Basics to Know About Camping Tents
from: TRBIf you still picture camping tents as being made of canvas and requiring a good bit of pole setting and staking, you are in for a surprise when it comes to the camping tents that you can readily find today. From cocoon-like miniature tents that are just big enough for a sleeping bag to large room-sized tents that can fit a whole family, the kind of tent that you select depends on the kind of camping that you plan on doing.
Start by considering where and when you plan to use your tent. Many tents are rated by the number of seasons that they are designed to withstand. For example, four season tents are those that are more durable, wind and cold resistant so that they can be used in severe winter conditions. Other camping tents may be rated as three seasons, meaning that they are not best for use in severe cold. Read the information provided by the manufacturer in the product description to determine what weather conditions it is designed for.
You will find a wide variety in the sizes and types of features that are available. If you are a single traveller or are camping with someone that you don't mind sharing tight quarters with so you can carry as light a load as possible, consider the bivouac type of camping tents. These are simple, cocoon type shelters that basically provide an extra layer of protection by creating a sheath that is a few inches away from the sleeping bag.
For those who would prefer more elbow room, more traditional tents start at a size meant for one person and continue up to a room sized tent that is large enough for a family. For the smaller to medium camping tents, many of them are "pop-up." They unfold to their assembled shape, making them very easy to set up. The larger the tent that you select, the more assembly that will be required at the site.
You will find numerous other features available from color to material and design. The variety is nearly endless. You can find a basic camping tents with no frills, or you can get ones that have windows and skylights and even rooms within the tent. Of course, with the variety comes a huge range of prices and weights as well.
