Tent organisation

This might seem obvious, but don't go into the inner tent with your shoes on. If you do, you will get dirt and mud in the inner tent and any stones that may be trapped in your cleats or tread could damage the groundsheet.

Be tidy and organised within your tent and get into a routine. Have a usual place for every thing, that way it will be less of a mess and it is easier to find things in the dark.

Have a torch in a regular place so that it can be found in the night. We have a micro LED torch permanently clipped on to a tag hanging from the top of the inner tent. It's so light weight, it just gets rolled up with the tent when we pack. (make sure that it has a plastic body and clip so there is nothing to rust and mark your tent inner should it get damp and make sure that it has a switch that cannot be easily turned on when it gets rolled up!)

Keep the inner tent dry, when it is raining don't go in with wet waterproofs on. One advantage of our Hilleberg Stalon GT is that it has a very large outer awning vestibule which means that there is plenty of room to get in with waterproofs on and take them off, keeping ourselves and the inner tent dry. If you don't have a large awning and it is chucking it down, crouch down in the entrance and very quickly whip your waterproofs off and then get in.

If you've had a bit of a wet day, try and dry out wet or damp waterproofs at the earliest opportunity. If you leave wet or even slightly damp waterproofs or clothing in your panniers they will begin to smell horrid and there is a good risk that they will become mildewed, particularly if it is warm. Mildew will leave black stains, which are difficult to remove even after washing.
