When I think of my favorite outdoor sport camping comes immediately to mind. I have invested lots of money into camping and hiking equipment and I have this to tell you: Buying tents can be confusing! Get the right tent, and you can expect years of leak less shelter from any storm you might encounter. Get a tent that isn't durable enough for your needs, or one that is so overbuilt you could use it on K2, and you'd probably be financially better off if you had opted for expensive hotels instead of camping. Outdoor enthusiasts are accustomed to dropping big money on Gore-Tex jackets, double plastic Telemark boots, and sleek new skis with radical side cuts. But for some reason, people tend to balk at investing in tents. Sure, a backyard nylon or canvas tent can be bought for around $100, but take it into the back country, and you're courting a world of misery. A fierce wind, a flash hailstorm, or a drenching downpour tests the mettle of any tent, especially if it is not built to take abuse. Smart shoppers know that a tent is a capital investment, not good for just one or two seasons, but if properly treated, capable of years of service.
