Camping, trekking, and hiking are the three best ways of really connecting with Mother Nature. Sleeping under the clear night sky, cooking outdoors, living off all the goodness that nature has to offer can be a lot of fun and a really learning experience. Going with family or friends can really make it a memorable trip. There is, of course, a lot of prep that needs to be done before you set out. It's not the same as packing a bag and setting off to some hotel.

When buying a tent there are a few things need to keep an eye out for. The first thing to keep in mind is the size of the tent. You can also buy good quality military tents for camping trips.

It should be big enough to be able to contain your entire family so that nobody has to sleep outside in the cold. You can get 3-man, 5-man, and 10-man tents. You can also get those that are small enough to fit just one person. The next thing to consider is the kind of fabric the tent is made up of.

It needs to be strong and durable and needs to be water-resistant so that it can basically withstand most climatic conditions. The tents that are used in places with really low temperatures and snow need to be warm too. Any fabric that can rip too easily should not be bought. The last thing to consider is how easily the tent can be set up.

Tents are usually too complicated to set up and most people find it very difficult to do so. That is why you should pick one that is user-friendly and more importantly is easy for you. You can either buy the tents if you are a frequent camper or hire them from camping supply stores to save a little money.
