In today’s world it seems that “minimalizing” is what we should all be doing and in many cases this is probably true. With camping tents and backpackers this might be true; you don’t want to hike up a mountain with a 70lb cabin tent on your back!  However, a lot of campers just enjoy car camping. They can drive up to their campsite, pull out all of their gear without having to hike very far to their site. So the question is, are smaller or larger camping tents better when you don’t have to carry your tent very far?
My answer is that a larger tent, especially something like a cabin tent with multiple rooms like the Coleman Vacationer, can have a lot more benefits than the… Continue reading

Buying cheap tents isn’t always as easy as it sounds.  You want to make sure you understand the basic parts of a camping tent and how they affect you.  Here are just a few terms to get you started.

Backpacking Tent-  People who know they will be doing a lot of hiking and backpacking want a lighter tent.  They don’t want to be lugging around a 40 pound tent on long hikes.  So they prefer something ultralight that will provide some privacy and protect them from the elements.  These are usually made smaller than other tents.  So buying only a two man for two people could be very snug!  Unless you don’t mind opting for a three man tent or one higher than the amount of… Continue reading

Tents are a basic and important part of the camping experience and the outdoor life.  Although they are not completely necessary they can make a camping experience much more comfortable and allow privacy in busy campsites.  On one backpacking trip I learned just how much I valued tents and the shelter they provide.  The group I was with decided we didn’t need a tent so that our backpacks could be lighter.  It is something we ended up regretting when we woke up with a bear standing over us!  I’ve also camped in wet and rainy weather and was happy to have something keeping the water out.

The number one concern for most campers is finding cheap tents or in, other words, a high quality tent at a low price.  … Continue reading
