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.

  • How To Keep Bugs Out Of Tent

    ByChloé Bourgeois

    Keep bugs out of your tent by using strong 15 denier Ultra-Sil™ Nano™ fabric. Use no-see-um mesh to block tiny insects. Set your tent on high ground, away from still water and thick plants. Clean your campsite well. Store food in sealed containers to avoid attracting bugs. Cut tall grass near your tent. Use amber or red LED lights. These lights attract fewer insects. Apply DEET or natural bug repellents on your skin. Always close tent zippers tightly. Enter and exit carefully to stop bugs from coming inside. These steps help you enjoy a bug-free camping experience.

    ByChloé Bourgeois

    Start by placing a footprint under your tent. Add a ground tarp to stop cold from seeping in. Use closed-cell foam pads on the floor to keep heat trapped. Attach quilted polyester or thermal foil to the tent walls. These materials reflect warmth back inside. Hang fleece blankets on the walls for extra insulation. Leave a small air gap to stop dampness from building. Point the tent’s narrow end into the wind to block cold air. Use sleeping bags rated for cold weather for better warmth. Bring hot water bottles or hand warmers to stay cozy. These steps can make winter camping much more comfortable.

    Pick a flat, dry spot for your tent. Avoid low areas and falling branches. Clear sticks and rocks from the ground. Spread out the tent footprint. Put the poles together and slide them into the sleeves. Raise the tent carefully. Push the stakes into the ground at a 45-degree angle. This keeps the tent strong in wind. Clip on the rainfly. Make sure it covers the tent edges well. Open the vents to let air flow. Good airflow stops moisture inside. A well-set tent means a dry, comfy night outside.

    ByChloé Bourgeois

    Hold down a canopy tent on concrete using heavy weights. Use sandbags or concrete blocks to keep it steady. Buckets filled with gravel or concrete mix work well and move easily. Tie ropes or straps to the tent frame. Attach these to eye bolts or kettlebells for strong hold. For long-term use, try concrete anchors or hooked cinder blocks. Spread weights evenly on all tent legs to keep balance. This stops the tent from wobbling or blowing away during events. Follow these steps to make your tent safe and stable. Stronger setups mean fewer problems.

    Clean the tent well. Remove dirt and dry it completely. Take out stakes and poles next. Spread the tent flat on the ground. Zip all doors and windows closed. Fold the tent lengthwise in half. Then fold it into thirds or quarters. Lay the rainfly flat too. Fold it lengthwise and roll it tight. Pack the tent and rainfly into a compression bag. This keeps everything neat and saves space. Good folding protects your tent and makes it last longer. Keep practicing to get faster and neater each time.
