Tips and Tricks

Choose the right size tent. Your tent should be big enough to comfortably accommodate all of your gear and people, but not so big that it's difficult to set up or carry.

Consider the weight of your tent. If you're backpacking, you'll want a tent that's as lightweight as possible.

Make sure your tent is waterproof. You don't want to be caught in a rainstorm with a leaky tent!

Set up your tent properly. A properly set up tent will be more wind-resistant and rain-resistant.

Store your tent properly. When you're not using your tent, store it in a dry, well-ventilated place.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Buying a tent that's too small. A tent that's too small will be cramped and uncomfortable.

Buying a tent that's too heavy. A tent that's too heavy will be difficult to carry, especially if you're backpacking.

Not waterproofing your tent. A non-waterproof tent will leak in the rain, which can make your camping trip miserable.

Not setting up your tent properly. A tent that's not set up properly will be more likely to collapse in the wind or leak in the rain.

Not storing your tent properly. A tent that's not stored properly will be more likely to mildew or tear.

Advanced Features

Double-layer construction. This type of construction creates a waterproof barrier between the outer and inner layers of the tent.

Vestibule. A vestibule is a covered area outside the door of the tent. It's a great place to store gear, cook, or change clothes.

Rain fly. A rain fly is a waterproof cover that goes over the tent. It protects the tent from rain, snow, and wind.

Ventilation. Good ventilation is important to prevent condensation from building up inside the tent.

Pockets and gear loops. Pockets and gear loops provide convenient storage for small items.
