Wall Tent Camping – More Spacious Way To Enjoy Nature
Wall tents are much more comfortable than the other tents, and give the impression of being roomier than sloping wall tents, just because the ‘walls’ are straight just affording an additional space for the campers to live in. You don’t have to bend downwards or ward off the tent before lying down, or getting up!
These tents are a little more heavy on the pocket, but when you have a family of three or four, wall tents provide enough space for everyone.
Unlike other tenting, wall tents are for designed for all seasons, and not only for the summer. These tents are designed for all kinds of weather, including severe variations in temperature. A wall tent must be able to provide protection from extremes like rain, snow and high winds outside. It should be able to provide wood cooking, and use heat appliances inside. A stove also indicates that the occupants have a warm atmosphere to sleep in, especially after a stint outside. If you are planning to cook inside the tent, you need to ensure that the tent is made of fire retardant material, not only for the side walls, but also for the flooring. Some of the wall tents come with a small area specially meant for that inside the tent in a corner. Others too come with retractable wall, which allows you to raise the walls a bit so that there is enough ventilation inside.
Just like other tenting equipment wall tents come in different sizes and styles. They do require a little more in having them up and usable, and need a little more poles and pegs to set up. It would be a good idea for you to practice it once or twice before you set out for your first camping trip.
To make your camping trip a good one, you need to have with you good sleeping mats, sleeping bags and lighting, which can be in the form of gas lanterns that could be hung inside the ten. A sleeping cot could be worthwhile because then you would be protected from the elements, the uneven surface and the moisture in the early hours of the morning. These additional equipment are worth it, even though it may add to your costs.
One of the many other advantages that a wall tent has is that you can invite your camping neightbors to your tent for a meal, a drink, or even just to gossip. Of course, you might be thinking that you need a table, but that is not so. A simple large mat, or a combination of floor mats, are enough to make your guests/invitees comfortable. You can even organise a pot-luck lunch or dinner with them! That would make for good camaradrie amongst your fellow campers, and it can be good entertainment not only for yourself, but also for your children. These kind of events help you to make friends, learn from their camping experiences, and probably one of them could also possibly show you some of the sights that might have escaped your attention.
