Expert Outdoorsman-One of the greatest freedoms we have in America is self education with no limits.And we are blessed to have tons of free resources at our fingertips.The library is one of the best places to learn.So now while Spring is coming on,why not start getting prepared. Do you need to learn to set up a tent the right way?Or the right kind of tent to buy?Well you've come to the right place because we'll teach you how. What size Tent-As a general rule of thumb buy the next size up for less amount of people.In other words if there's two of you going camping then buy a 3 people tent even though there'll be only two going.3 persons in a 3 man tent is a little much unless you run into an emergency where you can't help it . But if you want a bit of "breathing space"unless you're on your honeymoon,you'll quickly find that spending several days in a next size up tent will become a valuable foresight and much appreciated. Consider also that you've got to have a place for your gear and you don't want to leave it out in the rain or where critters from the wild can chew on and destroy.My wife and I try to even take a four person size if we don't have to carry the extra weight very far. Average weight is around 6 to 7 pounds for the lightweight tent you'll carry on your backpack,but as you increase person size that weight can quickly add up and become a real load after a short time of hiking to your camp.Depends on weather and whether you're in the plains or up on the mountain,or way down south.
