Tent carrying method

Jan 11, 2023

Of all the equipment we need to carry when we go out, the tent is probably the largest and heaviest. How to put it in place is absolutely important.
Each tent will be sold with a package, and many people are used to putting the tent in it. Not to mention that it is very troublesome to fold it neatly and put it in. The collected tent is often the largest of all our equipment, and the space of the backpack is limited. In addition to it, there are two large pieces of sleeping bags and moisture-proof pads.
What's more troublesome is that many tent bags are in a long tube shape. If you use a slightly smaller backpack, it may not fit in. Hang the tent outside your backpack? It seems to be a good way to save space, but it is not. This guy is easy to cause you trouble outside,
The tent is very heavy, and it is not easy to bind it firmly when hanging outside the backpack, unless it is like wrapping palm; Horizontally, if you need to drill into the woods on the route, it is easy to get caught by the branches. If you are not careful to be scratched by the branches again, you will be miserable. What can we do? The best way is to give up the shackles brought by the manufacturer's design - discard the outer bag of the tent and use a large sleeping bag cover instead.
Don't bother to fold it when you collect it. Just put it into the sleeping bag cover like a sleeping bag. If you want to save volume, add a sleeping bag compression bag outside to reduce the volume. (It looks barbaric?!) In this way, the sleeping bag is changed from the original long tube into a ball, which can be put into the backpack to arrange the position.
Another advantage of this is that the position of each fold is random. If you only fold it neatly for the sake of beauty, you can receive it in the original tent bag. The position of each fold is fixed, and this part is easy to age first after a long time. After the tent is settled, the remaining tent poles are much easier to say. It is easy to put them vertically in the backpack or hang them outside the backpack.
The rough bottom of the tent will scratch your hands when it is stuffed into it.~It's better to fold the inner tent into a few folds and pad it on the sleeping bag in the backpack; When the tent pole is placed in the bag against the shoulder system, it is not easy to break; The outer tent is placed on the surface of the items in the backpack, which can be waterproof. When it rains, it can be quickly pulled out as a poncho. If it is 225, it can also be pulled out as a canopy or a cooking hall; The tent bag can be used as a moisture-proof cushion cover. The moisture-proof cushion and aluminum thin cushion roll can be stuffed inside and hung outside the bag, which can save a little money.
