Tent Guide Selecting a Tent Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Expect the Worst In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.
Three- and Four-Season Tents For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.
For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.
Domes, Tunnels and Sacks Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.
Size Matters Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.
Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.
This review is from: Uinta quick-set family & car camping tent (Sports)
The Uinta has great appeal for a quick-stop of one night or 3 or 4. Set-up is quick and easy, with or without stakes, (but they're recommended). Windy or rainy conditions with guy-outs and the fly take considerably longer, but it's still quick. I don't yet know about wet conditions, but the deep tub floor looks good. In fact, the whole tent looks good, from inside or out. My only other quick-set was a Camel SST, which was both smaller and hot and stuffy, except under cool conditions. This company's logo is a camel. Hmmmmm. If it's the same people, they hit a home run with this new one.
It's well laid out, with a roomy square floor footprint and a modified dome. The "front porch" apron and well-hooded door are nice. I have always divided by two when it comes to the number of people comfortably accomodated, and this tent is no different, but two should find more comfort and convenience than average for this type of tent.
There is plenty of ventilation, fully adjustable for conditions. First trip out was to Yosemite's Tuolumne Meadows in later September. Rain fly off and everything open for warm (even hot), days, then fly on for cold nights. The "no-seeum" mesh is effective for the casual glance. Crowded conditions likely will not feel too intrusive. Seeing out is easy and fun, especially at night. Seeing in is difficult.
I found this tent to be very comfortable. However, layering has something to do with it. I start with a conventional ground sheet, then add a layer of overlaping "space blankets", aluminized side down. This helps protect against moisture and cold ground. Then goes the tent, followed by an inside liner and/or an indoor-outdoor area rug. These are recommended for anyone and any tent. Your floors will last a lot longer. You will be more comfortable. Pitching and striking can be arduous, which this tent makes easier, but it's worth it. Sirius helps, too.
Great 3-season tent. The folks in Chicago did well.
