Outdoor travel bags play an important role in keeping tenting gear organized and protected during road trips, backpacking excursions and weekend camping adventures. Choose a travel bag with durable construction, secure closures and enough capacity for tent poles, stakes, guylines, footprints and rain flies. Separate damp tent fabric from clothing, sleeping bags and other dry equipment whenever possible, and use a waterproof stuff sack or sealed storage bag for items that must stay dry. A well-organized camping bag also makes it easier to find essential gear during tent setup, especially in changing weather. For tent waterproofing, pack a groundsheet, rain fly, seam sealer and tent repair supplies in an easily accessible outdoor travel bag rather than burying them beneath larger items. After a rainy trip, remove the tent from its travel bag as soon as possible and spread it out to dry completely before long-term storage; storing wet fabric can lead to mildew and unpleasant odors. Travel bags are best used for transport and organization, while a dry, ventilated storage space helps preserve the tent fabric, waterproof coating and overall performance between camping trips.
