Tents
The great outdoors beckons. With a little protection from the elements, you’ll be able to enjoy any camping trip or activity. Selecting the right tent will determine the warmth, comfort and weight of your journey, among other things. But most importantly, a good tent ensures a peaceful night’s rest no matter where you decide to settle. Tents range in size, price, durability and appearance. Lightweight tents are more expensive than their heavier, bulky counterparts, but they're ideal for backpacking trips, where weight is a priority. An 8-man tunnel tent can support a large group or family, with room for individual cots, tables and luggage.
What are the Different Types of Tents?
For years tents were seen as a complicated mess of rods, cords and stakes. They were cumbersome, taking up room that could otherwise be used for food and other essential items. However, recent improvements in technology have made tents easy to carry and deploy, taking no more than a few minutes to set up correctly. • Basic Ridge tents are small tents, usually constructed for 1-2 people. They look the most like a traditional tent, offering reliable protection but with limited headspace to move around. • Dome tents are very common, coming in a range of sizes that can fit 4+ people. • Geodesic tents combat the extreme weather conditions, particularly windy environments and are the perfect alternative where most tents won’t suffice. Each pole crosses over the tent to form triangles, distributing stress across the whole structure for optimal stability. • Instant quick-pitch tents are relatively new. Rather than assembling rods and threading them through a tent, quick-pitch tents consist of the single coiled frame running through the body of the tent. When unstrapped, the tent automatically unfolds. • Tunnel tents are the most common type of family tent and are ideal for large groups of people. Particular tunnel tents include 15-man tent models for large excursions. • Vis-à-vis tents are comprised of the main chamber and two adjoining rooms that face each other, hence the name “face-to-face.” • Large family tents range from odd-sized dome tents to big tents and compartmentalised teepees. While offering room for large groups of people, family tents aren’t suitable for windy conditions.
What to Look for in a Tent:
A new tent can be a significant investment. Take the time to research specific aspects of tents that may become a hindrance later. This includes whether the tent can breathe so that moisture doesn’t get trapped inside, while still keeping bugs at bay. Zippers should glide smoothly, and rods and supports should be durable. When purchasing a tent, consider the amount of space you require. A cabin or dome style tent may provide more room to manoeuvre and allow you to sit upright or stand. If privacy is a concern, tunnel tents and family tents offer separate rooms with flaps. For easier setups, consider the pole structure. Fewer poles make setup faster, while some tents have built-in clips that attach to each pole, rather than having to slide them through the fabric.
How to Choose a Tent?
• Decide how you’ll be using your new tent. Is it for weekend camping excursions with the whole family, or are you taking long solo treks with limited gear? • Consider the space of your tent. Larger tents not only fit more people but also allow you to store valuables such as shoes and backpacks. The downside is that larger tents tend to cost and weigh much more. • 3-season tents are lightweight tents designed for spring, summer and fall. They can withstand light rain while keeping insects out but aren’t ideal for heavy downpours. • 4-season tents can withstand harsh conditions such as heavy snowfall and powerful winds. Due to their construction, they provide more warmth than 3-season tents.
