Choosing a Tent: Do You Need Three Seasons or Four?

Ahmed — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 04:10:03 +0000

Today's camping tents are more convenient than ever. Most are easy to carry, simple to set up and provide great value for your money. However, one decision you'll need to make when shopping is whether to get a 3-season or 4-season tent. These designations refer to the kind of weather the tent is meant to handle. You can probably figure out what they mean, but let's take a closer look.

Three-season tents are built to handle most weather conditions you would find in spring, summer or fall. The main type of weather these tents are not designed to endure is the extreme cold of winter. Of course, this means that in regions where winters are mild, a three-season tent will probably handle all four seasons of the year just fine.

Three-season tents are more affordable because they don't have to be built for extreme conditions. You should be in fine shape for fair weather camping. If you expect to experience heavy rain or wind-driven rain, you should plan to cover the tent with a rain fly. You should also consider protecting the bottom from water seepage as well.

Four-season tents are specifically designed to protect against snow and wind. Their construction is much more durable and they are engineered to resist the buildup of snow. Four-season durability comes with a higher price tag. However, if you plan to do this kind of camping, the extra protection will be worth every extra penny. It's more than a matter of discomfort or inconvenience. Venturing out into harsh winter conditions when you don't have the proper gear is a recipe for disaster.

For most campers, a three-season tent will probably do the job. If you're an outdoorsman who is likely to need a four-season tent, then you probably already know it.

Choosing the Right Camping Stove for Your Style of Camping

Ahmed — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 16:19:03 +0000

The type of camping you normally do will determine which stove you should choose. If you do lots of backpacking to remote areas, then you’ll want a small, light stove that can use a variety of fuels. On the other hand, if you travel by car or RV to improved camping sites, then you may want to consider larger stoves with more cooking area.

Your typical camping location will also affect how dependable your stove needs to be. Of course, you would hope that any stove you purchase would work every time you use it. But a stove failure when you’re a three-day hike into the wilderness is a completely different matter compared to when you’re 300 yards from the camp store.

Camping stoves also differ in the kinds of fuel that they burn. In general, four different types of stoves can be found: butane gas, liquid fuel, solid fuel and alcohol. There are advantages and drawbacks to each type of fuel. Generally speaking, if you camp in far-flung locations under extreme conditions, you will probably want to go with liquid fuelled stoves. They are more dependable under different weather conditions, and there is a lot of flexibility in the kinds of liquid fuel that can be used.

If you are more of a paved-road, weekend camper, you will probably be quite pleased with the butane gas stove models. They are easy to light (in mild to warm weather) and provide a predictable flame and heat level. The gas burns very cleanly, so that means you won’t be doing a lot of maintenance on the stove or the burners. However, you should make sure you’ve stocked up with gas for the trip because the butane cylinders aren’t available just anywhere. And if you start to do a lot of camp cooking, you may start to notice the extra expense of cooking with gas.

Three Features Your Camping Cookware Must Have

Ahmed — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 17:26:05 +0000

There are three essential features that your camping cookware must have. You want cookware that carries easily, cooks quickly and lasts a long time. Different sets and brands may have different options, but these three qualities are the ones that really matter.

It doesn’t matter if your camping cookware puts the best gourmet to shame. If the pots and pans are a burden to pack and carry along, then the food probably won’t make up the difference. There is no requirement that pans and utensils must be heavy to cook well. But surprisingly, the weight is not usually the issue for packing ease.

Here are the features that DO make a difference: nesting, the ability to remove handles, and the flexibility to use lids on more than one pan. When you can nest one pan inside the other, you greatly reduce the space required to pack the set. Being able to remove handles likewise makes packing easier and more compact. Finally, when the pans are the right size to share lids, it reduces the total number of items that you have to fit into your packed gear.

When you are out enjoying nature, you don’t want to spend all your time cooking. Invest in a set of camping cookware that heats up quickly and cooks food efficiently. This usually means pans with dark bottoms. Dark bottom pans conduct heat and transfer it to the food more efficiently. Fast cooking not only saves you time, it saves stove fuel too.

Finally, your camping cookware should be durable enough to last for many camping seasons. Your chosen set should be designed to handle the rough handling that camping can dish out. The pans should also be meant for open-flame cooking. Remember, you’re going to be using a camp stove, and these appliances don’t always offer precise heat control.

By finding a good set of cookware that is easy to carry, quick to cook, and durable for the long haul, your outdoor meals will be the joy that they should be.

