For the hiking trip dad bought us a new tent, but my
hiking boots have seen better days, thus I could also have used new hiking boots.
We used the tent for our weekend trip and now it looks dirty. It is full of
soil, dirt and leaves. And that what makes dad`s order seems understandable; he
asked us all to do some tent washing so the tent will be clean to be used for
our next hiking trip. So, we will go camping again next month? I can`t be
happier than that!
Why
tent care is important?
Well, dad is truly a persuasive person. He doesn`t
yelled at us to do the cleaning and washing; he use the words ‘we will go hiking
again next month’ instead so we can`t whine to do the chore because he
absolutely know I and my sister really like going hiking, and camping. So, why are
tent care treatments important? Here`s what dad said about it.
·
It will make our tent
look gorgeous again
·
The tent will be clean
with no bacteria or mold that can cause us sick
·
It will make the tent
long lasting
So,
it`s time to do some chores
Dad brought the tent to our balcony. He set the tent
up on our apartment`s balcony and handed us sponge, glove and boot. Time to
break a leg I think. Mom sprays the water on it and we start to scrub the
soiled area all over the tent with the sponge. After all areas are clean, dad
rubs kind of non-detergent soap on it and we scrub again for the second time.
This time is more fun because we got bubbles. Yeah!
After that, mom sprays the water all over our tent
to rinse it thoroughly. Don`t worry, we won`t make neighbor`s balcony wet
because we have sort of own water installment that will make the water on our
balcony goes to building`s water waste tank. After that we let the tent dry by
the sun while we have some delicious cheese cookies from mom. I don`t like to
do chores actually but since we will go camping again, I am willing to make
this tent beautiful again so we can bring it next month.
Camping is really fun activity. You have to trust
me. If you haven`t gone camping in your live, then you should ask your parents
to go on a hiking trip. But remember, you need a decent pair of hiking boots
for safe walking in the wilds. If you can’t go camping in the wild then make
pretend and set up the tent in your backyard, it will be cool, too. Happy
camping!
