All over the United States of America, camping is now in vogue. Once just the preoccupation of boy scouts and family holidays, camping is now rising as a hobby exponentially in young Americans. According to the North American Camping Report 2019, since 2014 there has been a 72 percent increase of campers every year. Now, both millennials and GenXers are more likely to identify themselves as life long campers.

One of the reasons for this is the growing market for luxury camping, glamping or van life, probably romanticized by outdoor adventurers on Instagram. But for young people, looking for a glamourized but slightly anesthetized experience of the great outdoors, it begs the question: building your own tent, is it the best option?

Although the rise in interest in camping seems to be related to the more commercialized, glam-camping, we think there’s a parallel factor which has led to the rise of the popularity of camping. With the world becoming awake to the risks of plastics and climate change, more and more of us are looking to get back to nature and do it in a sustainable way.

A tarp tent can easily be set up with the assistance of a tent pole, or a nearby stick.

In fact, the study found that half of all campers identified their “love of outdoors” for sparking their interest in camping. So if you love the outdoors, and want to surround yourself in nature in a way that benefits it in the long run, then primitive camping, and especially building your own tent, might be the ideal option for you.

When we buy camping tents, and many other outdoor pieces of kit, often they come in lumpy, plastic packaging. This not only can be bad for the environment but also tents and extra camping gear can weigh you down exponentially on your hike or camping experience. If you’re looking for an ultra-light, and environmentally sustainable option, then building your own tent is a perfect option for your camping trip. They’re also a fantastic option if you don’t want to sleep at a campsite.

Another reason why building your own tent might be the best option for you is that you’re a romantic! If your love for the outdoors goes beyond an occasional weekend trip into the local hills, and you’re a full-on adventure seeker who wants to fully immerse yourself in nature, there’s not much closer to it you can get than by building your own tent.

As we will go on to outline, there are a few different options for building your own tent. But many of them include utilizing parts of your natural habitat. For example, you might find a stick to prop up your tarp, or two well-spaced, string trees to tie your camping hammock to.

Although building your own tent is not for the faint-hearted, it can add exponentially to your outdoor adventure. Imagine carving out your own intimate canopy, to observe the world out of when it’s colder. Or in the summer months, why even have a shelter at all? If you know it’s going to be excellent weather on your camping trip, a tent is almost a waste. There’s nothing more invigorating than the feeling of falling asleep under a canopy of twinkling stars or waking up to a stunning sunset, with a light breeze on your face.

As we’ve outlined, there are already a couple of general reasons why people might want to think about making their own tent. One is to be more environmentally sustainable, not only in the production process but also by using natural materials to ensure that the site is left exactly how you found it, with no man-made additions. Secondly, many people are attracted to building their own tents by a romantic notion to “get back to nature”, and fully be immersed in their natural environment.

Many serious outdoor enthusiasts also choose to build their own tent, as this is an ultralight option for long hiking trips. To help you ask the following question, we will break down a few different ways it’s popular to build your own tent: building your own tent, is it the best option for you?

Tarp DIY tent

One of the most popular tents that people build for themselves is a simple tent made from tarp. For summer camping, these can be an excellent option. They might not protect you from a winter storm, but form a light summer shower, they work just fine. You can set up a tarp with stakes in the back two corners, and then prop up the front middle of the tarp with a camping pole, tent poles, or a nearby branch.

If it’s a bit colder than you expected, we recommend setting up the tarp tent in a direction that faces away from the direction of the wind. This is because although tarps are an effective way of keeping you dry, they don’t offer much wind protection. Alternatively, you could try and find a location where you’re naturally protected from the wind, like behind a big boulder, or in a thick forest. This is one of the main principles of building any shelter: you need to stay dry and out of the wind.

The main benefit of building your own tarp tent is that it’s super light. A tarp or two in your backpack will add barely any extra weight at all but will protect you and your kit from light rain. Tarps also come in useful for lots of other purposes on camping trips, for more information, check out this useful article. What you make up for in convenience though, you lose out on comfort.

Unless you want to carry around a sleeping mat, your sleep on the floor under your DIY tarp tent might not be the most luxurious sleep of your life. If it’s windy, you better have brought a thick sleeping bag! However, if you’re camping in the summer months, or you’re willing to risk a bit of discomfort in your sleep to get some extra miles in your hike, this could be the ideal option for you.

