Going camping? Here’s how to figure out what type of Tent to Buy

As more and more of us are being forced to spend more time in our homes, it’s easier than ever to start dreaming of holidays and spending time in the great outdoors. Camping is a particularly dreamy idea right now. After all, who wouldn’t want to be gazing up at the stars in the middle of a forest instead of being stuck inside the house all day?

When it comes to camping, there’s a few essential products that it’s important to splurge on.

For example, tents, sleeping bags, and cookers. There are so many sporting retailers nowadays that it can be difficult to find the best products in these categories, however. How on Earth can you find the best camping products for you online?

That’s what we’re going to be taking a look at today. More specifically, we’re going to be taking a look in this blog post about how to find the perfect tent- covering every element from price and portability, to shop reviews and weather resistance.

Consider how many people are going with you

One of the most important things to do to pick out a great tent for your trip is to consider how many people are going to be using it, as noted in this handy Gear Junkie article.

Are you going to be going camping by yourself? Taking a loved one with you? Hosting a 10-person rager up on the mountain? This will determine what style of tent you need, and how big it actually needs to be. 

Think about the location you’ll be camping in

Another important thing to consider is the location that you’re going to be camping in. Are you going to be in a campsite where there are pre-designated lots and tools, or a forest where there is rough terrain and are no pegs in the ground? This will help to determine what type of tent you need, and help you to plan what other tools to pack as well.

Think about how you’re going to use your tent

It’s also important to consider how you’re going to use your tent. Are you going to be hanging out in your tent? Do you want a privacy tent-like these great ones, or a tent with different built-in rooms? This will help to bring you towards the perfect product for you.

Pick the right complexity level

Complexity level in this context simply means considering how difficult the tent will be to set up and use. Are you going to be traveling by yourself? If so, it’s wise to opt for a tent that can be set up easily by one person. On the other hand, if you’re traveling in a group then it’s not a problem if you opt for a tent that requires multiple people to set up.

Look up the weather forecast

Considering the weather is another important part of shopping for a tent. Are you going to be going on a trip when it’s sunny and hot, or during a particularly rainy season? This is going to affect the types of materials that your tent is going to need to be made of.

If you’re not sure about whether your chosen tent is suitable for the rain, for example, make sure to check out customer reviews and product descriptions. These two places are the best sources of information that you’ll find online when shopping.

Remember to consider portability

A final point to think about when shopping for a tent is portability and ease of movement. Are you going to be able to move it around by yourself? Will it fit into your car without issue? Remember to always read the measurements of your chosen product before you buy it.

 To sum up

As you can see, the key to finding a great tent for your next camping excursion is to spend a good amount of time researching. It may not be the most fascinating part of shopping for online products, but it certainly is one of the most important. Researching your chosen tent beforehand will prevent any unnecessary hassle in the future.
