Venting And Tenting

Camping in a tent is a great way to experience the great outdoors, but once you’re inside a zipped up tent, you are actually in a very confined space. If you use fuel-burning equipment like lanterns, cook stoves or portable heaters in a confined space without adequate ventilation, carbon monoxide can build up very quickly with disastrous consequences. Also make sure that this equipment is approved for use indoors. Never use a barbecue inside a tent.

Always be safe…remember to ventilate. Open tent flaps on opposite sides of your tent to generate the necessary cross ventilation that will supply plenty of fresh air.
