As a "camp host" I've stumbled into a few situation where folks will purchase new equipment and the first time out of the box is when they arrive at their campsite. Somehow, I seem to be a magnet and they are attracted to me to help them out of their difficulty in not knowing how to set the item up or how to use it. Oh well, I consider that part of the camp host job.
Last incident was a 90 year old woman who was mad at her husband and decided to just take off and go camping alone. She purchased a tent along the way and a sleeping bag. When she arrived, she had no clue how to set up the tent. Never opened the box until then.
Gullible me, I saw her from a distance struggling with the tent and offered my help .... bad mistake. It took over an hour, lots of sweat, and working with a product (myself), I'd never seen before. But I got the tent up for her.
So, this is absolutely sound advise ... before actually using any item you intend to use for camping in the field, be sure to set it up and / or use it at the home base first so you know how it operates in the field .... AND you know how to hook up all the parts!
Great advise there dbgard!!!!!!!
