My friend is a real traditionalist and whenever he goes camping he always likes to use traditional camping materials. When I accompanied him on his trip last year he told me that I should buy a Canvas Waterproof Tent, because he believed they are the best type of tents you can buy, even though they may be a little bit more difficult to setup. I went ahead and took his advice and although I did have some difficulty in setting up the tent it was a very enjoyable camping trip indeed and I will certainly accompany him again.
