You’ve seen them…they’re lined up outside in long lines waiting for the new iPhone, or Xbox or even concert tickers. They show up days in advance so they can be first in line. The last time I saw that I said to myself, “what nuts!” they’re in lawn chairs and sleeping bags. If you gonna do this, do it right, with comfort! So, for all you fans that want to be first in line, here’s some Camping Guy tips on how to make it enjoyable.

Shelter
You need something that you can immediately fold up and stow away so that if you’re asked to leave the line or if it suddenly begins to move, you’re not left in the cold dragging your belongings. A small pop-up tent is the easy answer. They’re easy to fold and unfold and they’re very light. So if the line moves, your shelter can, too

Comfort
A pop-up tent is convenient and light but the sidewalk is very hard! So get a camping pad or camping mattress, as they’re called, to keep your body comfortable, away from the cold ground and cramp free. Also, take a sleeping bag, pillow, and comfortable chair so you can sleep a little….sit a little, and not get totally bored.
