Hi, I’m Chloé – a tent-obsessed hiker, trail-lover, and outdoor staycation junkie. I started this site to help people like you find honest, real-world reviews of tents that actually hold up in the wild (and not just in a showroom). I’ve pitched more tents than I can count — through rain, wind, and those perfect golden-hour evenings — and I’m here to share what works, what doesn’t, and what’s worth your money. When I’m not testing gear, you’ll find me chasing trails with my @dacia_uk Adventure crew, layering up in my favorite pieces from @acaioutdoorwear, or planning my next AllTrails adventure. Thanks for stopping by — hope you find your perfect shelter under the stars.

  • Are Buddy Heaters Safe In Tents

    ByChloé Bourgeois

    Buddy heaters work well inside tents but must be used with care. Always keep the tent open a little for fresh air. Place the heater on flat ground and keep it three feet away from anything that can catch fire. Check gas lines often to stop leaks. Use a carbon monoxide detector to catch dangerous gas early. Follow the heater’s instructions carefully to keep it safe. Many people use buddy heaters safely by paying close attention to these rules. Safety first keeps camping warm and worry-free.

  • Are All Tents Waterproof

    ByChloé Bourgeois

    Not all tents keep water out. Waterproof ratings show how much water a tent can block. Ratings start at 1000mm for light rain and go above 5000mm for heavy rain. Some materials, like silnylon with silicone, stop water better. Seams get sealed to stop leaks. Rainflies that cover the whole tent help too. These features make tents strong against rain. Choose a tent with these if you want to stay dry.
