How to buy a tent
Most camping websites do the 'how to choose tent' routine. So I was thinking I'd do the same. But then I hit myself on the head with a hammer and it came to me - trying to give advice on how to choose the one perfect tent is like trying to give advice on 'how to choose the best noodle' at the local Chinsess takeway - it simply can't be done.
In the real world, it doesn't matter what sort of tent you take with you. Sometimes it will be ok but other times you'll need a different tent. And then next time a different tent again would be better. So if you buy just one you'll always be living in a compromised camping experience.
At mycampgear.com compromise is not an option.
The solution?
Buy more tents.
Don't over think it. Just go into a camping shop, surf ebay or go to a garage sale and just buy the first one that you go 'yeah, I like that.'
And then do the same next month. And the next month...

Thanks for that. You just cost me a whole lot of money!
I want a 1 Kg tent, that sleeps 3, is 4 season, very waterproof, keeps me warm in snow, breezy in the heat and has a button so I can choose it's colour for the day.

Can't agree with you more Dion. I might go and look at few more tents online now.
He with the most toys wins! It could not be more true. I have just ordered my second tent, and a swag is likely on the way sometime soon.
Go the swag - I've had one for 20 years and it's still going. Great for hiking... in a 4WD.
Got my Burke and Wills swag the other day. I love it.
