Throughout history, tents have been used as portable houses by nomadic people all over the world. Tents are still very popular in the Middle East and are used by the military all over the world.

Today, tents main uses are for recreational camping involving hunting, fishing and hiking. Modern tents are usually made of fire-retardant material. Recreational tents are generally easy to transport and depending on tent size can by easily pitched or taken down in between 5 and 25 minutes. Smaller tents are sold as "backpacking" tents and they are ideal for the hiker who must carry the tent on his back for long distances.

A tent is economical and practical because of its portability and low environmental impact. These are important factors when used in the wilderness or backcountry.

Tent manufacturers indicate capacity by such terms as "3 berth" or "2 person". These numbers indicate how many people the manufacturer thinks can be fit into a tent with just sleeping bags.

Many factors affect tent design. If backpacking, camping, or hiking where the tent must be carried for long distances, weight and size are the most important factors. If high frequency of pitching and striking (taking down) the tent are required, ease of pitching/striking the tent is important. If staying at one site for a week or two, a comfortable camping experience is the target.

Tents are made for different purposes. A tent required for summer use may be very different from one to be used in the depths of winter. Manufacturers label tents as one-season, two/three-season, three/four-season, four season, etc. A one-season tent is mostly for summer use only, and may be capable of coping with light rain. A three-season tent is for spring/summer/autumn and should be capable of withstanding fairly heavy rain, or very light snow. A four-season tent should be suitable for winter camping in all but the most extreme conditions; an expedition tent (for mountain conditions) should be strong enough to cope with heavy snow, strong winds, as well as heavy rain.

As indicated above tents are made for different purposes. Make your selection based on your intended use.
