A tent is one of the camping essentials that provides shelter against the blasting sun or pouring rain. It was used as a mobile home for the itinerants but is now frequently used for camping and temporary protection from the weather and possible animal attacks. A camping tent has several types to choose from based on your expertise and the number of people.
