Choosing a Toilet Tent
When embarking upon a camping trip or any outdoors adventure, be it a family holiday or a weekend music festival, there is no doubt that nobody wants to be caught out without the use of toilet facilities. Often privacy can be hard to find and so to avoid any potentially embarrassing situations it is important that you come prepared. This means bringing along a portable camping toilet and a toilet tent in which to gain privacy from the outside world. A toilet tent can also double up as a shower tent, with conveniently located openings for a water pipe built in. Even when not needed for its primary functions you can be sure that it will make a great storage facility.
There are various toilet tents on todays market, which are available at more than reasonable prices, some will even double up and house two portable camping toilets. Most are waterproof and relatively lightweight making it an easy addition to your camping gear that you can rely upon. Should you be thinking of taking a camping trip then you will find a great range at Toilet Tent.
In general it is best to find a toilet tent with a sloping roof as this will help to keep water from settling and leaking through. You may also find double skinned products which are very good as the double barrier gives that extra level of protection from the elements. Also try to ensure it has a waterproof groundsheet. Ideally the tent will also feature fibre glass poles to make it as lightweight as possible. Luminous guy ropes also help to prevent you tripping up when making that midnight stop in the dark.
Following this simple advice will help you pick out a more than adequate toilet tent and will ensure you don’t get caught short in the outdoors.
Making Use of a Bivi Bag
The advantages of choosing a bivi bag as your form of insulation and protection from the elements are numerous. Whether you are a weekend camper or a serious mountaineer, it’s always a good idea to have a bivi ready. Should you happen to become stranded unexpectedly and be forced to face a night outdoors, a bivi will keep you warm and dry, taking up very little space in your backpack and also adding only a little a weight, which will be barely noticeable when compared to that of a tent.
