The 5 Camping Tent Tips You Need to Know

Wazzup Pilipinas!

If you’re going camping tent shopping, that probably means that you have an excursion in your future. Maybe you plan on taking the kids on an adventure to a national park. It could be that you’re not feeling that ambitious yet, and you’re taking your tent no further than the backyard.

Either way, there are some camping tent tips about which you should know. We’ve cultivated this list, and we’re passing our knowledge on to you. Consider each of these factors before you pull the trigger and purchase your next camping tent.


Select One that’s Easy for You to Set Up

As you look at camping tents, one of the first things you should think about is how easy to set up it is. If you’re camping in the backyard, it’s not such a big deal if you have an uncooperative tent. You can go back inside, study the directions some more, or even go online and look for some message boards. Maybe other individuals are running into the same problems that you are.

However, if you’re out in the wild, and night is falling, that tent is your shelter. Maybe you’re miles from your vehicle or any other human comforts, or perhaps it’s starting to rain. In that scenario, you’re going to want a tent that you can figure out how to construct relatively easily. 

Figure Out How Many People Can Fit Inside

If you’re going camping, and you have three people, plus a three-person tent, then you should be in good shape, right? Well, not necessarily.

It could be that you’ve got three individuals who are going on this trip. Maybe all three of you come from a larger family, and you know that the average tent won’t fit you.

If all of you try to cram into this one tent, you might be practically lying on top of each other. That’s not going to be very comfortable for you, and perhaps you’ll need to deal with it for multiple nights if this is a longer trip.

If you’re a larger person, and you know you’re going camping with some other sizeable individuals, you might go for a four or a six-person tent, even if there are just three of you.


Look at the Safety Features

If you’re going to be in an area with venomous snakes, ticks, or other wildlife that you’d prefer not to encounter up close, think about that as you look at the various tent models out there. You might look closely at the zipper and tent flaps.

Ideally, there should be a way for you to keep nature safely outside your tent. There might not be any tent that can save you from a rampaging grizzly bear attack. Still, you at least want one that can not just keep the elements off of you but which you can also zip up to keep most animals and insect invaders outside.


Try Setting Up the Tent and Getting Inside It Before You Leave

Returning to what we were saying before, you want to be sure that you can not only set up the tent while outdoors but also that everyone fits inside who’s going on the trip. When you’re out in nature and there’s no chance to go back is not the time to do that.

Once you get your tent, try setting it up in your living room or some other suitable place before you ever take it into the wild with you. That way, you can be sure that you can erect it with no issues. You can also all pile inside of it to see if you’re comfortable or whether you need a larger model.



See What Additional Tools You Need to Set It Up

What additional setup tools you need is one final aspect to keep in mind. Most tents do not require a lot of extra tools for you to set them up. You’ll probably need a mallet or a hammer to pound the tent stakes into the ground, but other than that, the tent should come with everything to get it ready for use.

If it doesn’t, look and see how many extra tools or what other paraphernalia the tent requires to set it up. You might have to carry all of that for several miles, and you don’t want all of it to weigh you down. The best tent is highly portable and doesn’t require lots of extra setup equipment.

Jen Barangan mastered the art of how to say you’re a DDS without saying you’re a DDS

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Jen Barangan called the voices screaming for justice, equal rights, food, shelter, clothing or simply the voices of the marginalized people as ”noise".

Being vocal about political issues isn't a noise. Oppressed, standing up for themselves is not a noise. Being a voice for the oppressed will never be a noise.

Jen Barangan, discrediting people's efforts to be heard screams her privilege, insensitiveness, and her being apathetic.

Thanks for that “official statement” Jen Barangan. Ngayon confirmed na na privileged DDS ka.

Imagine being privileged, apolitical and having no sense of empathy. Yikes!

Oh and the voice of the oppressed and marginalized is NOT JUST A NOISE. Excuse me????

Jen Barangan’s official statement reeks of privilege. imagine calling the cry for change “additional noise” 

Not everyone has the privilege to remain quiet like you, others only have the option to create “additional noise” in order to survive and be heard.

This one’s for you, sit down. 

Jen Barangan said that "she's not a public figure". Gurl you have 2.0M followers on tiktok, like hellooooo??? 

Also, not her saying na she will stay silent kasi if magko-complain pa s'ya about government, additional noises lang. Fyi, the voices of the marginalized aren't noises.

Feeling ko talaga binayaran siya eh. Sobrang dami nang nageeducate sakanya sa tiktok, but she chose to be blind.

Well since nagkaissue siya about it who knows baka updated pa si Roque so she just chose to kiss ass. Minsan talaga pag medyo nadikit lang sa taas nabubulag na.

Konting yuko lang para makita kung ano na yung nangyayari sa nasa ibaba nagkaka-stiff neck na agad.

Kung gugustuhin nya, magagawa nya e. Ilang influencers din nagstitch dun sa mga Videos nya to point out what's wrong pero si ate girl wapakels.

Sinong may link ng una niang sinabi? Meon ba nun sa Twitter? Ang alam ko lang priviliged DDS sya. Sayang sya kung nagkataon mukha naman syang ndi warla unlike Jam Maligno.

To be fair, she was able to clarify something here and that is her not being apolitical but a closeted (not anymore) DDS.

mocha uson > jam magno > jen barangan

It’s the evolution for me.

Listening to Jen Barangan's statements and she still couldn't comprehend how the pandemic and how the incompetence of this government heavily contributed to job loss and poor economic recovery. Sana bago gumawa ng official statement, she could have educated herself more.

