Camping Tent Equipment - How To Get It Right!

Hello again from Sunny Spain,

Today I want to talk to you about camping tent equipment and the importance of getting it right!

Purchasing the right camping equipment for your trip is an important factor and cannot be under estimated. Get it right and the trip will run smoothly, and you will enjoy camping for many years to come. Get it wrong and you could have a miserable camping experience. If it´s your first camping trip, it will probably put you off going again.

So; How do we go about buying the right camping tent equipment? There are different factors to consider when purchasing a tent for your trip. Here are some of those points....

1) Style of tent choice

There are many different styles of tent to choose from and there is no right or wrong tent for your camping trip. You need to find one that suits you. The best way to do this is to read reviews, look at camping websites, join forums and ask for advice, people are only too keen to share their camping knowlegdge.

For further information on types and styles of tent then please check out the Outdoor Hiking Equipment Review Store to help you make an informed buying decision.

2) Size of tent

Once you have chosen your preferred style of tent, then you need to look at tent size. Decide how many people you will be sharing the tent with, then add a person or two on for good measure. The reason for this is that tent sizes aren´t very generous. So, with this in mind, a so called "two person tent" will be sufficient for a couple, because you will be sleeping pretty close together and there probably won´t be any room for your camping and trekking gear. If however, you are looking at two seperate people, then you would be better off going for a three person tent. to give you that extra bit of room.

Having said all this, it also boils down to weight and size the tent. Also you will need to think about how much room you have allowed for your tent storage, because the bigger the tent, the more storage space you are going to need. So size really does matter!

3) Cost

Tents can vary in price immensely, ranging anywhere from $30.00 up to well over $1000.00. So one of the best ways to guage how much to spend, is to spend as much as you can for the type of tent that you want. What you should be thinking about, is that a tent is a long term investment, that should see you through 5-10 seasons of camping. So you want camping tent equipment that is going to last. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to tents so spend as much as you can afford.
