Tents
A roof that is also a sign
Short answer
They hold gear. They look like someone is home. Camo helps until it doesn't.
Also: tent
How it works
Tents place and pack. They are visible. Medium tents are a billboard.
What to do
Bush, not a hill. Stream-safe.
Don't
Don't pitch one in Elektro as a shop.
