What principles should be followed in the selection of camping tents?

As one of the most important items in camping, camping tents must have many questions for camping beginners, facing the many types of tents on the market.

Camping tents are our temporary homes outdoors. When choosing a camping tent, the first thing we have to consider is how to bring it, whether it is a backpacker or self-driving. If it is a backpacker, it should be selected according to the number of people, that is, one person. Choose a single-person tent if you live, or a two-person tent if you live in two, and the tent should be light.

The other is the form of self-driving or non-backpackers. In this case, we give priority to large tents when buying tents. For example, if one person lives, choose a double tent, if two people live, choose a 3-5 person tent. Family camping, then choose a large tent with about 8 people. Outdoors, the camping tent is not only a shelter from the wind and rain, it is also our temporary home, and the larger the space, the more comfortable the accommodation.

For those who have strict requirements for sleep, they will also bring the camping bed to the tent. The camp they choose at this time is the big tent. The space inside the big tent is generally very large, and it is completely a mini room.

Choice of camping tent styles:

At present, we can find various styles of camping tents on the Internet, including spires, square tops, domes, etc. Dome camping tents are the most popular camping tents at the moment. Generally, tents with double tents and 3-5 people are basically round. The top, the space is relatively large, and the price is very high.

Are our camping tents really the lighter the better?

Generally speaking, only backpackers will pay special attention to the weight of camping tents, because lighter weight can reduce the weight of the backpack. Here you need to see whether the tent is a brand, followed by the price, and the selection of materials. The brand is the guarantee of quality. The high-priced ones are basically made of high-quality materials, which are relatively lighter. In fact, the price of camping tents with a little lighter quality will definitely be much higher. It is common to be 2-3 times more expensive than ordinary tents, but they are only a few hundred grams lighter, although they look lighter. A little bit, but for hiking, there is often a lot of equipment in a backpack. If you choose the lightest of everything, the weight of the overall backpack will be reduced by about 1-5 pounds. If you are driving and camping, then basically you don’t need to consider the weight problem, you can choose how to live comfortably.

Do camping tents have to have a front room?

This depends on what kind of camping tent you choose. If it is a single or double tent, it doesn’t matter whether you have it or not, because it is not very useful, even if you bring it, it will not be used much, but the big tent is still worth having because Its foyer is generally large and can be used to cool off during the day. If your tent does not have a foyer, you can use a canopy instead. I think the canopy effect will be higher, the shading area will be larger, and it can also be weatherproof.

Rainproof effect

If the place where you are camping often rains heavily and there is a strong wind, then when buying a camping tent, you must consider the impact resistance of the tent, whether it has a windproof rope, the waterproof index of the outer tent, etc. If the waterproof index is 2000-3000mm, Anything above 3000mm can be used.

The above are the principles of buying camping tents. If you are interested in camping tents, please pay attention to our website.
