Tent Camping Tip Tyvek as a Ground Cloth


By far the best Tent Camping Tip I can give anyone is Tyvek. This versatile protective material is durable, water proof, wind proof and extremely strong and lite weight. Tyvek can be used as a ground cloth, Shelter or emergency sleeping bag or rain poncho. This material only comes in 100 foot rolls from Home Depot and home improvement centers, BUT you can find it on eBay for under $2.00 for a 1 foot by 10 foot cut to your desired length. With a $2.00 bag of grommets you can have light weight multi purpose piece of tent camping gear for under $20.00.

Mountain Hardwear EV2 Expedition Tent

The Future Of Tent Construction
Been To The 7 Summits And Back
The Mountain Hardwear EV2 is a four season tent that will protect you from the elements and the worst of the worst weather. Mountain Hardwear Tents have survived Mt Everest with many expedition companies like Alpine Accents

EV 2
Designed to Ed Viesturs' specifications for a compact, light, strong, two-person tent, the EV2™ is purposefully designed for the rigors of high altitude expeditions. EV2’s trim design fits on ledges, and its clip set-up aids high-wind pitches. VX02 fabric - a lightweight, strong, non-stretch laminate - stabilizes and strengthens when pitched, and Atlas Scandium XL poles add sturdiness while shaving weight. Interior zip and built in ventilation help frost management while integrated vestibule provides protection from the elements.
