If you have not yet gone camping then you are missing out on a lot of fun.

The objective
of a camping trip is to reconnect with nature and spend time relaxing away from the
stresses and problems of everyday life. Tents have been used by explorers, big game
hunters in Africa, fur trappers in Canada and Alaska, gold prospectors and Boy Scouts
just about everywhere. Of course, technologies of today have made the modern camping
equipment a lot more effective - camping tents are created better than ever and are
constructed of the best durable and weatherproof materials. The camping tents are
manufactured with durable nylon material that is water, sun, and tear resistant.
Camping tents are also available in a big selection of styles, sizes, and colors.

Whether spending a day or week, your camping tent should provide you with the safety
and shelter you need. This is the last line of defense against the forces of nature, and
protecting yourself is necessary for a good camping experience. Get the camping tent
that will protect you in the worst-case scenario because high-quality camping tents are
the key to a safe and comfortable camping experience.

Camping tents come in many sizes so get an idea how many people you plan to sleep in
the tent to determine the size you need. Camping tents are easy to pitch, convenient to
store and can be lightweight enough to carry in day after day. Better camping tents are
constructed of rip-stop nylon or a polyester blend. There are also canvas camping tents
that are put together extremely well and are very durable. The ease of maintenance is a
main advantage of the canvas camping tent. On the other hand, the main disadvantage of
a canvas camping tent is its bulk and weight.
Many camping tents come with mesh screens that can be put up on the sides to allow the
air to flow freely while still keeping out bugs and other creatures. The best camping tents
are well ventilated with quality screens and a waterproof rain fly - make sure your tent
has adequate ventilation since well ventilated tents have fewer problems with
condensation build-up inside the tent.

Different camping tents are made for the different seasons and climate. In the US,
camping tents are generally divided into two categories; three season and four season.
Most camping tents are three season tents. Three-season camping tents are designed for
use while camping during spring, summer, and fall. 3-Season tents usually have more
open and zipped mesh panels to aide in ventilation.
Four-season camping tents are designed to withstand harsh conditions like driving rain or
heavy snow. Winter camping tents are considered four season tents. Four-season tents
theoretically keep you warm or cool, whichever the case may be, year-round.

Convertible camping tents are designed like four-season tents but can be converted to
three-season tents if the added protection isn’t needed. To change from 4-season to 3-
season camping tent, remove the tent cover, a pole or two, and open the zippered
windows for ventilation. Extreme camping tents, from its name alone, are used for
extreme weather conditions.

Although camping tents are designed to be tough, rugged, and durable to stand against
nature's elements, they are not maintenance-free. Camping tents are one of the most
essential things that can make your camping trip a memorable one, so be sure to pay
gratitude and give them the proper care they deserve. To prevent mildew, be sure that
your camping tent is totally dry when you return home, before storing it. When it comes
to cleaning the tent, it is good to hand wash it using a mild soap and a sponge.
Rinse the tent carefully and air-dry it but never put it under direct sunlight.
Never wash it in a washing machine or use detergents with strong cleaning chemicals as
these may harm the seams and the coating of the tent.
