Choosing the right tent
Your tent is your shelter, your home away from home when you are camping, so some thought should be put into choosing the tent that is right for you.
Tents come in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles and the tent you choose will depend on what type of camping you will be using it for.
Consider:
- How many people will the tent need to sleep?
- Where and when will you be camping?
- Is the weight or pack-size of the tent an issue?
