Basic knowledge of tents (2)

Features: Automatic tents are mostly leisure tents. Considering the needs of the public, automatic tents are mainly for family gatherings and friends going out. Because of its convenience and no crowd restrictions, automatic tents have set off a trend among young people. It is quick to open, convenient to carry and fashionable, all of which are evaluated by people who own automatic tents, which also makes traditional tents suffer some impacts. Automatic tent was introduced late in China. It is a new product and a toy for young people. However, in European and American countries, automatic tents have long been one of the necessities of families. Every Sunday holiday, quick-release tents can be seen everywhere. Nowadays, the quick-release tent has come to China, which has enlivened the domestic outdoor market, enriched the product categories and brought an understanding that the quick-release tent is not only a tent, but also an attitude towards life! Know how to live in leisure. The quality of quick-opening tents in the market is mixed and the prices are different. Low-grade quick-opening tent is about 100 yuan, which is affordable, but not cost-effective. Usually it can only be used as a disposable product, so you can try it once in a while. Good quality can be called a brand, Didi and Decathlon. Tick-tock is the upstart of the quick-release tent series. All of its products are quick-opening, with complete colors and varieties. From children's tents to multi-person tents, everything is available. Internet is its main sales channel, and Taobao, Tencent QQ, Baidu You Ya, etc. all have their presence. Looking at the buyer's comments also confirmed the quality of this product. The unbounded nature of the network makes its products spread all over the country, and also makes people have a further understanding of automatic tents. Decathlon is an outdoor supermarket brand (just like Carrefour and Auchan). Although it is not a brand mainly engaged in quickly opening tents, it is a brand that launched automatic tents earlier. Because of its traditional marketing and limited distribution, Decathlon is usually located in first-and second-tier cities. You can actually experience it, but only buy it locally. For small cities or remote areas, you can't understand and recognize it. The folding of the automatic tent is one of his main features. Can be quickly opened and closed, which is undoubtedly a relief for people who need to build tents. It's like ticking in a tent, right? It takes only 2 seconds to set up a tent, which is exciting, which was unimaginable in the past. Good automatic tents use fiberglass poles, which have high elasticity and toughness and can be folded repeatedly, so their life is relatively long. Low-quality automatic tents usually use flat steel poles, and the tent itself is lighter, but if the steel wires are twisted and cannot be restored, the tent cannot be used. Automatic tents are usually round cakes after folding, which is convenient for car owners, and some people become necessities in the trunk of cars. The price of high-quality automatic tents (usually used by 2-3 people) in the market is usually around 300-300 400 yuan. Of course, this is just for reference. If there are more types of automatic tents in the future, the price will be higher. When buying tents, the most important thing is the rainproof and windproof function of the tents themselves, and these high-quality tents can be guaranteed. Especially in terms of rain protection, it is no problem that the tent fabric is waterproof to 1000mm- 1500mm or above. What is waterproof 1000mm? It means that there is no obvious water seepage when the fabric is washed under the water pressure of 1000 mm/hour. Unless there is a crack in the sewing glue pressing part, it is unlikely to leak water under heavy rain. If the inside of the tent feels damp and cool, it may be the water vapor caused by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the tent (like an umbrella), so you should not worry about water leakage. Let's make another popular analogy: the waterproof ability of an umbrella is pu1000 mm. According to the actual field experience, the coating of PU800 can prevent moderate to moderate rain in the field environment, and the coating of PU 1000- 1200 can prevent moderate to heavy rain. In addition, some well-made brands will add some new features, such as? Sun protection. It has the function of sun protection, just like the ultraviolet protection of a sun umbrella. I believe this is an indicator that can't be ignored for beauty lovers.

Purchase of tents

Beware of tents recommended by merchants.

When you buy a tent, you will usually see the tent recommended by the merchant. These tents are usually placed in very conspicuous places, and the price discount is usually very attractive. But do these recommended tents really suit you? There are two possibilities for tents recommended by general merchants:

One is that the tent has a large inventory, but the sales volume is not ideal. In order to sell all the products, adding recommendations can sell it better and clean up the inventory better.

The second is that this tent product really sells well, but when you want to buy it, you will find that it will be associated with many peripheral products, so the merchants sell not this tent, but the peripheral products of this product, so everyone must pay attention to whether the product really sells well in the market when choosing the recommended tent.