Jen Barangan: And yes, there are instances that I don't agree with how they run the country. (But) if I don't have the best idea or I don't have any suggestions on how to resolve certain issues or crises, I'll remain silent and do my part as a good citizen in my own country.

Jen Barangan: Because if I kept on complaining w/o any suggestions on how to resolve those, I will just be an additional noise and our country has enough noises to handle. 

Dear Jen Barangan, educate yourself on the issues. Don't use your clout to tolerate complacency just because you didn't take time to comprehend and to educate yourself a bit more on issues. Public servants are elected to serve the people and fix the issues.

Public servants should not be self-serving and they need to be called out when there is incompetence and corruption. Ang pag-iingay ng mga tao ay senyales na may problema at dapat ito tignan kung ito ay lehitimong reklamo. This should not be taken lightly.

Now, Jen Barangan has been losing followers on Tiktok ever since she posted her video with Harry Roque.

Why's Jen Barangan fan girling over Harry Roque and quoting "not everything is politics?" 

Even the tiniest piece of the rice you ate today involves politics, admit it, you're part of the problem. Lol girl everything is political whether we intentionally link it or not.

It was the fangirling for me.  

If she is claiming innocence, then I will call her out for being privileged, on being not affected by this current admin's shenenigans.

Char.  Not char.

PDEA versus PNP Shootout or Misencounter: Legitimately Crooked?

Wazzup Pilipinas!

"Misencounter" between police and PDEA agents left 2 dead and 4 injured.

Both camps say they were conducting legitimate operation when the shootout happened.

Questions on how the gunfight between law enforcers happened remain unanswered, but both the PNP and the PDEA said they coordinated. 

PNP claims PDEA agents fired first. 

This is something for the books.

PDEA name is self explanatory. PNP cops, including the dead, were in anti-narcotics work. 

BOTH claimed legitimate operations — in the same place, at the same time. 

Ayokong isipin na genius ang target(s) nila. 

It's another misencounter of the fascist state security forces.

Before it was AFP vs PNP.                                now it's PDEA vs PNP.

PNP always involved.

Years past Duterte’s “three to six months” promise, the PNP and PDEA still say they don’t know how to do their job. And take note, they have billions of intelligence funds in their arsenal ah.

Billions of intelligence fund and you will hear this bloody news between PDEA and PNP? 

So PDEA got catfished by PNP in Ever Gotesco? Billions of Intelligence fund with but with tinder-like surveillance. Poor civilians and casualties. Kaka-NPA at red tag niyo yan. Shoot to kill mentality on the roll.

Civilian safety compromised because of a shootout between the PNP & the PDEA. Some officers dead. This is a huge crack in the administration’s continuing attempt to paint the drug problem as the biggest threat to Filipinos— see, corruption & incompetence are deadlier than others.

No full story yet but obviously it is between our beloved two civil-servants in uniform. I feel sorry for the bereaved and the civilians traumatized there but we can talk about coordination, ayt? 

It looks like a Napeñas lead operation all over again. No coordination. Hindi natuto O may pinagtatakpan. Ang intel funds nasaan?

Long story short PDEA performed a legitimate buy-bust operation against drug pushers who also happen to be QCPD police officers.

Things got heated when the undercover PDEA agent revealed themselves to arrest them but the police officer opened fire (out of fear lmao).

During the crossfire, both parties called for back up. But soon PDEA operatives found themselves being outnumbered by QCPD and the tides turned where it ended up that they were ones who were wrangled, forced to face the ground, beaten and finally arrested.

I don't believe that the QCPD had a 'sell-bust' operation lmao. Not only is that illegal constitutionally, but it also doesnt make sense. I feel like they were caught with their pants down and had to scramble for a fucking stupid excuse.

And a stupid excuse it was.

That neighborhood has always been the fucking  turf of the police for years. They even set up a station there.

So this makes it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that drug dealing has been happening in that area for a larger part of a DECADE by the police.

Before police could even conduct a drug bust operation they first have to seek permission and coordination with PDEA. That's standard protocol lmao.

So its so inconcievable that PDEA are in the wrong here. They are the ones who have the papers to show. QCPD do not.

But the QCPD showed  documents showing they did make coordinations with PDEA. And so the plot thickens. 

What is important now is that the truth be known and divulged to the public no matter what. Please do away with narratives that are meant only to sanitize incompetence or corruption of agencies. Sana walang mga Padrino na eepal.

PDEA chief Wilkins Villanueva says an informant died in the shootout between PDEA agents and police personnel on Wednesday. The death toll rises to four – two cops, one PDEA agent, and one informant. 

I think this isn't a misencounter. A govt agency really did encounter a criminal enterprise moonlighting as a government agent.

Reminded by a former government official that prior to 2016, PDEA computerized its coordination mechanism precisely to avoid “misencounters” on the ground since drug enforcement officers of PDEA, PNP, and NBI conducting casing/surveillance that are not in uniform. What happened?

The shootout between PDEA and the PNP manifests how fucked up the drug war is.

We have trigger-happy law enforcers who have no coordination with each other on drug operations despite being part of agencies with the biggest budget allocations. They were victims of their own mess.

We demand the immediate sacking of PNP Chief Debold Sinas and PDEA Director General Wilkins Villanueva. They have full command responsibility on the shootout/misencounter between their units. 

Duterte's dirty drug war, Oplan Tokhang led to this freak misencounter.
