The Pop-Up Tent is a Thing of Beauty!

Oh, the joys of tent camping!

Do I sound insincere or maybe a little tongue-in-cheek?

If so, it’s because although I love camping, and I thoroughly enjoy tent camping---I loathe putting up the tent!

Some people can just jump in there and have that tent all put together righty-tighty in a matter of minutes.

Not me.

Most of the time, I end up wearing the tent at some point, after it has collapsed all around and onto me.

I enjoy sleeping in a tent. I do not enjoy wearing a tent.

So, what is the solution for people like me, who are tent-challenged?

The solution to this extremely vexing problem, my friends, is to buy a user friendly tent!

Yes, such a thing really does exist. It’s called a Pop-Up Tent.

You literally simply throw it up in the air and Poof!---it pops out and comes back down to earth as a tent, ready to go.

It doesn’t get any easier than that!

The down side to this, though, is that it takes considerably longer to disassemble and re-pack the pop-up tent when it’s time to go home.

Still, for my part, I’d much rather cross that packing-up-to-leave bridge when I come to it, instead of wrestling with putting up a tent that’s fighting back as soon as I reach my camp site.

There are several reputable companies that manufacture and sell good, durable pop-up tents.

If you are all thumbs in the Tent Assembly event---check out a pop-up tent, you’ll love it!
