Choosing a tent!
A good quality tent is a necessity for those who enjoy the great outdoors, and makes all the difference in making your camping experience a pleasant one. Your tent is your home away from home. Being out in nature can be both relaxing and exhilarating. At the end of the day, theres nothing more welcome than coming back to the comfort of your tent.
There is an enormous variety of tents available! Protection from the elements has never been more advanced than it is today. The material that tents are made of is strong and weatherproof yet incredibly lightweight. Tent design is better than ever, too, making the tent easy to assemble, with coded poles and Velcro attachments, and then fold down to compact size for transport. Finding the right tent for you is simple. Tent sizes range from the small one man pup-tent, to tents large enough to accommodate an entire family. Hikers prefer the lightest weight tents. Tents are generally meant for use in spring, summer and fall, but for those wishing to challenge the elements in winter, winter proof tents are available! Designed to withstand high winds and low temperatures, theyre a little heavier than the others, but theyre worth it when it counts.
Another option enjoyed by many people is the tent trailer. Not as bulky or as expensive as a motor home, tent trailers travel well to your destination, then the top can be popped up with relative ease. Regardless of your tent preference, the important thing is that youre prepared for whatever nature sends your way!
