One of the biggest downers of any trip is to find out that you left something behind just when you're at the point where it's too far ahead to turn back. It's especially frustrating with outdoor trips because you don't have hotel personnel to bring up substitutes for things you left behind. To avoid this kind of frustration, check if all your stuff is working properly before packing. After that, do another check to see if you've packed everything you need for your trip. 

Make Sure Your Tent Works

If you're going camping, you'll be using a tent that will be your home away from home during the trip. It's the most important thing you'll be bringing so better give it your fullest attention. Make sure that the tent works and that all of the pieces are together before leaving home. The last thing you want is to arrive at your site and then find out that you are missing a pole or that your tent has a hole in it.

Check Your Tent For Defects

The best thing you can do to ensure the quality of your tent is to set it up for testing purposes before your trip. If it's defective, you have time to exchange it for something that properly works, or repair the damages if an exchange is not possible. Afterwords, you can proceed to packing the tent, taking care to group poles and pegs together in one bag in order not to lose one. If you have more time, you can even label what pegs go to which holes so you don't have to grope blindly when you need to set up the tent on-site.

Be Sure To Pack Needle & Thread

During the trip, your tent may meet unexpected damages like tearing, for instance. Prepare for this possibility by bringing a sewing kit and small pieces of tarp. If the situation calls for it, you can fix the tear with a quick patch.
