캠핑 장비는 최대한 간소화하라. 캠핑 자체가 비박(Biwak, 독일어)의 변형이다

진정한 캠핑은 비박(Biwak, 독일어)이다

■Tarp(타프)

타프(Tarp)는 햇볕, 비, 이슬 등을 피하기 위해 사용되는 가림막을 지칭하는 것으로 비박(Biwak, 독일어)용 플라이(Fly)라고도 부른다.

타프는 방수 처리한 천인 타포린(tarpaulin)의 줄임말이기도 하다. Awning(오닝, 어닝)과 타프는 전혀 다른 쟝르의 제품이다

■ awning(오닝, 어닝)

awning(오닝)은 햇빛을 가려 주거나 비를 막아주기 위해 친 천막 같은 구조물인데 건축에서 쓰이는 용어다. 한마디로 건물 차양막이다

■ 텐트 원단 210D or 75D 란 무엇인가?

* D(데니어) : 텐트원단의 두께(원사의 두께)를 나타내는 단위


* 1D(데니어)란 : 나일론 1그램으로 9km의 실을 뽑아냈을때의 실 굵기
* 상기 코베아 캐슬 사양은
* 210D는 텐트상부재질(9km 실을 뽑았을 때 210g 나일론 소요)
* 75D는 텐트벽면재질(9km 실을 뽑았을 때 75g 나일론 소요)
* 따라서 숫자가 클수록 원단이 두껍다고 보시면 됩니다.
* 장,단점 : 숫자가 클수록 내구성이 좋고 무게가 무겁다.(숫자가 작을수록 가볍고 내구성은 떨어진다.)




■캠핑 장비는 꼭 필요한 것만 사라

캠핑 때 준비할 게 상당히 많아 보인다. 명심할 점은 싸구려로 한꺼번에 장만하지 말라는 것. 캠핑장비는 꼭 필요할 때 최고의 것을 골라야 실망하지 않는다. 우선 텐트와 침낭 매트리스가 있어야 비를 가리고 잠을 잘 수 있다. 텐트에 플라이(덮개)가 있으면 그것으로 충분하지만 여럿이 갈 때는 비가 오더라도 여유가 있을 정도의 타프(그늘막)를 준비하는 게 좋다.

편한 잠자리를 위해선 매트리스는 좋은 것으로 선택할 필요가 있다. 매트리스는 둥글게 마는 것부터 접는 것, 바람을 넣은 것 등 다양하다. 부피와 가격 등을 따져서 장만하면 된다. 매트리스는 한 번 장만하면 5년 이상 쓸 수 있으므로 마음에 드는 것을 고르는 게 좋다.

여름이라 얇은 이불 정도로 지낼 수도 있지만 기온변화가 심한 야외에선 밤 기온이 생각보다 차기 때문에 침낭을 갖추는 게 좋다.

분위기 있는 밤이나 야간 이동을 위해 랜턴이나 램프는 필수적으로 준비해야 한다. 요리를 하려면 버너와 코펠 수저 식기도 갖춰야 한다. 휘발유 버너는 계절에 관계없이 사용할 수 있지만 봄부터 가을까지만 캠핑을 간다면 가스버너가 나을 듯. 보통 밥과 국이나 찌개를 동시에 하므로 양쪽으로 쓸 수 있는 버너가 편리하다. 바람이 불면 밥이 잘 안될 수 있으므로 바람막이도 갖추는 게 좋다.

숟가락 젓가락을 따로 준비하지 말고 숟가락 겸용 포크를 준비하는 게 좋다.

요리를 하려면 칼도 필요한데 날이 노출된 식도보다 접을 수 있는 야전용 칼이 적당하다.

물론 캔이나 병따개와 코르크 따개까지 붙어 있으면 금상첨화다

What’s The Difference Between An Awning And A Canopy?

Are you looking for the perfect shelter, to allow you to enjoy the outdoors all year round?
Both awnings and canopies provide you with luxury. From the summer heat to rain in winter, they allow you to enjoy your outdoor space all year round.
But, what’s the difference between an awning and a canopy?
The difference between an awning and a canopy lies in the structure. An awning is made of fabric and typically attached to a building, home or business. A canopy, on the other hand, is a free-standing fixture that can be used in multiple settings due to its portability.
Over the years, both awnings and canopies have been confusing people, they both have similar benefits and are typically interchangeable in speech. This blog aims to bring clarity to the situation.

What is an Awning?

Unlike canopies, awnings are usually a permanent fixture. Once installed to the outside of your building, they don’t require you to disassemble them after use.
Awnings are widely used in commercial settings on the front of businesses, for example, shopfronts and restaurants. For domestic use, they’re very popular on patios or porches that attract a lot of sunlight.
Awnings overhang the attached area with no vertical support coming from the floor. This can be seen as one of its disadvantages as you’re limited in size, with this in mind a canopy would be the best option.
On the other hand, we see its lack of support as one of its advantages. They’re the perfect option for areas of little space, or for creating shade and protection.
For domestic use, an awning can be the difference between enjoying your outdoor space or not. From protecting you and your furniture from all weathers to acting as a dry storage space for wet or muddy equipment, you can be sure the area will be a comfortable one for all.
Commercially awnings can make a huge difference to the exterior of your business. As well as having the practical benefits we mentioned previously, an awning can make the architectural design and colouring stand out from the competition, especially in cafés.

What is a Canopy?

The biggest difference between an awning and a canopy is that it’s freestanding. Canopies are a portable structure that provide shelter to an outdoor area.
The beauty of canopies is they’re very flexible in terms of size, meaning they can be used in multiple settings.
Bigger than awnings, canopies aren’t restricted in size. They’re larger structures made from durable & waterproof fabric, have a metal frame, and are supported by vertical posts.
Canopies are perfect for providing shelter from sunlight and rain. A freestanding canopy can come in any bespoke size, meaning you’re only limited to the area you want to use it in.
For home use, they’re suitable for BBQs, parties, and celebrations. Commercially, they can be used all year round in pubs for beer gardens or smoking shelters.
Because they’re portable, they can be easily put up and down making them perfect for camping, festivals, the beach, and outdoor sports/events. Alternatively, on a larger scale, they provide enough shelter for outdoor weddings with a dining space and dance area.
