on 11/22/2005 I find that the easiest tents to set up, and the best quality tents, are dome tents.

on 11/22/2005 I was tired of being crammed into a small tent and not being able to stand up. Now I'm getting tired of lugging my 30 pound 12 foot x 12 foot and 8 foot tall monster tent around. Plus, this big sail of a tent really goes places in the wind! In a breeze there needs to be a person sitting inside to hold it down, all our gear and stakes in soft ground couldn't keep it put. It's also tedious to setup, clean, and find a large enough flat space to set it up. Be careful when choosing a big tent!

on 11/22/2005 Check the height of the tent. I am tired of dressing all hunched over or lying on my back. The next tent I buy is going to be one I can stand up in!

on 11/22/2005 Purchase a tent with "sealed or taped seams" to prevent moisture leaking into your shelter. Most tents come with taped seams now, but make sure! Also, it's a good idea to add some liquid seam sealer yourself for more protection. (It's usually only about $5.00 a bottle and dries quickly.)

on 11/22/2005 You'll want to know how many people will be sleeping in the tent. If you're buying for a family, be sure to have the room so your kids aren't rolling all over you in the night.
