Choosing the Best Discount Tents For You

admin — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 06:00:59 +0000

When it comes to choosing discount tents and finding the best ones for you, it may not be as straightforward as you want it to be.

You need to consider a few things first, especially if its your first time purchasing a tent.

You need to decide how many people will be housed inside the tent, then look at the tent that fits one or two more people, so you can fit equipment and for emergencies.

Tents are also made for different seasons and climates, so you need to think about when you are most likely to use your purchased discount tents. Some tents are designed to withstand strong winds, some keep you cool in the hot sun, some protect from heavy rain or keep you warm in the winter, some combine manufacturing processes to protect you from some or all of the natural elements.

If you’re expecting strong winds, then a tent with a strong skeleton, that is aerodynamic and has multiple tie downs would be a good choice of tent. This also would be a good choice if you’re heading out into the snow, especially if you add bright colours to the tent (for visiblity), extra room for cooking and storage, and multiple vents and exits just incase you get buried in a winter storm. You would also want waterproof floors to protect you & your gear from the melting snow.

Tents that set up quick and keep you dry would be exceptional in places where it rains frequently, but make sure it has adequate ventilation, you may be spending a bit of time inside the tent, so you’ll want to be able to breathe easy.

Bright coloured tents not only increase visiblity (which is great if you get lost) but protect you from the heat of the sun if you’re out in the open. To protect yourself from the sun with tents only use fabrics that are resistant to ultraviolet rays.

Weight is an important factor too, think …“How far am I going to have to carry this tent.”… If you’re a hiker then even a small increase in weight can impact on your trip in a large way. Having said that, the tent that houses you and keeps you protected from the natural elements thrown at you on your journey is far more important than weight itself.

These are by far the most important things to consider when you’re purchasing discount tents. Choose well and you’re holidays, expeditions and journeys will be more enjoyable from the outset.

What do I need to know about buying a camping tent?

admin — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 20:28:59 +0000

I have been shopping for an approximately 10×10 camping tent for car camping (not backpacking). I have looked online at REI, Campmor, EMS, Sierra Trading… and in the store at Walmart and Dick’s Sporting goods. I’ve compared features so I know what’s typically available. I’m trying to find out why there is such a huge variance in prices… what is the value of a $200 tent vs. an $80 one with nearly the same features. (is it the material?) I’m looking for other people’s advice and experiences!

You may have stumbled across clever signs from camping stores claiming “Now is the winter of our discount tents“, as they tried to ship out there old stock to make way for the new line of tents and camping equipment for the summer. I thought these were very clever and look forward to seeing “Now is the summer of our discount tents!” signs popping up at the very same shops. With the recession biting in, more and more people are looking for the cheaper opportunities for holidays and camping and hiking is becoming, once again, a good affordable option for the family. Reports from the southern hemi-sphere summer show that campgrounds and areas for camping had a major resurgence in patronage over their traditional summer break and I’m sure the northern hemi-sphere will show similar results. There is going to be the families that have never been camping before and if you’re one of them I suggest reading up on same great beginner camping tips from this website. Then peruse some of the fantastic discount tents available from Amazon.

Leftover Discount Tents

admin — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 06:00:59 +0000

Ever wonder what happens to all the left over camping gear from big music festivals? Is there an opportunity to pick up discount tents? Well it seems so…. Every music festival is different, some focusing on eco-friendly, zero-waste management, whilst some are just come one, come all, enjoy, indulge then go home please! But, they all have one thing in common, lots of stuff left behind, and that includes a multitude of tents.

You may think “they’re not discount tents, they’re just freebies left behind by some idiot..” even so, some of those idiots probably bought a nice high quality tent and then forgot where it was and left without it. It seems a shame to have something so useful go to waste. If you hear of a festival in your area, there might be a good opportunity to pick up a decent tent for a 100% discount price … zero … and you’ll be helping save the planet with a bit of zero-waste management.

Some of the festival organizers already have policies in place and have teamed up with projects like Give Me Shelter to collect abandoned equipment and redistribute it to those in need.
