Four-Person Tent Reviews
We're reviewing five Four Person Tents because we feel that if your going to pack a tent to the bush, it might as well have enough room to stay in, even if there is only one or two of you. This way there is room to put extra stuff in the tent instead of leaving it outside to get wet in case it rains or snows. Also, if you want to set up a cot, there's room to set up two of them in these tents. Some of these tents do not come with a fly (to keep the rain out), I always carry a couple of tarps when I go tenting, one over the tent and one over the portable table, to eat in the shade or out of the rain. These are all dome tents and are made of polyester with some nylon in order to keep the weight down to a minimum. These all have a floor and inside storage pockets. These tents are great for the hiker or the occasional camper. If you're going to be out there for a long period of time, then get a good canvas tent and get set up properly, you'll thank me later.