However, there are a couple of disadvantages to building your own tape tent. Firstly, as we have mentioned, it doesn’t offer much protection from the wind if any. The second main principle of finding a shelter is that it protects you from wild animals and bugs. Because of the open entrance of the tarp tent, this is not something which it can help you with.

If you plan on building your own tarp tent, make sure there aren’t any midges at that time of year, and that there are no bears or other dangerous animals in the area. But, if you’re looking to get closer to nature, then waking up to deer grazing in front of your tent, for example, might be exactly what you’re looking for. It’s your call!

A good shelter can be made out of simple materials which you can find on the forest floor.

DIY leaf hut

Our second option is ideal for those looking for the ultimate back-to-nature experience. Building your own leaf hut will turn you from a casual camper to a full-on survivalist. This will not only surround you and cushion you with the stunning natural materials occupying the forest or wood, but you will also be learning some invaluable survival skills.

The idea behind building a leaf hut is to make a simple wooden frame, probably in the shape of a triangle unless you’re using a natural dip or hole, with interloping branches to make a frame. Obviously it’s only really possible to build a leaf hut in a forest or wood. Once you’ve built your simple frame, you cover it in a thick layer of leaves. This will keep you dry and warm, insulated from winds.

Another great idea is to add a bough or leaf bed to the ground, to stop you from losing body heat that way, that you would usually lose through the tent floor. This is also a great option if you don’t want to carry around the extra weight of a sleeping mat if you’re backpacking, especially if you’re going on a hiking holiday.

The leaf huts are one of the most classic and recognizable shelters, and it’s also very easy to erect. However, take your time with it! Leaf huts can be very effective at protecting you from rain and wind, but they need to be built just right. We would recommend building a leaf hut with someone who has prior experience for the first couple of times, just to make sure you have the technique right. If there’d too much space between the elements of the frame or the leaves are not packed right, you might not get a waterproof shelter.

Leaf huts, thus, can be waterproof. However, you’ll never get as much protection from the elements as a sturdy tent. Because great tents are sealed, waterproofed and windproof, they’re quite hard to rival when it comes to protection from the elements.

However, you don’t always need that level of protection. And as anyone who has attended a festival in the summer will tell you, the experience of waking up in the tent in the summer, when the sun has been on it for hours, is not pleasant. Therefore, when it’s hotter, and there’s less chance of rain, a natural shelter like the leaf hut is a luxurious, indulgent option.

DIY trench shelter

As we’ve mentioned, the best time to build your own tent or shelter is in the summer. However, that only applies if you’re looking for a pleasant, relaxing time! If you’ve got a lot more adventure coursing through your veins, and you want to build a tent or natural shelter even in really terrible weather, then either are still options available for you. For example, you could make yourself a DIY trench shelter in a snowfield! It goes without saying that this is not for the faint of heart. But if you’re in it for the adventure, read on.

If you’re looking to build a shelter in the middle of a snowfield, a trench shelter is probably your best option. But how do you make one? To build a trench shelter, you need to make two walls built of snow or dig out the snow to make a trench or hole in the middle. The top of the hole can be closed with natural materials, like branches or leaves, or with a rainfly.

We would recommend using both for extra protection from the rain plus insulation and protection from the wind. If you’re looking for the extra protection of walls from the cold, that you would be missing by not having a wall tent, then this option could be worth your effort.

Obviously, if this is the route you’re going down, you’ll be bringing a really heavy-duty sleeping bag, and preferably a thick sleeping mat to avoid losing body heat into the ground. Remember to take a hardy groundsheet with you. Another trick to keep in that vital body heat is to make the hole of the trench shelter actually quite small. There’s shouldn’t be too much extra room inside the shelter, as the concept is designed to trap in as much of your body heat as possible.

Bivy bags

If you’re going camping in the winter months, you might want something which offers some more substantial protection than natural, or open coverings. If you’re looking to be sleeping under the stars, but still have the ultimate protection from rain, then a bivy bag is the way to go! Bivy bags fold up super small, and are really light, and are the winners at waterproofing. You’ll barely even notice it on your back as you’re hiking, meaning you can go for longer stretches and feel less tired at the end of the day.

