Let's check out a couple of various strategies of camping, and once they are most applicable.

Camping cots.

As opposed to struggle along with a large tent (specifically while trekking in warmer locations) you are able to lighten your load considerably with the use of a cot. Not just are they lighter, cots also provides ground help, making it easy to sleep anyplace. The down side to a cot more than a tent, obviously, will be the exposure for the components. In case you are preparing an extended backpacking trip that may involve inclement climate, or perhaps a large number of bugs, you might wish to think about a tent, or perhaps a tarp with mosquito net to place over your cot.

Tents.

You'll find numerous styles of tents obtainable, even though they can be separated into two main categories: transportable tents and wall tents (also known as canvas tents). Wall tents are amazing for extended stays in the woods. I lived inside a canvas tent for 4 months in Yosemite, complete with bunk beds, wood stove and windows, and could not have been a lot more comfortable.

Canvas camping tents will be the ultimate type of lodging in the wilderness. No other type of camping tent can match the sturdiness and durability they provide. I've hiked and camped around the globe (nicely, not all over, but on several continents) and, although I generally favor smaller trekking tents, I've lived inside a canvas tent for a number of months in Yosemite with significantly achievement.

In addition, you'll be able to also add extra attributes to a canvas tent if you want. Some campers prefer to add a tiny porch, utility racks and shelves for clothing. If you are trying to find a Walden like experience, a wall tent will be the method to go.

Naturally, in the event you strategy on moving a great deal, a wall tent is not the way to go.

A Frame Tents

For the more mobile camper, a regular A-frame is really a much better choice. These sturdy tents are actual bargains at surplus shops, straightforward to set up and take down, and are usually created with interchangeable components. I've hosted close to a hundred campers, and need to say that A-frame tents, much like self winding watches, had been ahead of their time.
