2009-11-06 16:07:49 - Backpacking has become a popular pastime for the youth of today, especially with initiatives such as the Duke of Edinburgh scheme growing more popular leading young people to becoming active in expeditions and outdoor adventures. Such adventures require a specialist type of camping equipment that can cope with poor weather conditions. Also the tents need to pack down small enough to fit in a rucksack without weighing as much as a baby elephant. Lightweight tents also need to be robust, reliable and durable to ensure that they are capable of meeting ever growing customer needs and demands.
