13. Repair your tent
It’s safe to assume that if camping is your preferred vacation spot, you’ve encountered more than your share of difficulties. In the event of a tent or air mattress tear, you may have to cut your camping trip short and return home sooner than planned. Pack some duct tape in your camping gear the next time you go away. Duct tape is an exceptionally strong adhesive, so if a tear appears in your camping gear you won’t have to cancel your vacation. Repair a tent fly, a torn sleeping bag, or a popped air mattress using duct tape. It won’t last, but it’ll do to get you where you need to go for now.
