Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.

If you go for a tent, first don't forget the tent pegs, and then it's always comfortable having a tiny mallet to plant them, rather than using a rock or your bare hands.
Once I forgot a mallet and I drove them in with a frying pan. I never forgot them again.
Find a -soft, dry- spot for the tent. And pound the pegs in first, then the rest of the tent goes up more easily.
Oh ... and if it's -really- cold out, put a handwarmer, or two, in the toe of the sleeping bag. (Good to well-below zero F)
Depends on the tent. Some stakes first some last. Dome tents stakes last, most everything else first
flat is a lot more important than soft
If the ground is super fucked and you're car camping, an impact and some long ass lags also works a treat.
You can also take off your shoe and use that
We had a roofing hammer. Half hammer, half handaxe
