The wall tent revolution

For those of you who have been camping in a small nylon micro tent, the wall tent will be a revelation. Rather than trying to make do with a tent that is about 1 meter high, the wall tent is shaped more like a house. It has, as the name implies, walls which can be anywhere up to a meter and a half high.

This means that a wall tent gives you more overall space, which makes it nicer to live inside, even if it is only temporarily. On the other hand, it does make it more difficult to heat, due to the larger area, and volume. So, either heavier sleeping bags, or a portable heater will be needed to make sure that you remain comfortable in slightly colder climates.

One use for a wall tent is as a place to eat or congregate whilst on a camping holiday. It is simply more comfortable for people to be able to stand under the tent rather than crawl around on their hands and knees. So, it becomes a viable alternative to a caravan or similar home away from home.

The best place to use a wall tent is on a public campsite. They do not tend to pack up very small, so carrying them in a backpack will probably not be possible, unless the load can be spread around many people. The chances are good, however, that you will be able to fit enough people inside the tent to make this a viable option.
