Shelters are basically anything that will protect you from the weather and/or bugs. I have several tents that vary in size and weight. When deciding which shelter is right for you consider the following.

​

Choose the right shelter for your trip

• What are the camping options? (Dispersed or Developed)

• What is the weather forecasted?

• What is the bug situation?

• How many people?

• Dogs?

​

Single or Double wall?

• A single-wall tent basically means that the tent has no removable rain fly. It's all one piece.

• A double-wall tent has a removable rain fly and a mesh tent body.

​

Freestanding or non-freestanding?

• A freestanding tent has stand-alone tent poles and doesn't require guy lines.

• A nonfreestanding tent uses other things for support. Most common is the trekking pole setup that uses guy lines.
