How to Buy a Camping Tent


If you want to enjoy a more comfortable camping trip, a camping tent is a must-have no matter you are camping with car with all things in it or camping in backcountry. A camping tent is more than a home-away-from-home.

1 Figure out what kind of tent you need
If you can’t decide which one to buy, ask yourself some questions which mw help, such as when will I have my camping, summer or winter?  Will I need some expedition tent? How many people will be sharing the marquee? The tent ratings usually assume a snug fit, so if you need more personal space, size up by a "person. If you want a lighter packing, consider single-walled tents. Tent capacity, price, or weight should be taken into consideration. It is also important to stake your camping tent to withstand high winds and other wet weather.

2 Make your budget on the camping tent. Maximum budget for you and whether you will stick to it will make some influence on the purchase of it. If your budget is tight, you can get some marquee for sale on the internet, such as quitents.co.uk. They often offer camping tents in good quality at the beat price.

3 Know exactly how to set up a camping tent. Practice setting the marquee up before you buy it--most stores will allow you to do this, or at least have a sample tent set up so you can see what it looks like fully erect. Ask suggestions on how to set tent up on other occasion, such as in the dark, rain, wind and/or snow. 5 minutes or less is ideal for you to manage this task.

4 Bring the suitable backpack which is bog enough to handle the tent. If you are not sure the capacity of your bag, take it with you to the store where you will buy the camping tent to see how well it fits in your backpack. Of course, you can divide the parts of the tent to your partners if you have some as you have to leave some space for other camping stuff.

5 choose the better one that suits your priorities if it doesn’t surpass your budge too much. Either a good camping tent or a bad one will be used for a quite long time, I’m sure you won’t want to be annoyed buy it for the quite long time. So although you should think about the budget, try your best to get the better one.
