Vango Tents – Let The Adventure Begin!

We at Outdoor World Direct supply a wide range of tents for more extreme camping conditions. The Expedition Kit section of our catalogue is recommended by the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme (D of E) – a charity we are particularly proud to support.

Established in 1956, the scheme is aimed at young people between the ages of 14 and 25. It is divided into bronze, silver and gold stages, each of which has four elements. The Expedition element is an important part of this. At each level, entrants must plan, train for and complete "an adventurous journey in the UK or abroad." Whether this is hiking the Pennines or kayaking in the Rockies, it invariably involves rough, even mountainous, terrain, and extreme conditions.

To facilitate this, the D of E has prepared a recommended kit list, which includes tents, sleeping bags, rucksacks and such like. We at Outdoor World Direct stock a range of D of E recommended equipment, which includes Vango tents, sleeping bags and rucksacks.

Why are Vango tents so ideal for the D of E? Well, firstly because they offer excellent value for money – an important factor, as those buying the tents are often schools, youth groups and students. Secondly, Vango have been making high quality tents for over 40 years, specialising in the more rugged end of the market. They manufacture a number of styles, each designed for a specific purpose – but all with rugged functionality in mind. Thus their family camping tents will have different specifications to those sold for mountaineering – but be just as durable.

Vango is constantly improving and updating their products, using the latest technology. Their TBS banding system, for example, ensures their tents will stay secure in the strongest of gales. The result is tents that are totally suited to the rigours of outdoor living, whether it be a family campsite or a mountainside. Those buying Vango tents for expeditions can be confident they will stand up to the worst of conditions, yet be roomy and comfortable, too.

In order for their kit to be Duke of Edinburgh Award recommended, Vango have had to prove their tents can cover the most extreme conditions, yet be suitable for a 14 year-old to carry and erect unaided. They have done this admirably. The Banshee, for example, is a solid, compact little tent that, like all Vango Expedition tents, is specially shaped to stand up to severe weather conditions. It is pitched "outer first", giving maximum protection from the elements in the least possible time, and weighs less than 3 kg.

The Typhoon, like the Tempest, Hurricane and Tornado, will stand up to the strongest gales and heaviest rain. Innovative design elements, like semi-geodesic design, tension band system pitching and alloy poles aid stability and make the tent effortless to erect.  The Equinox, meanwhile, will sleep three people in comfort and is one of the most popular mountain tents on the market.

You don't have to be a D of E candidate to enjoy the benefits of Vango expedition tents.  They are designed for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors and wants a rugged, reliable roof over their heads.

Kayak $74.88 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A kayak (sometimes generalised as a canoe) is a small humanpowered boat that traditionally has a covered deck, and one or more cockpits, each seating one paddler who strokes a doublebladed paddle. The cockpit is covered by a spraydeck (skirt) that keeps the inside of the boat (and the paddlers lower body) dry. The spraydeck or similar waterproof covering attaches securely to the edges of the cockpit, preventing the entry of water from waves or spray, and making it possible, in some boats, to roll the kayak, capsizing and righting the boat without it filling with water or ejecting the passenger.
