THE BRZZY GUIDE · CAMP
Camp under the right sky.
A campsite is a bedroom with no roof and strong opinions about drainage. Pick the weekend with the forecast, not with hope.
Read it before you pack it.
The overnight low decides everything
Check the overnight low first and pack your sleep system for ten degrees colder than forecast.
Stable beats exciting
A high-pressure weekend with boring weather is the dream. Boring is the feature.
Wind ruins more trips than rain
Sustained 25-plus mph winds turn tents into drums and sleep into a rumor.
The dew point is your morning preview
When dew point sits close to the overnight low, expect everything soaked by dawn.
Never camp in the dip
Pitch on high ground, away from dry washes. Flash floods do not check if anyone is sleeping there.
Watch it arrive
Look west the evening before. A wall of cloud on the horizon is tomorrow’s forecast arriving early.
Rain happens. Suffering is optional.
A wet trip is a gear problem, not a weather problem. Pack the rain fly, the tarp, and the attitude.
Camp questions, answered.
