Selection of tents

Tent is an important equipment for camping, but it is not the only equipment. Its role in camping is limited. Generally speaking, tents do not promise to keep warm. Camping warmth is the task of sleeping bags. The main functions of tents are wind, rain, dust, dew, and moisture, providing campers with a relative Comfortable resting environment. According to the above goals, the following factors should be considered in the selection of tents:

1. Select the outer tent and strive for high waterproofness. You can blow the fabric with your mouth to test its air permeability. Generally speaking, the air permeability is poor, and the waterproofness is only will be fine.

2. Choose the inner account for good air permeability.

3. The selection of struts requires high strength and good resilience.

4. The choice of primer should pay attention to water resistance and wear resistance.

5. The tents used for camping should be of double-layer structure.

6. The specifications should be selected as far as possible with a door shed, or consider a slightly larger size.

7. Choosing a tent with front and rear double doors is more conducive to ventilation.

Although the use of tents is not complicated, it should be said that it is also a kind of knowledge. The same tent, if used properly, has good windproof and rainproof effects, and vice versa. Three aspects should be paid attention to when using tents:

1. Selection of tent sites

The support of the tent should be selected in a relatively flat area, the entrance and exit should be facing away from the air outlet, and the ground should be relatively dry. It is better to have a thin lawn. If the ground has a slight slope, the outlet should be selected on the downhill, which is convenient for ditching and drainage.

2. Support and fixation

After the tent is rolled out, the four corners of the tent should be fixed first, so that the bottom of the tent is laid flat on the ground and fixed firmly. If conditions permit, a floor mat can be placed under the tent , which can protect the bottom of the tent and achieve better waterproof effect. When supporting the outer tent, in addition to the reliable connection with the tent pole, special attention should be paid to pulling the outer tent tightly, so as to facilitate the outer tent to achieve better rain resistance. Well, snow pressure can also be used in winter, which is more conducive to anti-seeing.

An inclination angle of the ground nail, the angle should be 40 degrees, the distance and direction of the ground nail and the pulling force should be the same axis, and the leash and the ground nail form a 90-degree angle, which is conducive to achieving Greater force strength. In the fixing sequence, attention should be paid to the corresponding fixing, for example: first the left front corner, then the right rear corner, the right front corner, the left rear corner, after repairing the tent and fixing it, adjust the pulling rope to make the pulling force in all aspects consistent. After propping up the tent, check the distance between the inner tents. If they are attached together, it will affect the rain and dew protection, so it should be adjusted.

3. Dig drains

When camping, if it rains, the procedure of digging drains must not be omitted, and the drains should be close to the outside of the tent If the tent does not have a skirt, the location of the ditch should be convenient for the water flowing from the outer tent to enter the ditch, and the drainage ditch is dug around the tent so that the accumulated water can be drained smoothly.
