Tent Camping is a wonderful out-of-the-ordinary experience which can be enjoyed by anyone. Unfortunately, one of the disadvantages of Tent Camping is the high initial cost of buying camping equipment. Sadly, this hurdle keeps some people from ever even going tent camping. The good news is this does not have to be the case at all. With a little planning and effort, you can buy quality camping equipment at a reduced rate. Here, are some tent camping tips to help reduce your overall camping equipment bill:
1. Know What You Like: Camping equipment is not much different than purchasing any other consumer product. This means you can bargain hunt for clearance items or discounted items just like you would for a designer shirt or other product. To find out what you like, there are really only two ways to determine this:
a. Go to camping stores and try out the products: There are certain brand products that you can test at the store or will be on display. Take some time to review these products and determine what brands you like or what it is about each product that you like.
b. Borrow other people’s camping equipment: This gives you an opportunity to find out what brands you like and will allow you to make some more informed decisions.
c. Ask A Friend: Be sure to ask friends what type of equipment they liked and also what equipment they did not. This will help give you a reference point in making your decision.
d. Use The Internet: There are now a number of chat forums where people discuss certain types of camping equipment they like and what to avoid. Since it is already out there and free, do not be afraid to use it.

While tent camping, the tent becomes your castle. It is the most important piece of camping equipment that you will buy. For this reason, a good amount of time should go into purchasing the right tent. To help simply this decision process, we have put together the following list:
1. Type of Camping Trip: Are you going to be backpacking, weekend camping, or doing some extended camping? A heavier tent can be used for longer term camping and tends to be better for larger groups. However, a lighter tent is better for short term camping and is ideal for backpacking.
2. Travel Distance: How far will you have to go to drop off your camping equipment? If it is a far distance, a lighter tent would be preferable because of its lighter weight. If you need a larger tent, it is a good idea to camp close to the drop-off point. Ideally, the drop off point should be within ½ mile if you have a large amount of camping equipment. (more…)
