Good site selection is a skill that can help eliminate most of the problems that arise at camp/sleep. Sleep cold? Wake up wet? Ground too hard? Too windy? Site selection.

I have been improving my campsite selection skills over the last year. Boy does it make a difference. Drier, warmer, and less buggy for the win.

I felt proud when I read the next parts talking about planning camping zones and realized I had started doing that already anyway. Yeah! Time outdoors is actually giving some experience!

It does, doesn’t it? A few years ago I thought all sites were created equal. Nope! 😀
