really easy to take on and off.

它們很適合在營地周圍行走。他們真的很容易採取和關閉。

So you'll make sure that you keep your tent clean and there's not all kinds of dirt and sticks and rocks inside your tent.

所以你要保證你的帳篷保持清潔，帳篷裡面不會有各種汙垢和棍棒、石頭。
