Camping Chairs
Now that the weather is warming up, camping & hiking are picking up. Many of you are thinking about spending a nice relaxing weekend outdoors. If you want to enjoy a wilderness experience, there’s a lot of equipment you could use, from camping chairs and a sleeping bag to a cooking equipment such as a single-burner stove. But if you’re going to camp out overnight, the most important piece of equipment to have is a tent.
The choice of what kind of tent to get is very important, and is usually decided by cost, weight
Sleeping Bag
(especially if you are backpacking), the number of people you plan on taking camping, and the kind
of weather you expect to use your tent in. The larger a tent, the heavier and more expensive it is. Most tents are usually of the 2-3 person kind, the 4-5 person kind, or the 6-8 person kind. Keep in mind that the number of persons estimated is usually for a very snug fit, so if you are planning to go camping and you have five people in your family, you might consider getting a 6-8 person tent instead.
3 Season Tent
Tents are often divided up into the number of seasons they are prepared for. A 1 season tent will generally be lighter and cheaper, but it can only handle summer weather. Anything more and you might wake up wet! A 3 season tent is built to withstand weather for spring, summer and fall, and can handle strong winds, fairly heavy rain, and even a little snow. This type of tent is suitable for most people who enjoy casual camping around the year. A 4 season tent, for the dedicated outdoor enthusiast, will be able to handle all but the most extreme weather conditions.
Coleman Tents are very reliable and often quite reasonably priced, especially for tents meant to hold
