Camping Lovers Guide

So you've decided to go camping. You've check out the camp sites that are accredited by the ACA or American Camping Association and KOA or Kampgrounds of America. Now you need to decide how much you want to rough it. Are you staying in an RV, or a pop up camper? Perhaps you're pulling a travel trailer. Much too luxe for you, you say. You're a real man and all you need is a sleeping bag and a tent.

Choosing a tent for camping is the first task for any camping trip. What type of weather conditions are you expecting? Always be prepared for the worst, rain, wind, and cold. There are three season and four season tents available. Four season tents are heavier than three season tents. They tend to have more poles than three season tents to help them withstand wind and snow fall. Of course, most of us are fair weather campers. A three season tent will be fine for us. So, now, what style of tent do you want?

Why I practice bushcraft & survival

I'm a keen camper, but I'm certainly not as hardy as the likes of Ray Mears or Bear Grylls. For me it's fair weather all the way.

But a few of my tougher camping buddies were discussing what they would need, as a minimum, in order to spend a few nights outdoors at this time of year in the UK (its springtime and still very cold at night).

We concluded that the bare essentials would consist of shelter, somewhere warm to sleep and the means to create fire and find food and water. So the outcome of the beer fuelled conversation has been the challenge for us to spend two days and nights surviving and sleeping outdoors.

An important element of an enjoyable camping experience is having the right family tent. Camping is fun and exciting, but using the wrong tent can dampen the whole experience.

There are some questions that you should ask yourself to ensure that you choose the perfect tent for both you and your family.

First of all, the most important question to answer is how many people will be using the tent? This will determine the right size and style that you need.

You might want to consider purchasing a tent slightly bigger than you need. For example, if you need a tent for 3, consider buying a 4 person tent. That way you should have plenty of room for everyone.

What kind of conditions should the tent be able to handle? Will you camp in the summer? Spring and summer? Or are you going to camp year round? You want to purchase a tent that can handle the various conditions you're likely to encounter.