Beware of tent merchants playing with word skills

For every business selling tents, there will be some descriptions of text or picture posters, so that people can fully understand the appearance, functions, advantages and disadvantages of this tent. Although everyone thinks that this description is very detailed, they can get to know the tent they want to buy more quickly, but in fact they have certain skills.

For general products, the introduction is often exaggerated. The actual function is not so complete, and efforts will be made to increase the function or effect on the text.

In fact, this trick is often very useful. Because people don't know or have a little knowledge about tents, after the description of the merchants, it will become that this product is only effective in the sky.

Beware of merchants deducting tent gifts and accessories.

In order to better promote sales, merchants often give away tent accessories, which is very common and has a very good effect. However, this is not the case in actual purchase, and often the gifts and accessories promised by merchants are not fulfilled one by one.

They often say that gifts are out of stock or just take them away. It is understood that many customers will be confiscated by businesses even if they give promotional gifts without asking.

Therefore, everyone should ask whether there are gifts and whether they are available before buying a tent, which can better prevent the merchants from saying that there are no gifts or deceiving consumers after you buy a tent.

Beware of seduction and lobbying techniques.

Please be careful that some unscrupulous shops use inducements to promote sales. This dishonest sales method aims to persuade consumers to change their purchase decisions and buy other tents promoted by stores, thus gaining benefits. In order to protect yourself, you should choose a store with a clear price, compare the market price, understand the characteristics of the goods, find out the accessories included in the price, and check whether the goods are intact before buying.

Warm reminder: When checking out, you should check the shopping receipt in time to see whether the actual payment amount is consistent with the marked price, and keep the shopping receipt or receipt so that it can be used as evidence of rights protection in case of disputes. Once you find that the goods or prices are not worthy of the name, you should negotiate with the supermarket in time. If negotiation fails, it shall promptly report to the price, industry and commerce, consumer associations and other relevant units to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests according to law.

Handling and cleaning of tents

How to carry it

Of all the equipment we need to carry when we go out, the tent may be the biggest and heaviest. How to put it in place is absolutely important.

Every tent is equipped with packaging bags for sale, and many people are used to putting tents in packaging bags. Not to mention, it's very troublesome to fold. Tent is often the largest piece of all our equipment, and the space of backpack is limited, except sleeping bag and damp-proof pad.

What's more, the packaging bags of many tents are long and tubular, so if you use a smaller backpack, it may not fit. Hang the tent outside the backpack? This seems to be a good way to save space, but it is not the case. This guy can easily get you into trouble outside,

The tent is very heavy, and it is not easy to tie it outside the backpack vertically, unless it is like wrapping brown seeds; Crossing the past, if you need to drill a forest on the route, it is easy to get caught by branches, and it will be miserable if you are not careful. then what The best way is to give up the constraints brought by the manufacturer's design, throw away the outer bag of the tent and use a large sleeping bag cover instead.

You don't have to fold it when you collect it. Stuff it into a sleeping bag cover like a sleeping bag. If you want to save volume, you can add a sleeping bag compression belt outside to reduce the volume. It looks barbaric, doesn't it? ! In this way, the stored sleeping bag becomes a ball from the original long tube, and it is easy to arrange the position in the backpack.

Another advantage of this is that when it is randomly filled, the position of each fold is random. If it is folded neatly for the sake of beauty before it can be stored in the original tent bag, the position of each fold is fixed, and it is easy to age first after a long time. After the tent is solved, the remaining tent poles are much easier to say. It is easy to put vertically in the backpack or hang outside the backpack.

The rough bottom of the tent will scratch your hand when you plug it in ~ ~ Fold the inside tent, which is not too big, and put it on the sleeping bag in your backpack. The tent pole is not easy to break when it is put into the bag on one side of the carrying system; The outer tent is lightly placed on the surface of the items in the backpack, which can be waterproof. When it rains, it can be quickly taken out as a poncho. If it is 225, the tent pole can be taken out and installed as a canopy or cooking hall. The tent bag can be used as a damp-proof cushion cover. It will save some money to roll the moisture-proof pad and aluminum thin pad together and hang them outside the backpack.
