How, if possible, do you keep your tent fresh?

[Stokesy10]

People joke about crapping in tents but there is a thread knocking around here in the archives somewhere where a whole bunch of people were confessing to crapping in their tent rather than use the toilets. Shitting in bags and boxes and pringle tubes if I remember correctly. Utterly vile.

Oh man that is absolutely rough! There's no way you wouldn't heave, even if you weren't breathing out your nose! How the f*** are they meant to shit in a Pringles tube or a bag and piss at the same time (assuming they do whilst shitting)?

Worst/best I've ever done at Glasto is when we were up in the viewing area behind the Park really late on night when I suddenly needed an instant poo. I had some toilet roll in my shoulder bag but knew I had no chance getting to a bog, so I went to some woods (if you're looking down the hill, and you're sat really far back, imagine turning left and going straight till you get to some wooded area) and I had no choice but to shite there. I felt like a bit of a scrut, but to be fair it was incredibly satisfying.

It might still be there, you're welcome to go and take a peak. I'll put the coordinates on here on the Wednesday night. Nice one.

Shake 'n' Vac, it put's the freshness back.

OH right

I'm puzzled by the lemon idea... Are you slicing open the lemon or just throwing it in there whole?

Not sure i fancy a 5 day old lemon withering in my tent attracting invertibrates!

I'm pleased you asked this - curious to find out the answer.

Oh yeah was no joke at all, people do it with very little shame see it as much better than having to use a loo seat someone else might have polluted with their less pristine arse

If you ever attend a hot year and camp near someone who shits in their tent (or worse a group who erect a tent specifically for the purpose) you soon get to hate the people who do this.

I find the best way to keep a tent clean and tidy, is not shit in it. Hope that helps.

Definitely going to go have a hunt for the booty. Will check back here on the Wednesday night for the treasure map. Cheers!

Carrier & bin bags for worn clothes

Keep rubbish in bags in the porch (ready to put in the bins!!)

Keep wellies/shoes in the porch.

Have a quick baby wipe wash before bed & either get undressed or keep clothes specifically for sleeping in.

A wash before bed? I'm lucky if I remember to get undressed for bed.

[Glastosmile15]

It's just me sleeping in it so I'm not really fussed......I don't get the question anyway not as if it's hard to air a tent out.....do a few to many beer farts...simply open the door for 5 minutes....that's what tents are isn't it? Not as if we're talking an escape proof locked room here haha

Washing before bed at glasto, what sort of madness is that, I'm lucky if I can manage to swig down my wobblys the state I'm in

[Spindles]

Heh, I don't even get undressed...just clamber in me sleeping bag, pull any clothes around on top of me for extra warmth and then crash...wake up in the morning sweating, clear it all off and get my morning cooling routing sorted before going back to sleep.

I'm being slightly disingenuous when I say I don't remember to get undressed. I take pyjamas and there are times when I wake up in some unholy mixture of pyjamas and normal clothes. The tights + pyjama trouser combo is particularly grim once the sun hits the tent.

I have some of those cleaning wipes dettol / flash etc... use those to give the porch a wipe out every now and again.

Especially if the tights are over your head like a bank robber.

Nah, at least they are easier to remove. And you might have some gold bullion.

Quite genuinely though I remember sweaty nasty years, and those with bonus mud collateral damage - don't forget you can wash your clothes. borrow a tub or wait for queueless sinks if needs must and a bit of soap and water and a hang over a guyrope can cure a multitude of ills
