Let Me Slip Into A Dry...

Keep it dry. 'What?' you may ask. Everything! If you're expecting any precipitation keep your sleeping gear, tent floor, and clothing dry. If you think you may be venturing out into the unfortunate (or fortunate) weather to play in some snow, either protect the clothing you're wearing with water proofing material such as Goretex or simply pack extra clothes for when you return to camp.

When you're just sitting around in the site, you don't want to be there in wet clothes because you'll never get warm if it's cold out. This makes camping not so fun.
