  • Spending a night or 2 camping can be an exciting way to enjoy the outdoors, but there are a few pieces of equipment and things you need to know, that will ensure your trip is an enjoyable experience. In this video guide, we explore the world of Family camping and offer up some helpful tips and hints to those first time campers.
    The first tent which we look at is the Hi Gear Atakama 5. It is a classic dome design, and like all dome tents it offers a good compromise between internal space and stability. With most family dome tents they come with fiber glass poles which are suitable for most conditions and keep the cost of the tent down. Whereas, alloy poles tend to be stronger and more durable, but they are more expensive and are mostly supplied with high-end tents.
    Another popular design is the tunnel tent. In the video, we demonstrate why they are generally the quickest tent to pitch and give you a lot of space, especially headroom that extends the length of the tent. But its important to remember to always peg out the guy lines on a tunnel tent, regardless of the conditions, also it's worth trying to pitch a tunnel with either the tail, or nose into the wind.
    Choosing the right tent for your family is an important decision that will help provide days and weeks of enjoyment.
    Happy Camping!

    What a beautifully natural video. You just couldn't tell that it was in any way scripted. I'm definitely sure in the ''few'' out takes there were, that she wasn't calling him a ''c*nt, and he wasn't calling her a pr*ck''. The married couple from Father Ted springs to mind..

    @caitsmum04 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Pegging the groundsheet taut before you pitch? Can't do that with mine! You'd never be able to get the pins in because there isn't enough"give" to be able to bend the pole!

    as the name of this tent and where can I get it?

  • @RUNuckinfutz
    @RUNuckinfutz 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great tent. Looks roomy, But just a thought, if going camping the purpose is to get outdoors. As nice a this tent is, I'd bet the price of it would buy a pretty decent pop-up camper from Craigslist that would take less time to set up. Also, the guylines (mantraps) could be a problem with youngsters running around.

  • @GOOutdoorsTV
    @GOOutdoorsTV  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Unfortunately in the England it's against the law to pitch up a tent where ever you like, you have to go to specially marked campsites. You can still 'wild camp' in a lot of Scotland however.
    The accessories range in comfort, depending on what people are comfortable with. Not everybody camps with a full range of kit.

    • @bingleybiker6643
      @bingleybiker6643 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Youre wrong. Its not illegal. Its trespassing which is a civil matter. If youre asked to leave and dont ( or return after ) then its a criminal offence

    • @ShigarakisBesties
      @ShigarakisBesties 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@bingleybiker6643 yep...I either ask permission if I think the land may be owned by someone but if its a public park I don't bother.i like to camp on the beach and I've never once been confronted in years

    • @ShigarakisBesties

    @Mightdreadbed 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    This comment made me laugh. I'm originally from the USA and did a lot of proper camping as a child with scouts and family. Now, I live in the UK and find camping over here very very different. A big grass field with a shop and playground nearby? Still, now I have two children I am not complaining.

    ...is that camping in the UK? Pitching a tent in a landscaped field next to a lake, having brought multiple appliances along? I agree with another poster, just buy a Coleman pop-up camper and be done with it.

    half of my tent was made in 1951, the other half was made in 1953, both saw service in the korean war, then were re sold on the civilian market, where i bought them, and had them ever since, no need for one of those circus tents

      recommend Castlerigg Farm campsite to, above Keswick. I know Sykeside, a bit expensive if I remember. Also.. Hawkshead Old Hall campsite is very good, (open till Jan.) a gentle walk into the village. Happy camping
