Mountain tents
If you camp in cold weather, or in more exposed places,
then you'll need a strong tent. Ridge and geodesic dome
tents are the best designs for this kind of situation. The
dome's self-supporting structure means you don't have to
use guylines in moderate weather, and their shape offers
more room. If you do a lot of camping, and occasionally
do so in the backcountry, or in bad weather, then a two or
three-person dome tent is a very good option.
Entrance
The door is double-zipped,
and can be rolled back,
allowing cooking in the
vestibule in bad weather.
There is an entrance at the
other end, to stow gear.
Some dome models also
have an extended vestibule
for the harshest conditions.
