Choosing the right Tent

Tents are mostly about size. My wife and I have tried all different sizes of tents. Tents advertise a number of people that you can sleep in there but let’s face it, it’s like trying to fit the advertised number of people in a car. Sure it’s possible, but unless your destination is 15 minutes away it’s just not plausible.

Another thing to consider is your gear. Are you going to leave your gear outiside or inside? Unless it’s food, most people like to keep their gear inside so it stays dry. That takes up the place where a person would be. A good rule of thumb is about half the number of people can comfortably sleep in a tent than what is advertised. The only time this isn’t true is if you’re hiking, then you have to worry about size and weight, but then you probably already know what to buy.
