During your trip
Tents	Remove sharp objects from around where you'll be pitching the tent. Keep all flame and heat sources away from the tent, it is made with flame-resistant fabric but is not fireproof. Secure tent with stakes and / or cord so it doesn't blow away. Boots off before you get in a tent. Zip doors all the way up or all the way down to avoid breaking the zippers.
Sleeping bags	It is MANDATORY that supplied liners be used inside every sleeping bag. They help keep the sleeping bag clean and comfortable as well as add an extra 8½°F/4.7°C of insulation. Failure to use the supplied liner will result in your credit card being charged for a cleaning fee.
Backpacks	Animals eat holes in the packs left with food in them. Always carry and store scented items in a bear-resistant canister.
BearVault bear-resistant food canisters	While cooking, avoid putting canister near heat and fire and never place camp stoves on top of canisters. The canisters can melt and warped lids will not close properly.
When you get back Return all items dirt free & dry.
