As a matter of interest, just wondering what people do to secure belongings left inside your tent when you leave the tent to go hiking/sightseeing for the day?

Up till now we've only been away for an odd night, but are thinking of going away for a proper holiday and so have only left the tent for an hour or two and not done anything other than zip everything up. Thanks

Lock all your valuables in the car when ever possible, most folk on a site look out for one and others tents but better safe than sorry.

       remember to hide the booze as well!!!

Most people I know do not worry too much as theft from tents is really quite rare.

I generally leave everything in the tent, I have never taken any precautions except for zipping up all the doors. The same with most of my friends who camp. I have not heard of any problems yet!!  We often go out for the day too.

Lock 'em in the car.

Never had a problem, but still lock my stuff (out of sight) in the car.

Never had a problem.  Thing is with a tent if they want to get in they only have to slash the fabric with a knife and they are in so I don't see any point in padlocks.

My bro in law does padlock his trailer, again we have never bothered.
