St. Petersburg Police cutting up homeless tents Police officers with box cutters showed up where St. Pete's tent city residents had moved and set up. The cops slashed their tents to the ground as residents watched in shock. Now one homeless group is moving to label St. Petersburg as the 'meanest city in the nation.' Video by Tina May.

Video of Haiti storm tearing tents apart as homeless flee Heavy rain and wind in Haiti swept away dozens of tents in a camp outside the capital Port-au-Prince which houses thousands of homeless Haitians. Angry residents were forced to seek shelter elsewhere. The humber of people in relief tent camps has nearly doubled to 1.6 million, instead of shrinking. This comes as former US President Bill Clinton visited Haiti to mark the six month anniversary of January's earthquake which killed as many as 300000 people and left over a million homeless.

Best Family Tent - Coleman Montana 8 Cheaper than most family tents, but actually keeps the rain out. I'm 30 minutes north of Seattle. Just unpacked and put up the tent this morning as soon as it arrived during an hour no rain break, then it started pooring. Eight hours of rain and it's still bone dry inside out in my backyard. I can't believe a 450mm shell/tent can do that. More than enough room for our whole family, me, wife, 13yr and 1yr old daughters. Two big foam beds and a play pen to boot. I searched reviews all over the net trying to find a decent family tent and hoped the reviews I read about his one were all true, and I am happy to say they are. Coleman FN rox. The rain fly that covers the outside of the door is part of the whole rain fly (all one piece), there is actually room for three chairs to stay dry under it (picture misleads that it is smaller). I was just out there smoking a cig thinking, America still has a few great companies left that mean well for their customers. The floor is not cheap tub tarp, it's decent. But, I still got two 6 x 8 cheap carpets @ lowes. Lesson learned from years of camping if you want your tent to last. The front door is pure genius. The zippers are re-inforced and glide like butter. But, if you don't want to add tons of wear on your zipper (and we all know a tent is useless when the door zipper breaks, unless of course it's a coleman with this design), just don't zip it, and let the hinge spring it lightly shut. And the factory well placed velcro hold it shut.

Wenzel Starlite Tent Reveiw This is my Wenzel Starlite 3- season 1 man backpaking tent. It is made of 1.9 oz uerethane coated 600mm polyester. Which makes it very light weight. It features a zippered entrance with no-see-um mesh screen and a small no-see--um mesh screen at the foot for added ventalation. I have used this tent several times while backpacking and have been pleased so far. This is more of a begginer or low-budget backpackers tent. I found it on Amazon last year for about $20.00.

Ledge Recluse tent: "$85 Wilderness Hotel" by Nutnfancy This is an amazingly roomy tent. It provides an 48 sq feet of living area within a very portable 7 lbs 7 oz carry weight (and that's my upgraded carry to include tarp footprint and 10 MSR "Groundhog" tent stakes too; factory weight is listed at 6 lbs 6 oz). Add even more space for the two large vestibules that are provided by the tent fly. This roominess provided outstanding livability to us three backpackers on a wilderness adventure to high altitudes (me, son, dog). Three people could fit in a more cozy manner. Mesh integration is excellent. Pole attachment is via both clip and uncoated sleeve system. Several nights spent in the tent seem to indicate a dry, well-ventilated interior. Hard core snow and rain resistence was not tested on this trip but stake out provisions are provided for better tent strength. A very useful mesh gear loft is included along with four interior pockets (albeit they are not tightly sewn. Many parts of the Recluse are seam sealed but the bottom tent seam (catendary sewn) should be sealed by the user. The vestibules are well-executed and provide an incredible amount of dry gear storage area. The chosen light Mossy Green and light grey colors are excellent are provide more subdued camping and excellent, bright light filtration inside. But remember this is a sub-$100 tent so you will give up a few things in that choice. Close inspection of the "Recluse" tent model will reveal it to be a medium quality tent with compromises made to achieve that ...

"Backpacking Tents" by Nutnfancy, Part 3 PART 3 of 3 ////////////// Sleeping under the stars is a bit overrated for me. Seems the bugs attack, the critters find you, the wind blows away your body heat, frost and condensation soak your bag, then the rain falls, and no matter what your gear gets filthy. A minimalist tent tarp, bivy, or floor-less tent are some ways to avoid to some of those hassles. But my favorite option is a quality designed and constructed lightweight backpacking tent like the ones profiled in this Nutnfancy series of videos. Here I cover most of the design aspects and experience-based opinions on just such a tent. POUs, Firepower vs Mobility, Impact, Livability concerns, Longevity, Ventialtion, Maintenance, Sleeve and Pole Construction, Fabric Choices, Convenience Features, and buying sources are all covered in the series. It would be unrealistic and probably of limited use for me to review certain models since most are so shortlived in the marketplace. Instead I use category representatives and teach the features, construction, sizing, and the many considerations to arm the buyer with the knowledge to make the best purchase choice. Always buy out-of-season whenever possible to save big money; it's very possible to get a ultra-quality BP tent this way for well under $200. Take care of it and it will serve you and your family forever too. Location was the scenic and beautiful Rocky Mountains with Allie the Mountain Dog in tow.

Trail Magazine - Lightwave G2 Ionix tent New from lightweight specialist Lightwave is this spacious, 4 pole semi-geodesic tent.

