Going on a backcountry hunting adventure? Here’s the gear you need for a successful trip

#6  TENT

At the end of a long day of trekking, no one needs the frustration of a tent that’s difficult to set up (or tough to pack up in the morning). With that in mind, look for a tent that’s either semi-freestanding or freestanding, complete with a waterproof fly and floor with taped seams. It should also have at least one easy-access door, a vestibule for storage, super-strong lightweight poles and reinforcements in key areas. As well, it must be able to withstand strong winds, and offer bug protection and plenty of ventilation. A one-person tent should weigh less than two pounds, while a two-person should not exceed three.
