General Food Storage Tips

Never leave food, trash or other scented products inside your tent. Never leave your food unattended. Jays, squirrels and chipmunks can quickly snatch food in broad daylight, and other animals come foraging at night.

Can the tent be used in the rain? Absolutely! The fabric has a durable water-resistant coating, and the seams are all sealed with a waterproof tape at the factory.

A family of 5 will likely need an 8P tent and a 6-person family will need a 10P tent. However, these guidelines aren't always accurate. Some very large tents will actually only sleep four people comfortably, especially if you are using air mattresses.

One of the first places your tent may fail is at the seams. Catoma tents come completely seam-sealed, however, over time, the seam tape can begin to deteriorate or detach. In this scenario, you can simply pull the seam tape off of the seams and repaint the seams with a tent-specific seam sealer.

This is where the "rule of three" comes in. Never go anywhere alone or be alone in a room with one of your campers. Always have a third person with you, whether that is another counselor or another camper. Alarm bells should ring if you see another counselor alone with a camper.

The RVing 2/2/2 rule is a safe and effective way to plan your travel. It means drive no more than 200 miles a day, stop every 2 hours, and stay 2 nights in each place. Some RVers also put an appendix on the rule encouraging drivers to arrive at an overnight destination by 2:00 p.m.

Put your fire out: Because you can endanger those around you, this is one of the most important camping rules, regardless of where you go. Be sure to put out your fire before bed, before heading out for the day, or when you leave the site at the end of your stay.

Instead, air mattresses and camp cots are often preferred by adults. Kids, however, seem to be content on foam pads and small camping mattresses. In a pinch, kids can even sleep on yoga mats, foam floor squares, or even folded up blankets, if the temperatures are warm.

Remember, a tent offers NO protection from lighting. Stay away from water, wet items, such as ropes, and metal objects, such as fences and poles. Water and metal do not attract lightning but they are excellent conductors of electricity. The current from a lightning flash will easily travel for long distances.

Between the two, a cabin tent is simply a better option if you plan on spending some time inside the tent aside from sleeping. But on the other hand, a dome tent offers more protection from the wind and elements.

What is the difference between a cabin and a tent camping? ›

While it's not exactly an every-day occurrence, tents can and do get blown over or drenched in extreme weather. Wind and rain both have the potential to ruin the tent camping experience. A cabin, on the other hand, has a foundation, solid walls, a roof, and isn't going anywhere.

Cabin tents are great tents for family camping or casual camping because they're very spacious, come with loads of family friendly features and typically give you a lot for your money. Cons for cabin tents include poor weather performance, low durability, and difficulty in replacing broken tent poles.

A teardrop trailer is more comfortable, more convenient, and more versatile than a tent. They provide more storage and more amenities, yet they're still lightweight and compact for easy transport.

Floorless shelters usually have a better performing rain fly in bad weather. Generally, these tents have rain protection that goes all the way to the ground. It is very important in a storm that rain, snow and wind can not be blown under the tent. The engineering aspect of these tent designs are better.

Inflatable sleeping mats offer the best combination of low weight and sleeping comfort. Down sleeping bags offer the best warmth to weight ratio, but in damp conditions synthetic is better. A three-season tent is usually more than adequate. Dome tents are ideal if you're camping on exposed precipices or hard ground.

The dome tent is the most common type of tent. It is easily distinguishable by its design. It comes with two poles, crisscrossed at a point forming two semi-circles running across the tent body. This is what gives the tent its dome shape.

Whether inflatable tents are better is entirely down to you, the camper. If you're looking for a large family tent that can be pitched by one person, quickly, then an inflatable tent is ideal. If you're a camper who's had a bad experience with snapping poles during a camping trip, then an inflatable tent is ideal.

Pitching an inflatable tent couldn't be easier. Simply attach the pump and then it should only take a couple of minutes to inflate each air beam. Once the tent is fully inflated, double-check that all of the air valves are firmly closed and then secure your tent to the ground with the guy ropes and pegs.
