Light Tents & Tarps

The outdoor tent test - which variants are there?

No matter whether expedition tent, trekking tent, 1-person tents, bivouac tent, family tents, hiking tents, or an inflatable tent-the selection is large. However, all outdoor friends agree - ultra -light tents are very popular. They convince with their low weight and small pack mass. There are no universal tents for every use with large temperature differences. It is therefore important to become aware of your requirements! How much am I ready to carry on my tent? What weather conditions expect you? How is the underground? There are also different dimensions for the inner and outer tent. Important outdoor tents are the tunnel tent and the dome tent (also called igluzelt). A dome tent with several crossed rods is called talented - these are more stable than conventional dome tents. Tunnel tents are rectangular and the rods run in an arc shape parallel to each other. This construction is not on its own, such as the dome tent and always has to be tightly tensioned with tent herrings and cords. The advantage is the significantly better ratio of base surface to usable interior. They are tent as a man tent or 2 people.

Care instructions for tents - what do I have to consider?

Before the hiking tent is packed again, you should remove it from dirt, as this can hardly affect the waterproof and the tent UV protection.
You should also go to shady places with the camping tent. Basically, outdoor tents only be stored in a well -dried and cleaned state in order to avoid mold and unpleasant smells. A tent pad can also help protect the tent floor from moisture. It is best to use warm water and mild detergent and dirt to remove the dirt, as well as a soft cloth or brush. There are also special tent cleaners that can be used for tent care.
