Coleman Hooligan 2 Backpacking Tent

The Coleman brand is a trusted name and the Coleman Hooligan 2 Backpacking Tent is a trusted product. I don’t think I have seen a kids tent get better reviews than this one. When looking at the tent myself I can see why.

Maybe you are a youngster looking for a tent to take camping with your friends or you’re an adult camper and you are looking for a tent to suit your child so as he or she can carry and put up their own tent. I think this is great because it gives the child a feeling of responsibility and independence, (always handy for when they grow up).

When looking for a backpacking tent in general I think one of the important features must be its compact ability. Yes, it has to be big enough to sleep 2 people comfortably but also it needs to be able to fold easily and quickly fitting snugly in your backpack.

The Coleman Hooligan 2 Backpacking Tent is a good sized 2 person tent that has a great one pole design. This is a super idea. The one pole allows for the tent to be set up in a hurry, very useful if you get caught in the rain or have to set up in the dark. There will be no need to get confused on which pole goes where and packing the tent away is a walk in the park.

When I have been camping I always buy tents that have a special vestibule area at the front. I think this is great for storing your dirty or wet shoes or setting up a mini clothes line for drying wet garments. I particularly like the vestibule area for cooking my meals if it is raining outside. I can cook safely and comfortably under the protection of the covered vestibule.

I have had my fair share of owning some pretty bad tents. When it was time to buy another tent to try out I started to learn how to weed out the not so good tents and hone in on the ones that stood out to be top products.

As an inexperienced camper I used to just go out and buy the most expensive tent on the market thinking that it would be the best but a lot of the time this is not the case. An example is this Coleman Hooligan 2 Backpacking Tent is under $60 and it out performs many of the higher end tents out there. It is by far the best tent out there for the youngster just getting into camping life.

Although this tent isn’t tough enough to withstand Himalayan weather it certainly can hold its own in rainy and windy weather keeping the occupant dry and safe from the elements.

The compact ability will allow room for the camping essentials like a first aid kit and of course the basic camping tools. Once the tent is set up you have interior gear pockets providing easy access to important items like a flash light or a first aid kit.
