3. Clear the ground, lay out a ground cloth, and help properly set up your tent. Learn to take care of all camping items, including tent zippers, tabs, and stakes.

4. Learn safety when handling stoves, fuel, matches, and fire. Learn how to clear the area around a campfire and when and where it is safe to have a campfire.
