August 17, 2010How to choose a tent
The tent you bring along with you on a camping trip can either enhance or complicate your experience in the woods. It’s important to take your time in choosing the right tent for you and the expedition you're embarking upon.
In order to make an informed decision when purchasing a tent, it is important to ask yourself the following questions:
• What season/ weather conditions will this tent be used in?
• How many people will be using this tent? Do you want extra room of a 3 person tent to sleep 2 people in a comfortable space? Or you wish to save on weight and sleep in a smaller tent, closer to your “roommate”
• Is weight an issue? Will you be carrying this tent with you every day, by yourself, split the components among the campers or is it more of a base camping trip?
• What is my budget for this purchase?
• How frequently will I be using this tent? You can by a first price tent from a well known supplier for occasional camping, or invest in a technical tent to use every week!

Adventure calls and you dream of leaving, discovering the world. But just a moment! You’re not going to leave without a pack on you back are you? Unless you’re only adventuring to the dépanneur, it would be wise to bring a backpack, even if it’s just to carry water. The greater the adventure, the more you’ll need to bring, which is why big adventures call for big packs. Have you looked at the selection of backpacks available to suit your needs? Good luck choosing one if you haven’t read our little guide on Choosing Your Backpack. Every pack needs to be adjusted for your body, and we will help you do so.
Happy reading,
