How to keep the tent fixed and the wind can't move? Is it better to choose a round or square outdoor tent?

Outdoor sports, such as camping, mountaineering, hiking, etc. If it is a long time, or if you are going to spend the night outside, you should prepare a tent. The role of a tent is nothing more than shelter from the wind and rain, so the tent must be fixed. The choice of tent is also to do well.

How to fix the tent so that the wind can't blow? The first thing to pay attention to when choosing a camp is to choose a leeward place. Don't choose the position of the tuyere such as the ridge and saddle of the mountain. Choosing places with prominent terrain or trees can effectively reduce the wind intensity.

Second, choose a suitable tent before you leave. If you know the strong winds you may encounter before you leave, you should choose a tent with strong structure and strong resistance to strong winds.

Generally, do not choose a single-level account or a wedge-shaped account. Choose a dome account or a wedge-shaped account for a double-level account. In extreme cases, choose a suitable mountain account.

Third, when camping, the minimum projection surface of the tent should face the possible wind direction. Reducing the wind direction projection surface can effectively improve the wind power of the tent. For example, if you use a tunnel account, the "tunnel" direction should follow the wind direction.

Fourth, pull the wind rope. Generally, tents that can withstand strong winds will be equipped with windproof ropes, and all windproof ropes should be tightened and fixed when camping. The direction of the wind rope should generally follow the tangent direction of the tent edge, and the other end of the wind rope should be fixed on a solid object, such as trees and big stones. At the same time, you can also use big stones to hold down the corners of the tent.

If there is nothing to fix around, nail it with the ground. There are many kinds of grounding nails. Ordinary nails and T-shaped nails are widely used in land and debris terrain, while flat wedges are suitable for sand or snow. Insert the ground nail towards the tent, insert it into the ground at an angle of 45 degrees with the ground, and then fix the wind rope on it. If the snow is too soft or there is no nail, you can try your best to make a T-shaped anchor in the snow.

Choose round tent or square tent according to the structure: dome tent/wedge tent/tunnel tent is more common, but the wind resistance of tunnel tent is better than the first two, and wedge tent is the worst.

According to the number of people: single account/double account/three account/four account/multiple account, according to the demand, try to choose the principle of light weight while meeting the applicable requirements.

When purchasing, choose a suitable tent according to the budget and consider the use requirements, such as:

If the user is two people and goes hiking in the plain area, a single-story three-season account for two people can meet the demand in most cases;

If mountaineering companies buy tents for high-altitude mountaineering, they usually choose double-deck alpine tents with 3-4 people.

According to the applicable season: Three-season tent/mountain tent is light in texture, suitable for hiking from spring to autumn, not suitable for cold and snowy mountain environment.

Alpine tents, also known as Four Seasons tents, are heavy, expensive and sturdy in structure. They can resist cold and snow, and are suitable for harsh environments at high altitudes.

According to the number of floors: single-layer account/double-layer account is waterproof and breathable than single-layer account, which can provide a more comfortable sleeping environment. The inner tent of the double-layer tent is breathable but not waterproof, and the outer tent is waterproof and breathable, and there is a distance between them, so that the water vapor generated during sleeping can be discharged from the tent smoothly.

What should I pay attention to when using tents? When choosing a camp, you should choose a relatively flat ground and clean up sharp objects such as gravel under the tent. Although the fabric at the bottom of the tent is generally thickened, it is still easy to be cut and worn. If possible, you can carry a piece of plastic cloth (floor cloth) and spread it under the tent, which can not only protect the tent, but also isolate the moisture and keep warm.

Remember to connect the tent poles when setting up the tent and push them into the opening of the tent. The same is true when dismantling the tent. One way to do this is to prevent the tent poles from separating from each other and being difficult to pull out, but to prevent the separated tent poles from scratching the tent.

Don't wear shoes into the tent when living in the camp, wear mountain boots and don't put the outer layer of double boots into the tent. Doing so can prevent sand and gravel from entering the tent and scratching the base fabric.

Shake the tent upside down before dismantling it, and shake out all the sundries in the tent. When double-deck accounts are collected, the outer account is wrapped in the inner account, and the bottom cloth of the inner account is placed on the outermost side for protection.

Maintenance tents need to be thoroughly air-dried and put away after each use to prevent mildew, but generally do not expose tents to the sun.

Tents can be cleaned with water or mild detergent. Be careful not to brush the surface of the tent with a hard brush, and don't let the tent come into contact with chemical reagents such as pesticides, which will destroy the breathable and waterproof coating on the surface of the tent.
