    Start with a test run by camping in someone’s backyard. This lets you see what you use and what you don’t need without being out in the middle of nowhere. Make a list as you are out there of problems and things to make it easier

      Totally agreed with the recommendation to start in a backyard (or car camping in a nearby place if no backyard available).

      Sleeping in a tent is easy. Set it up, put in your sleeping pad, bag/quilt, pillow solution, ta da. Make sure you pick a good site that isn’t next to water, in a wind channel, under a dead tree branch, etc. Depending on the tent material, tighten it up again after you pitch it before you go to sleep.
