"We used the tents at our first camporee back in March and won the Commissioners award for best campsite.  We were praised for having matching tents for the kids.  There has never been a troop to go to the camporee first starting out and win this award. Thanks again for playing a role in this award."

If this is your first time for choosing a tent or an experienced camper choosing a tent, it is always good to review some guidelines for purchasing the tent that “is right for you”.  It is understandable that different campers have different needs.  To ensure that you will choose the perfect tent for both you and your family, ask yourself the following questions before you start shopping.

          How many people will be using the tent? - This will help you to determine an appropriate style and size.

          How will the tent be used? - This will tell you how the tent will be transported, as well as how durable it needs to be.

          What kind of conditions must the tent handle? - You should purchase a tent that can handle the most extreme conditions you're likely to encounter.

          How often will the tent be used? - If you are planning on using your tent more frequently, you will need a more durable tent. 

          How much interior space do you want or need? - Need to take sleeping space, storage and comfort into account.

          Is weight an issue? - A performance backpacker will be much more concerned about a lightweight, highly portable tent than a car camper.
