Seven To Ten

I love outdoor life and camping is very often part and parcel of it. When you camp, choosing a tent becomes an art. The most ideal weight for those who back pack or canoe camp is to have the tent weighing below below 10 lbs.

Aside from weight, fabric is also important as this decides the tent cost and quality. A thread count of 130 means that, per square inch, there are about 70 threads running one way, 60 the other. The higher the thread count, the lower the fabric weight, the better the tent will hold out the elements.

Spun-polyester sidewalls contribute to weight reduction in construction. Many tent fabrics behave like raincoats and are treated to resist water.

Also, look out for an additional strip of webbing at the Eaves and main corner seams, this will add strength to the seams and helps the tent keep its proper shape. In most areas, insect protection is as important as protection from the elements. A sewn-in floor and mosquito door are definite quality factors. Good ventilation is equally important.

If you are looking for tents, I recommend this site, Outfitter Warehouse, as they offer the widest selection possible. Their product list includes wall tents, canvas tents, spike tents, range tents, hunting tents, tent frames, hunting stoves, wall tent stoves, wood camp stoves, outdoor wood burning stoves, and accessories.

The products are supplied directly from the leading brands in the industry, for example, Cylinder Stoves, Montana Canvas, Kwik Kamp, Reliable Tent, Kni-Co, Sims Stoves, and Riley Stoves.

I will be buying wall tents from them for my next camping trip. If you are interested, click the link to find out more.
