Whoever said anything, but there is nothing better than a vacation spent in the bosom of nature: clean air, water and physical activity in a matter of days are able to drive out the fatigue accumulated in the city and save from the usual stress. But in order to leave camp holidays only pleasant memories, it is necessary to approach the preparation with due responsibility, in particular, to think over all the equipment to the smallest detail. So, for the organization of fast halts, a hiking shower or a recreation area, you need to take a tourist tent with you. Varieties of hiking touristic awnings will be devoted to our article.
Why do you need a tent?
A tourist-beginner probably will have a question, why do we need a tent in the hike and will not it be an extra burden? Of course, with a lack of free space in the luggage without a tent, you can and do, using as a shelter a tent . But you will agree that in rainy weather it is much more pleasant to gather all the place under an awning by the fire, than to be bored in a close tent. In addition, the tents can be used as a protection against the scorching sun, shelter from annoying insects or the organization of a "storage room" for backpacks. You can also equip a shower with a tarpaulin. As you can see, the tent is a convenient, useful and even irreplaceable thing. It remains a little - to be able to choose it correctly.
Tourist awning canopy
The simplest version of the tent is a tent-canopy, which looks like a square piece of cloth (most often 4x4 meters), in some cases equipped with a mosquito net. Such a tent has one indisputable advantage - low weight, which is achieved due to the lack of racks and other metal elements. Of course, for the installation of such a tourist tent will require some experience and skill, but reliably fixed with stretch marks, it will not be subject to a strong wind, nor other vagaries of nature. The perimeter of hinged awnings has usually a lot of loops, which can be used to construct various types of structures - houses, tents, etc. Shed awnings from various synthetic fabrics with water permeable impregnation, which allows them to withstand even very heavy rain. And for pulling over the fire, special fire awning canopies are produced, the fabric of which has a special refractory impregnation. The huge advantage of hinged awnings is that they can be stretched practically at any height and at any angle, which makes them universal.
Tourist awning with racks
Another variety of tourist awnings except the canvas includes support posts. Due to this, the awning takes the form of a tent, which can be installed not only in the forest, but also in open terrain. But this convenience has a noticeable minus - the racks have enough weight, which is very important in hiking. The tent-tents can be of various shapes, starting from the usual house and ending with complex polyhedral constructions. But the experience of experienced tourists shows that the most practical and resistant to wind gusts are polyhedral rounded awnings. In order to reduce the weight of the sidewall, tent-tents are usually made of mosquito netting, which helps to escape from insects, but does not protect against lateral gusts of wind and rain. Therefore, if the weight does not have a significant value, for example, it is reasonable to use tents with removable sidewalls from the main fabric in auto-trips, which can be turned off or completely removed if necessary. The inner part of the tourist tents has usually different kinds of fastenings: for hanging a camping lantern, hanging clothes, etc.
