What do you pay attention to the selection of tents?
A tent is home for campers. When the day after Laughton, in the barren hills or the vast desert, sleeping in a small tent you isolated quiet space, you will feel that no matter how bad the outside environment in the tent is always terrible, safe and warm.
In the past few years, the supporting rod tent from aluminum rod evolution cannot be bent become collapsible aluminum rod or lighter fiberglass rod, only a few large family tents, still use old aluminum rod as support. The new type of support rod can be used simply to pull it out when it is used, rather than requiring assembly work like an old support rod. When not in use, they can also fold closer to take up less space. There are still some arguments about the merits of glass and aluminium. FRP is lighter, more strength and cheaper than aluminum, and it folds more tightly. However, the main problem of FRP is that its brittleness is greater, and it is easy to crack under the influence of different weather conditions. The cracked FRP poles can not be repaired and must be replaced completely. The aluminum products are easy to repair, small fault does not affect the use of the paste, and it can just replace the damaged part.
Most of the tents are made of different kinds of nylon materials, which have relatively high strength, but are light in weight, about 2 pounds per square meter. Some of the heavier tents are made of multi lipid coating or made of cotton canvas, much heavier. The bottom and wings of the tent are painted with waterproof coating for moisture proof and rainproof. The tent is usually will have some not waterproof treatment place to air circulation, breathing out out of the water, to prevent water vapor condensation in the sleeping bag and moisture-proof pad below.
This is a very important but often overlooked problem. On a hot night, nothing is worse than living in a suffocating, airless tent. But sometimes there will be some contradiction between the characteristics of ventilation and tightness, so if you are going to a cold place, you can not take into account the characteristics of ventilation. Most of the tents for three seasons from spring to autumn, they take into account ventilation, pest control and heat preservation; and a tent is all made of net, the net is opaque, it is extremely suitable for use in the summer and warm and humid area.
If you go to a cold place and you might want to prepare dinner in your tent, you need a tent with a special vent. A little hot coffee or instant noodles can make you feel comfortable, but if you use a stove in your tent, there's plenty of room in the tent to keep it safe.The weight when buying a tent, don't forget that you have to take the tent you go camping site. If you're driving, it means that you can live comfortably, because you can bring more big tent; but if the tent to North at the shoulders all day, so the weight problem will become a major problem. Carrying a tent that is overweight and more than necessary can only cause misery for the journey, and some family homes may even weigh more than 30 pounds.