Step 5: Insert one pole into its pockets Take one of the poles and place it into a corner pocket. Insert the other end of the pole into the pocket on the opposite corner of the tent.

Zephyr 2 Tent Review Reviewing the Zephyr 2 tent made by Alps Mountaineering. Purchased mine about 1.5-2 years ago and have enjoyed the tent. Does have some drawbacks to it, but certainly drawbacks I can either remedy or live with. Comes with sealed seams and urethane-coated fly and floor. Two alloy aluminum poles (and one small one for stability) with a clip to tent system help to set up quickly (does have small portion of the ol' sleeve for the poles. However only 1.5 to 2 feet worth). All mesh sides help for great ventilation. But where I go I always have the fly on as one never knows when the moisture will roll in overnight and very suddenly. Price at this point is pretty good. Just a quick search online came up with prices from $100 - $150. Not bad at all and I have no problems recommending the tent, especially at that price. I paid more for mine when it first came out...honestly I would jump all over this tent for $100.

Gear Review: Fly Creek UL1 Tent by Big Agnes I review and field test the Fly Creek UL1 tent made by Big Agnes. I couldn't find a review of this tent before I bought it, so I made this video for the next guy. Sorry the sound is low. Please turn up your volume. I don't know who Big Agnes is, but I wonder if she can fit in this tent? UPDATE: June 2009. I have spent over ten nights on the trail in this tent now and my initial durability worries are fading somewhat. This amazing material actually is quite tough despite it's thinness. UPDATE: July 2009. The tent survived another six nights without any signs of wear. I was on the PCT in Oregon this time. The mosquitoes were horrible in some areas and I pitied my buddies who got eaten alive under their tarps. UPDATE: June 2010. I just hiked the Lost Coast with this tent again. it is still in perfect condition. One night I pitched it on sharp rocks in very windy conditions. I had to place boulders on top of the tent stakes. To my surprise it held up without a scratch. This little guy is tougher than I expected.

REI Quarter Dome T2+ tent: "Alpine Superstar" by Nutnfancy When the hike is steep and long, experienced hikers will look to shave weight. A key target: your choice of shelter. Some will go minimalist with just a tarp or rain fly but I always prefer the tent for its comfort, bug, snake resistence, and total wind and weather proofness. So for these hikes a very light tent is in order. All manufacturers lowball their tent weights; I find them to be about 1 lb underrated. Therefore a quality 2-person tent often weighs about 6.5 lbs. The REI Quarterdome T2 Plus (extended version of the regular Quarterdome) breaks those ranks with a 5 lb tent (about 5 lbs 5 oz after stake, footprint, guyline upgrades that I do). For a tent providing 35 square feet of livability and 15 square feet of vesitbule storage area, that is an achievement (the T3 Plus will have 47+15 sq ft but is heavier). The Quarterdome T2 Plus packs small and carries easily in its compression strap equipped olive drab stuff sack. The 94"x54" living area is size efficient (rectangular is my favorite) but may lack the ultimate room that heavier tents provide, especially noted in the width dimension. This floor plan pitches more easily in confined areas. The ventilation of the Quarterdome T2 Plus (and all Quarterdome tents) is outstanding and the 100% clip pole attachments help here. There is excellent mesh integration along with impressive and functional fly vents with stable velcro "standoffs" which are adjustable and keep them open. Zipper quality, overall stitiching, stress ...

SACRAMENTO, CA: THE PEOPLE OF TENT CITY A LOOK INSIDE TENT CITY: You may have heard about Tent Cities sprawling up across America. Middle class American families, who have lost their jobs and homes are pitching tents. They are the new faces of homelessness in America. Many of them are having a hard time finding a job during this down economy. When I heard the news that a Tent City was rapidly growing in my hometown of Sacramento, just outside of downtown, along the American River, I had to visit and find out more about these families. You may be thinking this isn't an inspiring story, however, I'm sure you'll be surprised after watching this video. I found that, while many tent city dwellers lost most of their material possessions, they haven't lost their sense of self. Many were hopeful, grateful and were full of dreams.

Backpacking & family car camping tents - MSR Hubba Hubba and Big Agnes Pine Island 4 Just a quick look at two tents for different types of camping. When backpacking, equipment weight is your main concern. Backpacking tents are made of lighter materials and usually pack down smaller than tents used for car camping, meaning you pull up to your campsite and pitch your tent few feet from it. Car camping tents are sometimes referred to as family camping tents. These can be larger and weight and bulk isn't much of an issue since you are not hauling it on your back along with the rest of your gear. Quality tents last longer and are usually more weatherproof than your average store brand tent purchased from your local department store that also sells diapers and lawn equipment. Look for tents that are seam sealed and that have a ranfly that goes all the way down to the ground for better rain protection. A footprint or groundcloth is also recommended to prolong the life of the tent and also adds an extra layer between you and the ground for added insulation. A sleeping mat or air mattress is recommend both for comfort and also keeps you insulated from the ground. A sleeping bag rounds off your basic overnight sleeping accommodations. Synthetic is heavier, but performs better in humid or wet conditions, and down is lighter and compresses down smaller for transport. Mummy style bags are warmer than the standard rectangular configuration. Practice setting up your tent at home before heading out. Setting up in the dark or rain for practice may not be a bad idea either ...