Why Coleman Tents are a Good Choice for Many Campers

Ahmed — Fri, 04 Mar 2011 18:27:58 +0000

When it comes to camping gear, Coleman is easily one of the most recognized brand names around. From stoves to lanterns to tents, the Coleman name is found over and over again on some of the most popular camping equipment. This popularity is one good reason to consider Coleman when you are shopping for a camping tent. Coleman also manufactures a full range of camping tent styles, providing you with the ability to choose the perfect model for your needs. Let’s take a close look at how a Coleman tent may be the best answer to your camping tent needs.

Most companies would envy the brand awareness that Coleman has developed over the years. Even people who don’t go camping know that Coleman makes camping equipment. One advantage this gives you, the buyer, is stability. This is a company that isn’t going anywhere. Their widespread popularity also means there will be a rich second-hand market. If you want to start out with a pre-owned tent from eBay or Craigslist, there will probably be plenty to choose from.

Coleman manufactures a full line of camping tents, from one-person tents for hiking to large family cabin tents. It doesn’t matter what kind of camping you intend to do, you should be able to get equipped with a tent that will meet your requirements.

Deciding on a tent to purchase usually comes down to size, ease of setup and price. With so many models available from Coleman, you should be able to find the perfect size. Most modern tents are simple to set up in the field, but Coleman often sets the standard for easy tent setup. Finally, the company is known for pricing their products well within the budget of the average weekend camper.

If you are in the market for a new or upgraded tent, consider camping tents from Coleman. You can choose from many different styles, enjoy affordable prices, and be assured that the manufacturer will still be around in years to come.

Are Surefire Flashlights Worth the Money?

Ahmed — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 21:09:00 +0000

A bright, dependable flashlight could very well be the most essential piece of camping gear. Whether you are forging new trails in the wilderness or camping with the family in a developed campground, you need to be able to see at night. Nothing is more frustrating dealing with a flashlight that is too dim or unreliable. Like all good camping gear, your flashlight should be built to withstand rough handling. Camping enthusiasts who put a high priority on their light sources consistently choose Surefire lights. Although the high price of these hand torches can be breathtaking, many believe they are worth the expense.

Surefire flashlights are tightly constructed of anodized aluminum. They can easily withstand the occasional drops and bumps that a flashlight is likely to experience on a camping trip. They are manufactured to military specifications, so you aren’t likely to put them into a situation they can’t handle. Plus the LED light source is pretty much indestructible. They include o-ring and gasket construction to protect against moisture and short dunks underwater.

One feature that can really help with battery life is the dual illumination levels. The low setting is perfect for map reading or walking around the campsite, but there is a high setting available when you need lots of light. Included batteries are rated to last up to 10 years.

You could always opt for a cheaper flashlight and count on replacing them more often. You may even have a psychological barrier against spending more than $100 for a flashlight. However, just like everything else, the quality of your gear determines the quality of the experience. You may initially struggle with laying out the cash for a light of this caliber. However, once you own it and it comes through for you in some sticky situations, chances are you’ll become its number one salesman.

Adding a Camping Tarp to your Camping Gear

Ahmed — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 21:50:11 +0000

If you enjoy camping, then may already own some of the essentials, like a tent and couple of sleeping bags. But you might want to consider adding a camping tarp to your gear collection. Many outdoor enthusiasts use a tarp in addition to their tent. Some use the tarp instead of a tent. When deciding which product to purchase, consider what size you need. You should also balance weight and durability. Finally, rate the protection of your choice to make sure it keep you dry and help you stay safe.

A tarp is essentially a tent without walls. They can be used to add extra overhead protection to your tent, or you can choose to sleep under the tarp. Some campers like to set up a tarp adjacent to their tent and use it like an open-air living room. Regardless of how you end up using it, you need to make sure you get the right size. Measure your tent or typical camping area and buy accordingly. In most cases, you'll need something at least five feet by ten feet or greater.

Another point of decision will be the weight of the tarp. This will be determined by the size and the material. Nylon and other synthetic fabrics will weigh less than canvas. Of course, if you never plan to carry the tarp when hiking, then the weight may not be a big deal for you. But keep in mind that lighter tarps will also be easier to erect than heavy, unwieldy fabric.

Finally, rate each of your potential tarps for the protection they offer from wind, sun and rain. A good reflective tarp could keep you cooler; while a waterproof model will help you stay drier in the rain. If you plan on doing any cooking under the tarp, opt for fire retardant material. You wouldn't want to go camping and end up burning your "house" down.
