backpacking tent
November 5th, 2009
Sleeping outdoors should not be uncomfortable. You will need protection from the weather and the bugs as well as a nice place to stay where you can tell stories or watch the stars. These are good reasons why you should carry a backpacking tent out into the wilds.
Your choice of tent will boil down to finding the right balance of weight versus your preferred convenience and comfort. The minimalist style goes for reducing weight that overrides all other considerations. The maximalist puts a priority on comfort and convenience while the middle ground style aims for the right balance of weight, comfort, and convenience.
