1) Read the Wind 🌬️

The wind shapes comfort more than temperature.

• Pitch your door on the leeward side for quiet, calm shelter.
• Use trees, rocks, and terrain to break gusts naturally.
• Drop the windward stake first — your tent learns its shape from that anchor.

2) Anchor Smart 🧵⛺

Good anchors make a campsite feel solid and silent.

• Set guylines at clean V-angles for tension that holds.
• Use deadman anchors in sand or snow — buried sticks, sacks, or stakes.
• Stones: backup only. They are helpers, not substitutes.

3) Dry Zone vs. Wet Zone 💧➡️😴

Protect your sleeping gear like it’s your survival system — because it is.

• Cook, wash, and handle water outside the sleeping zone.
• Use a small ground cloth to keep pads and quilts clean and dry.
• One wet sock can turn into a long night — be deliberate.

4) Light Where You Live 🔦✨

Light shapes mood, calm, and orientation after dark.

• Lantern low for soft glow.
• String lights high to define space.
• Headlamp only for tasks.
• Warm color temps = calmer nights + easier sleep.

5) Pack to Reverse 🎒🔁

Unpacking should feel like a welcome, not a chore.

• Last out, first in when packing your bag.
• At dusk: sleeping kit on top = go straight to rest.
• At dawn: rain shell on top = adapt without repacking.

Comfort per gram beats luxury per pound — every time.
