You want to go camping for the first time, but you don’t have the courage?
There are tents for sale for all occasions: mountain tents or camping tents. You can choose the appropriate tent depending on how you like to spend your holidays.
Have you heard the stories of people who have had unfortunate experiences with their tent? We propose to further explain why it is nice to go camping and what to do in order not to encounter any problems. I’ll say some situations with which beginners can meet.
The unfortunate experiences of those who have been camping include the following:
- A heavy rain will soak you good, tents do not withstand a torrential rain;
- The conditions are not so hygienic, you will stay in unsuitable conditions;
- The tent is difficult to assemble;
- The insects are disturbing: mosquitoes, ants and other crawling with many legs;
- You can meet wild animals: bears, or worse, wolves;
- Life in a tent is very difficult, in the camping are only those who can not afford a hotel.
All the previous statements are incorrect. Experiences in nature are very relaxing and enjoyable if you have a minimum of foresight and act in the knowledge of the cause. Let`s take them one by one.
- A heavy rain will soak you good, tents do not withstand a torrential rain.
Indeed not all models hold off water, stopping it from getting inside. But this means that you have bought a product of poor quality, generally cheaper and most likely Chinese.
The outer foil characteristic which doesn’t let the rain getting inside is called impermeability and its measured in mm water column. A model whose outer foil has this coefficient greater than 3000 mm will definitely resist the rain. For more details about this, read the Impermeability section. Because you don’t want to get wet by a summer rain, you have to buy a good model.
- The conditions are not so hygienic, you will stay in unsuitable conditions.
Nothing less true. In most of the campsites are clean toilets and showers. As for tent cleanliness, this depends on each tourist in part. Just like cleaning your room where you live, you need to take care of your tent.
- The tent is difficult to assemble.
Surely to set up your tent, you don’t have to be an engineer. Any person who has read the user’s Guide of any model will be able to set it up easily. It is true that family models, the ones that have 2, 3 or even 4 rooms take a longer time to set up (45-60 minutes), being necessary to read the instructions more often. But most models of 2, 3 or 4 persons do not require complex operations. In 5-10 minutes you will finish.
- The insects are disturbing: mosquitoes, ants and other crawling with many legs.
Here, I have to partially agree with this. Inside may enter insects, bugs or mosquitoes. But these won`t harm you, they also are beings on this planet. This is a proof that you are in the middle of nature.
- You can meet wild animals: bears, or worse, wolves.
Wild animals are attracted to tourists food, but they don’t want to have to deal with people. If you camp in an isolated spot on the mountain, away from other tents, it’s possible that in the evening to recite a visit from a bear. Those who stop at the campsite don’t have any chance to see a bear or other wild animal.
- Life in a tent is very difficult, in the camping are only those who can not afford a hotel.
Life in a tent is gorgeous. I wouldn’t give it up for any hotel room in the world. What could be more beautiful than to be in nature? You feel the coolness of the forest in the mountains or the sea breeze on the beach. In addition, the mobility offered by such a holiday is extremely high, the choice of the location depends only on your desire. You feel more in charge of your own vacation.
