Enjoy Winter With A Comfortable Cold Weather Camping Tent

Winter and high-elevation camping and trekking, from the rugged Karakoram and Himalayan mountains to the snowy campgrounds a few miles from your house, require layered clothing, good bedding, and a durable cold weather camping tent. Modern convertible, 4-season and expedition tents provide protection against heavy wind and snow within a good size-to-weight ratio. A light, "high tech" cold weather camping tent with sturdy fabrics and poles, superior ventilation, small pack-up size but with ample interior space can be rented or purchased.Seasonal Tent Ratings A cold weather camping tent with a "4-season" rating will provide excellent shelter for most high country and winter camping. Compared to 3-season and summer tents, winter tents feature heavier fabrics and sturdier poles to withstand higher winds and heavier snowfalls. If you enjoy camping year-around, consider a "convertible" tent, a 4-season tent that converts into a 3-season tent through the removal (or unzipping) of panels. Convertible tents are usually not as sturdy as 4-season tents. For extreme winter conditions, or high-altitudes year-around, you'll need a "mountaineering" or "expedition" 4-season tent. With additional poles, heavier materials, lower profiles, storm flaps, and reinforced loops for guy lines and pegs, expedition tents are designed to withstand blizzard conditions with near-hurricane-force winds.Tent TypesYour cold weather camping tent should be rounded and double-walled with well-supported fabric in order to shed snow and withstand the wind. Popular autumn,summer and spring camping type tents are the "tunnel" and "dome" tents. Many models are not reliable at winds present at high elevations during the winter even though they provide good space. The basic two-pole, square-base, free-standing dome tent has been strengthened into a three-pole "modified dome" having a hexagonal footprint for better stability. A "geodesic" tent (with three or more crossed tent poles) or a combination tunnel/dome style is often chosen by mountaineers. A cold weather camping tent that will withstand the worst weather conditions will have accessible gear lofts, cooking areas, a tub floor with multiple vestibules to facilitate movement in and out of the tent.High altitude and/or winter camping can be a breath taking, exhilarating experience. Life threatening weather extremes necessitate that you select clothing and equipment with careful preparation. As a cold weather camping tent will protect you against the wind and snow, you'll also want to layer your clothes so as to pull perspiration away from your skin while providing protection against the elements. Keeping hydrated and dry are of paramount importance. Pitch your tent on a good ground cloth and keep the vents open to avoid dripping condensation on the fabric surfaces. You'll also want a foam pad to sit and sleep on as well as a mummy sleeping bag or an alternative that accommodates additional liners.Your well on your way to a memorable and exciting trek through the pristine meadows along the top of the world and valleys of a winter wonderland since you have a durable, cold weather camping tent.
