ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Fly (tent)

A fly tent is like a special covering that you put over your regular tent to help keep you dry when it rains.

Imagine you're building a fort out of blankets. Your regular tent is like the inside part of the fort, where you sleep and keep your things. But when it starts to rain, water might come through the blanket roof and get everything inside wet.

That's where the fly tent comes in! It's like putting a big, waterproof blanket over the top of your fort. This helps keep the rain from getting inside and ruining your fun.

So, when you go camping and there's a chance of rain, make sure you pack your fly tent to stay nice and dry!
