The Blacktail 3 2020 has two doors and a maximum center height of 3' 8, which is a little bit smaller than the average height of the 140 different 3 person tents we have studied. With 44 square feet of space inside, it is a little bit smaller than some other 3-person tents, and it could be a little tight for you and, up to two other campers all through the 3-seasons, this tent is approved for use in, smaller tents similar to this one make a suitable choice for people who welcome spending plenty of hours outside the tent exploring.

Many of the fantastic things about dome tents are, that they are for, the most part lightweight, making them easy to carry around. In nearly all cases, tents used for backpacking are of the dome type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In calm weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is suggested.

Dome tents are without a doubt the most commonly seen of all the various sorts of tents you will find when camping. They tend to fair better in the rain than other types, allowing water to easily slide off the slanted walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the roof. The simplest dome tent will have a rectangular floor, slanted sides two or more poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to their construction, it is generally thought of that they are ideal for up to a maximum of 6 people.
