Customer Review: The most awesome tent ever!
We set this tent up for a practice run on a windy day in the park and it was surprisingly fast and easy. Out first time actually camping was fabulous. The tent is so roomy and the best part is my very tall husband can stand up and even walk around inside.
Customer Review: Copper Canyon 1512: spacious, dry (mostly)
We took this tent to a medieval reenactment event. Pros: Size. This tent was large enough and to spare for us. We take a queen size air mattress, which takes up a lot of floor space in most tents. We also made up a dog bed for our 50 lb dog next to ours. Still had plenty of space for gear, food, and clothes. The ceiling height of the tent was awesome as well. My hubby is very tall and he could walk around in the tent without stooping. This has the highest ceiling of any modern tent I could find. Setup was accomplished in short order by four men. It wouldn't have taken that many, but who can say no to offered help? Dry. We stayed dry when many of our neighbors did not. It rained lightly, but steadily for about 36 hours. There was some dampness from water seeping up from beneath the tent. The seepage occurred where we had been walking in the tent. I don't think any other tent would have performed better. Shape. The cabin style blended in a bit better with the period tents than a dome or other modern tent. Ventilation was good. No condensation to speak of. Cons: Guy lines. The orange guy lines tended to blend in with the brown earth, making them hard to see. At least one broke because someone walked through it. I will be replacing those with a brighter color. Awning. The awning seemed pointless to me. It may have helped shield the door from the rain. However, it was very good at catching/holding rain water, probably about 5 gallons worth. The poles held up just fine even under the strain of 40 extra pounds. Stakes. We didn't use the ones that came with the tent, so I can't comment on those. All in all a great tent for our needs. We still have plenty of room inside for our growing family (bun in the oven). I expect this tent to suit us for many years to come. There were a few minor nuisances, but I am extremely pleased with the performance of this tent. If it hadn't been for this tent, we would have left the event early as the conditions were miserable.

Money for traveling, even if it is not the most important part of a trip, failing in planning it properly can leave us with some disgusting surprises, as running out of it or simply spending a lot more than were able to forecast. Let's take a look at how an appropriate budgeting should be done to know how much money for traveling do we need.

The first thing you need to take into account is the main spending such as flights and hotel. And there's something I want to say specially when speaking about hotels. Look, if you are going to a hostel, just don't worry, probably the cost of your stay will be exactly the one shown in the paper. But if you are going to a better hotel, it is almost possible that you are going to use some of the services they offer, or possibly there will exist obligatory extra charges that you didn't expect. Is it fair? Not probably, but here I don't try to complain, but just try to let you know how to organize your money for traveling provided the real facts.

In any case, once you have added all this, there's another thing you should do that many people do in the wrong way. Many people love to include food within the traveling costs. While it is a good idea to include it in the amount of money you need to have prepared for the trip, it is not good to assume that food is costing you extra money to take your holidays. You would be eating at home if not in your holiday, and in case the country were you are going is cheaper, you will be even saving money by easting there. To calculate the money for traveling for food, the best thing is to take a look at immigration websites.

Another cost you should take into account is the one for activities. Museums, nature activities, guided tours, etc. Whatever you will be doing there that has a cost. Write the total amount in your list of money for traveling, but when planning to save money for a trip think about which extra costs you will not be doing by being away. Going to the cinema, the disco, the bowling alley... Whatever you normally do in the period of time given for your holiday.

Finally, there's one last thing you should remember for planning your money for traveling. And this one shall not be included in your trip costs, of course. When you are away you will be consuming no energy at home, doing no telephone calls, spending no water, etc. All this costs can be taken away when you are planning the savings for a holiday.
