Coleman is the name that is synonymous with camping, no matter what piece of equipment you are looking for. They have been making supplies for campers for over 100 years. Starting with lanterns, they have branched out to all needs of those who love the outdoors. The Coleman camping tent is the choice of campers throughout the world.

Whatever type of camping you are doing, Coleman has a quality crafted product for your needs. Coleman camping tents are all built to keep you warm and dry. All these tents are built with reinforced tent pole holders, inverted floor seams, and mesh vents for ventilation. You get separate bags for all the equipment.

The variety of Coleman Camping Tents is so large, that finding the one you are looking for could be compared to searching for a car or a house.

If you hiking through the mountains with just a backpack, Coleman has over a dozen tents that can fit up to four people comfortably. These are all made from lightweight materials that will keep you from being overburdened. Even the largest of these, the Northstar, is simple to set up so you can enjoy your campsite without wrestling with your equipment.

If you need something for the family, there is a Coleman Camping tent that will fit a family from three to eight people. Depending on your budget and your needs, you can get a tent that includes a dome design.

Most models have high a ceiling with a maximum height of 80” (On the Weathermaster edition) which means a six and a half foot person can stand comfortably inside. The larger models come with separate sections, vestibules, and even screened in porch areas. And if your large crew is going to cooler areas, the Northstar edition gives you plenty of room with extra protection.

If you want some extra features, try a hinged door or built in lights. You can commune with nature without having to rough it too much. These features are found on some of the larger Coleman Camping tents in the Evanston, Montana, and Weathermaster tents. Coleman Camping tents have the features that the experienced or novice campers are looking for.

When a company has been around for over 100 years, you learn a few things. When it comes to camping, the first rule is to stay dry. Coleman camping tents are guaranteed to keep you dry. That is why they have survived through good economies and bad and continued to serve the demanding outdoor enthusiasts.

All of us like to work out in our own way. Some go to the gym, some swim, some do aerobics, yoga or kick boxing and some like to go camping. Camping is an outdoor activity which offers a great work out as well as a rejuvenating experience. We come home fit and refreshed after camping. But to have more fun at camping and to make the trip safer, you need to invest in good quality camping equipment. The equipment you choose can make your camping experience more comfortable and easy.

Camping tents are one of the most important equipment items that you will need to invest in. They offer you shelter from the elements and a safe place to rest. Camping tents are available with different levels of quality and various price ranges. You have several choices available depending on your needs and budget. There are three factors which should be considered while choosing a tent, the tent size, the cost and the weather conditions.

Camping tent size will depend on the number of people camping, the height of the campers, the room required for storage and supplies, and the size of the site where you are going to camp. The camping tent should not be excessively large as they become unstable in rough weather. But they should be taller than the tallest person in the group. Go for more than one tent if the group is bigger. The duration of your camping adventure will determine how many supplies you will need to carry and thus how big the tent should be.

Camping tents that are expensive have good quality fabric which keeps the tent cool and dry. If you are new to camping and are going for a short camping trip closer to home, then it is better to opt for a cheaper camping tent. If you want, you can always upgrade it later. If you are expecting inclement weather, then it is better to have a camping tent which is tough enough to handle rain, wind and the sun. For experienced campers who go to mountainous areas where the wind is very strong, a Geodesic tent is ideal.

Camping cookware is also important if you want to prepare simple, easy to cook meals for yourself and others. It is essential to go for lightweight and portable camping cookware. The cookware that a camper should have include some spoons, cooking containers, plates, forks and knives, and a camping stove. It is advisable to have pre-chopped and packed foodstuff from home and employ easy methods while cooking.

A camping stove is available in lots of varieties and selecting one becomes pretty difficult especially when you are new at camping. One type of camping stove is small, lightweight, and is meant to be carried in a backpack when you are camping far away from home. They have a single burner and can be more expensive. The other type of camping stove is meant for people camping with their cars. They are heavier than the smaller stoves and usually have two burners. These are ideal for people who give more importance to cooking. The smaller camping stoves may use white gas, that is, liquid fuel and last longer. The larger ones usually use a propane canister, and are easier to use than the smaller ones.

The camping equipment you choose can make your camping experience more enjoyable. Make sure to get them for your next camping trip and have a great time camping!

You may have seen a yurt and not known what the circular tent was called. Originally the dwellings for nomad herders in Central Asia, they are now popping up in back yards and campgrounds across North America.

Also known as a ger, the yurt is a practical form of housing used in Mongolia, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan for hundreds of years by nomadic people. They require grazing land for their sheep, so they must uproot their homes and move to greener pastures whenever the grasses in one area have been cropped to the ground. The yurt can be disassembled, loaded onto a horse, camel or yak, transported to fresh grazing land, and set up again in a timely manner.

Constructed of felted wool on a wooden lattice frame, the yurt's roof is supported by poles. Some of these round shaped tents may also have walls that are covered with canvas, which helps protect against foul weather. The design is easy to insulate to keep out the winter cold and on hot summer days the wall coverings may be rolled up to allow a cooling breeze to blow through.

Partly because of the above practical reasons, and partly because of their appealing shape, yurts have recently become popular in Europe, the USA and Canada. One may often find them being used as spaces for yoga exercising, meditation, as art studios, bodywork and aromatherapy rooms, and other purposes of a New Age or spiritual nature. People who promote yurts say they are not only economical and environmentally responsible to build, but they also have an intangible aura that makes them feel like special places. It has even been suggested that their absence of corners and sharp angles makes it impossible for evil spirits or negative energy to hide inside.

First adopted in the Pacific Northwest areas of Washington, Oregon and Northern California, yurts as unique accommodations have moved east through the mountain and plains states to the Atlantic coast. Many state campgrounds now offer yurts for rent to campers on vacation. While some of them are no-frills tents without any amenities, others come stocked like round hotel rooms with hot and cold running water, electricity, and even wireless internet connectivity.

The popularity of yurts in the western world has even spread back to their area of origin. Now there are some adventure tourism operators in Mongolia who offer fully equipped yurts as housing for travelers from around the world who want to experience the traditional dwellings as they learn about local culture.
