The basic criteria for choosing a camping tent are:Light weight, high pressure resistance, small capacity. Our goal is to leave with the lightest backpack possible. 

Choose your camping tent 

Tents come in a wide variety of shapes, which mainly affect the available space, size and weight, and weatherability. 

What are the types of tent camping? 

There are three main categories of camping tents: Summer Tents 3 or 4 Season Tents Winter tents (or “adventure tents” for purists) If you only camp in the summer, be sure to choose a model with at least 2 mosquito net panels. The aim is to drive away the summer heat and ensure good ventilation. If you plan to camp from early spring to late fall, consider a 3-or 4-season tent. Most tents are three-season tents. They usually have wide grid windows and panels. Their design added several poles in case of snow. During the rainy season, it is best to have a tent with a flying sheet on it, all the way to the ground. These materials are stronger than summer tents, and their overall structure is stronger to withstand a variety of factors. For winter camping enthusiasts, Bruno recommends winter camping tents (rather than 4-season tents, which can be stifling in the summer). Winter tents have no ventilation, and they use stronger poles (usually aluminum) to withstand high winds and snow. Your usual stakes can be difficult to put up in the snow, so grab the tension rope with your trekking pole at the front of the tent and a snow-filled backpack at the back. Use these as weights to make sure your guys wire up and pack plenty of snow on top of them to get a solid mount.

Tent Size & Capacity

size

First, you must determine the average number of people who will live in the tent. The purpose is to meet the space and storage needs of the entire family. In fact, the optimal size of living space is necessarily related to the number of people during the stay. It is always possible to use an awning or vestibule to expand the space. It is generally recommended to consider that a person must have a width of at least 60 cm and a length of 2 meters to feel comfortable.  Who will use your tent?  How many people are going with you and how many are going to share your tent with you?  Knowing these will allow you to narrow down your options and help you decide on the size of your tent and whether you need a 1-person model, or perhaps a 2-person or even a 3-person model!  Remember, the bigger your size, the heavier and bulkier your tent will become. If you’re carrying a tent, I suggest you park in the 2P position or separate the parts of the tent to lighten the load.  You and a friend are planning to go backpacking this summer. Each of you will need to provide space for a regular sleeping mat and a backpack. You’re not camping in extreme conditions, but some of the camps you plan to stay in do get hot. In this case, your best option might be the Midori 2-person tent.  Maybe you have a family of four and you want to take the kids to car camp from time to time during the summer to get them to know about camping. You want a little extra space so people can stand up. (And since kids aren’t always good at minimalist packaging.) A good option for you might be the Copper Canyon LX 4-person tent.

Waterproof

Nature, while beautiful, is also full of surprises-you can never be too sure how the weather will change. One minute it’s sunny and 75 degrees, the next it’s pouring. And this is something you have to be prepared for when camping.  It is very important to pay attention to this factor, because during your stay, regardless of the length of time, you will like to stay dry even in bad weather.  The same standard as the camping tent. The fabric of the tent is considered waterproof when the Schmerber level is at least 1500, but this is more suitable for a classic hike or a week of mountaineering in the summer and spring. A well-waterproof tent ensures that humidity does not seep into the tent and does not cause excessive condensation.  No tent is 100% waterproof, no matter how much manufacturers and advertisers try to convince you. The fabric can only withstand so much water before it lets it through, and how much depends on how it is made waterproof.  The water resistance of a tent fabric is determined by two measurements, in millimeters, called the hydrostatic head. These two numbers are for the bottom of the tent, the part that comes into contact with the ground, and the top of the tent, the part that covers the rest of the tent and your head.  However, there is one more thing to consider, that is, all the places where water can seep in, such as seams and zippers! Make sure the tent you choose is waterproof enough! Make sure that the tent you choose has sealed seams and a zipper cover so that no water can seep in.  

Ground Sheet

A mat is a piece of protective material placed under a tent to protect you from moisture. Your tent will probably have a floor mat, but if not, buy one separately because it can make a big difference. You can also use tarps or what we call footprints to create a larger surface on which to place your tent.  The tent floor is applied to the inside of the tent, on its existing floor. It adds another layer of insulation and protects your tent floor from wear, tear and soiling.  Tent footprints under your tent. This is another way to extend the life of the tent by protecting the bottom of the tent from branches or loose stones on the ground. It also adds a layer between you and the ground, which will provide extra waterproofing and a little bit of insulated warmth.  A sleeping mat can add a little cushioning under you. Not only will it help you have a comfortable resting environment, but it will also provide more insulation between you and the cold ground.

Protective 

This standard is absolutely essential, especially if you are staying for a few days. In the summer, you will appreciate the cool feeling, and in the winter, you will appreciate the warm feeling. Polyester cotton tents have better thermal insulation properties, both cold and heat. Cotton is a very breathable material that will keep you at a comfortable temperature no matter what the weather is outside.  Remember to check the UV resistance of the tent. This will prevent you from experiencing excessive indoor temperatures or aging fabrics. Cotton is an unbeatable material for dealing with the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. Then you can also choose polyester cotton tents, which is still an effective material. Polyester is the least resistant to the sun’s rays. 

Storage and Pockets

The tent has storage space and pockets so you don’t have to turn everything inside out for a flashlight or warm socks. These small add-ons make it easy for you to store everything. You don’t have to look for it at night, it’s very convenient! The size of the storage space varies by model. Of course, the more comfort-oriented the model, the more pockets. 

Aesthetics and Comfort 

COMFORTABLE

The choice of color is more important than you think. In fact, the lighter the color of the tent, the stronger the light inside the tent, even in dark weather.

Of course, it might seem easy to set up. “The box claims it only takes five minutes to set up,” you said. Well, not everyone is a camping expert, and you don’t want to test your camping skills when you’re in the woods with only a few minutes of sunshine left.  Instead, set up a tent in your living room or backyard a few times before going out. Not only will this help you master what goes where, but it will also help speed up the process of setting up your tent so you don’t waste valuable camping time fiddling with tent poles. 

How to stay safe in a tent

AWAY-FIRE

Millions of people camp out safely every year. But like anything else you might do, it’s wise to take a moment to look at safety tips before you set out camping for the first time. Here are a few things to keep in mind:  Research the area you’re camping in, be aware of any risks that may require attention, and pay attention to any signs or park staff you come across. Make sure your tent, clothing and equipment are prepared for the temperature and conditions at the campsite.  If you are in an area where bears may be present, be sure to store food safely. Put it in a special container, hang it on a tree, or put it in your car. Use fresh food first because it smells stronger.  Keep campfires 15 feet away from tent walls, bushes and trees. Bonfires should be small and placed in designated fire pits. If necessary, have water nearby to quickly extinguish it. When you douse the fire, make sure all the embers are thoroughly soaked, not just red. 
It is important to choose a tent that you feel comfortable inside. Also, look for a model that’s easy to build and durable on rough nights.  So start practicing pitching your tent now-there are plenty of adventures out there!
