Sports and Camping Tents to Keep Warm and Dry
If you're planning on a trip to a colder climate to do some
camping you're going to want to buy a tent for your cold camping
nights that will keep you warm and dry. When you camp in colder
climates you'll need to have tents that can withstand the
harsher climate of the north. When you're choosing what type of
a tent to buy there are certain criteria that you'll need to
base your decision on. Some of the things that you'll need to
consider are how many people will be using the tent, will you be
using the tent just for sleeping or for sleeping and cooking,
what time of the year that you're going to be traveling, and how
long you'll be staying on your camping trip. Once you have the
answers to these questions you can narrow down your search for
the right tent for you.
There are two different types of tents that you can choose from:
tents that supported by poles and tents that are considered to
be free standing. Tents that are supported by poles will also
need to have ropes on the outside of the tent that harness the
tent to the pegs set into the ground to help
support the poles.
If you're traveling to the Arctic to do some camping you might
want to choose a pole tent such as the Labrador tents, which are
durable and reliable in the northern climate. Tents that are
considered to be free standing have a frame that is sturdier
than pole tents. Even though these tents are completely free
standing you might find that winds in a northern climate cause
it to shake and bend.
One thing that you should keep in mind when you're camping in
colder climates is that there may often not be ground available
to drive the stakes of the tent into, since there will be a lot
of rock, or frozen ground. If you have to pitch your tent on
rock try to find a surface that is relatively level and near
some smaller rocks. This way you can tie tent lines to the rocks
and still have a sturdy tent.
