Selecting a Tent
Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car
campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are
a few things to keep in mind:
Expect the Worst
In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to
withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face.
For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where
weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all-purpose tent
will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and
you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in. If
you're a backpacker, alpine climber, or bike explorer, or if you
like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to buy something
designed to handle more adversity.
Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall, and late spring outings, choose a
three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three-season tent will
have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable
st, and a quality rain fly. Some three-season tents offer
more open-air netting and are specifically designed for summer
backpacking or other activities. Many premium tents will also
feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain
fly for enhanced waterproofing.
For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four-season
model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric
coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed
to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of
course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to
20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also
tend to be more expensive.
Domes and Tunnels
Tents are broadly categorized into two types: freestanding,
which can stand up on their own, and tents that must be staked
down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often
incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are
constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the
outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently
stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season
models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel.
These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a
dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floorplan
that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many
one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up
for it by being lighter. Because they use fewer poles, they can
also be quicker to set up than a dome.
Size Matters
Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric
hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check
out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have
your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable
bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake
points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you
don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out
open-air shelters.
Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from
a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your
little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is
available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition
tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier
it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components
among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare
the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're
considering.
