Burning Feeling Lower Left Abdomen

buying a tent

If we can clarify the requirements to be met by a tent, we're halfway there. Now you need to start browsing directories and you can go to the shops' struggle to identify. "
Until then, I wrote about the objective characteristics of tents, now it is time to go to subjective opinion. My experience is that difficult to find the skilled vendor. On the same question asked in several different stores got different, sometimes contradictory answers. Almost every vendor's tents, which extols is a distributor and is, above all, the models that are currently in the shop. When choosing a tent, we are heavily reliant on each other. It should be based on the opinions of friends interested in consuming our model. Such an opinion, necessarily subjective, it can still be very helpful.
influence on the choice of the tent has so many parameters that it is not possible to give a simple algorithm of choice. Let us at least some of the parameters.

* Form tent - dome, tunnel. If you want to choose a super-lightweight model, consider the form of a tunnel on one headband (Commando - Marabou) or huts on one headband (Camplight - Campus, Speed \u200b\u200b- Nansen Fjord) or two pałąkach (Bali - Marabou).
* Number of people - usually 2-3. For larger tents in the mountains is hard to find a place equal or dig in the snow sufficiently large platform. For loners are manufactured tents for single occupancy. In most of the tents can accommodate an extra person even though it may be tightly and may be problems with the baggage room.
Weight tent - unless you do not need to convince anyone that the lighter the better tent. Note the weight of the tent given by the manufacturer. Often, weight is given without the pins and tracks and additional masts. Additional towers can sometimes leave the house if we decide to use an alternative 'sticks'. Optimal for the weight of mountain hiking tent (2 passenger) should be within 2 to 4.5 kg. Tents base may be a little heavier. Tent weight depends primarily on the type of material the tropics, podłogi, sypialni i masztów - pałąków. Nie należy zapominać o ciężarze szpilek i śledzi, ale te można wymienić na lekkie duraluminiowe.
* Typ stelaża - namioty 3 sezonowe najczęściej mają maszty z włókna szklanego. Namioty całoroczne powinny mieć maszty z duraluminium.
* Wodoodporność tropiku - im większa tym lepsza, 2000 - 3000 mm H2O wydaje się wystarczająca dla większości zastosowań. Namioty zimowe powinny mieć wodoodporność tropiku około 3000 do 5000 mm H2O.
* Wodoodporność podłogi - minimum 2000 mm H2O. Najlepiej 3000 to 10000 mm H2O, unfortunately, materials with higher resistance to water are generally heavier. Winter Tent floor should be waterproof 10,000 mm H2O due to the breaking of the snow.
* Number apse - in my opinion, at least one, capable of cooking inside the apse - the vestibule. Tent with two vestibules provide greater comfort and easier placement of luggage. Sometimes, the tent has one smaller and one larger apse. In a smaller place backpacks and more boil.
* Ventilation - if you intend to cook in the vestibule and use tent in harsh weather conditions, pay attention to the ventilation holes. A minimum of two openings, better more, with adjustable volume up to complete closure (important when high winds or snow.) Tents in the form of high-end dome or tunnel have closed the vent (in the tropics and bedroom) located on the highest point of the tent, covered with an extra shirt that you can unhook (Tsunami's Jack Wolfskin). It provides not only good ventilation but also the observation of the environment without having to leave the tent.
* Number of inputs - at least one (tent without input is barely useful), but two really useful. A second entrance for easy access to the backpack in the apse, ventilation, drying the interior and, in the case of strong wind, the entrance to the tent on the leeward.
* windows - made of transparent film improves the interior lighting of the vestibule, are rarely placed in the bedroom. In my opinion, is not recommendable. Film stiffens in the cold and is easily damaged. Additionally, it is much heavier than the material of the tropics.
* Aprons - useful in tents in winter and strong winds, but not necessarily. When heavy rains to help drain the water away from the tent. Sometimes tents have tapes (K2 Space, Space Explorer's VauDe) for aprons, rolled up when we want to provide additional ventilation of the tropics. Some companies manufacturing tents doszywają gowns to order, but this increases the weight of the tent. Watching

catalogs or manufacturers' websites, we can know their trade offer. But sometimes lacking, especially on the Internet, some basic parameters. I was very surprised that the company gives no weight Campus their tents on the web, it is after all one of the most basic parameters.
photos and sketches of tents allow you to get an idea of \u200b\u200btheir form. It is worth noting the height of the tent and vestibule. However, the pictures can not replace seeing rozstawionego tent. The stores in the west many tents are spaced and you can always ask for the spacing of the selected model. Sometimes you can and must do it yourself. Most shops Polish is not possible due to lack of space. It is a pity, because no such direct contact with the tent before buying you pay attention to small things. And as we all know the devil is in the details. "