However, as with all DIY tent substitutes, you’re usually swapping your sleeping comfort somewhat for longer, easter hikes. With a bevy bag, you are literally in a waterproof bag, which can fit around your sleeping bag and your roll mat. So: actually a bivy can offer you just as much comfort as a tent, if the weather isn’t challenging.

With a really windy and rainy night, sleeping in a bivy is going to be challenging on your face. However, if it’s hot out, and it’s unlikely you’ll get too much rain, then a bivy bag can give you all the protection you need combined with the freedom of really sleeping outdoors. And Bivy bags are the far better option for winter, as they keep in a lot of your own body heat.

Why even take a tent?

One option is to not even use a tent! If you’re going camping in the summer months, then many of the options we have suggested will be much more palatable for you. They will protect you from a little bit of rain, but still, leave you sleeping under the stars.

However, if you’re certain that the weather is going to be nice, why even take a tent at all? Most really hardcore hikers and outdoor enthusiasts don’t mind sacrificing on comfort. The most important thing is the feeling of being utterly connected to nature.

Before taking this option, it’s imperative that you do a lot of research. Firstly you need to check that your hiking and camping location allows primitive or backcountry camping. Secondly – always check the weather forecast! If there’s even a slight chance of rain, we would recommend taking at least a tarp with you, to keep you dry in emergencies.

Remember as well, with any of these options, it’s very easy to lose a lot of your body heat through the ground. It’s best to take a sleeping mat with you. If you’re going for ultra-lightweight backpacking, then an inflatable sleeping mat is ideal.

For backpackers who prioritize lightweight portability over comfort, there are many DIY alternatives.

Final Verdict:

So is building your own tent the best option? There are a few ways to build your own tent if you have the know-how. Some people choose to make simple one-person tents themselves. However, we wouldn’t recommend making your own fabric tent from scratch. Finding the right tent for you online can be super cheap and easy. In fact, if you want a more DIY approach towards camping, then we would recommend opting for a camping hammock.

It’s so easy to find a cheap tent online that will fit whatever needs you have. Good tents have strong, waterproof fabric, and sealed seams to avoid any water getting in as you’re sleeping. It will be almost impossible for you to make a tent as good as a shop-bought one, so why bother. Instead, your best tent could be… not even a tent. The best covering for you might be something just a little more adventurous, that connects you to nature, and even adds to your survival skills too.

How to Take Your Own Internet to Outdoor Events

Published

October 18, 2025

You’ve got the permits, the lineup, the stage design, and the crowd — but when it comes to WiFi, outdoor events can turn from dream festivals to data dead zones in minutes. Reliable connectivity is now as essential as power or sound. Whether it’s a music festival streaming to TikTok, a food fair using mobile POS systems, or a corporate brand activation relying on live dashboards, the internet connection is what keeps the gears turning.

But the truth is this: counting on venue WiFi at a large outdoor event is a gamble. Hundreds of devices fighting for the same bandwidth can jam up the signal before the headliner gets on stage. Public networks only have one backhaul connection, so your production crew, security cameras, and vendors could all be fighting with concert-goers streaming YouTube in the crowd.

So, if your aspiration is to keep the event chugging along like clockwork, the genius move is to bring your own internet — designed specifically for the occasion, private, and controlled by your event staff.

Why Venue WiFi Fails When Crowds Arrive

Let’s start with the numbers. According to Cisco’s 2024 Annual Internet Report, the average person now connects four to six devices at live events — phones, wearables, tablets, scanners, and streaming gear. Multiply that by 5,000 or 50,000 people, and you’re looking at a digital traffic jam.

Outdoor locations have a very minimal amount of wired infrastructure. The majority utilize older systems or common fiber links, which were not designed for thousands of users at once. When the signal is over-stretched, latency increases, access points fail, and the network grinds to a halt.

For event organizers, this is not only inconvenient — it’s a safety and revenue gamble. POS terminals won’t work. QR ticket scanners crawl. Even backup communication programs freeze.

The Smarter Solution: Creating Your Own Network

Constructing a stand-alone network for an outside event may seem daunting, but technology has made it relatively achievable. Instead of relying on one provider or tower, professional crews now use several sources of the internet to deliver redundancy and stability.

Outdoor WiFi specialists use multi-carrier cellular bonding, satellite uplinks, and WAN smoothing to keep traffic consistent even when one source is down. It’s a lot like having several water pipes feed one tank — if one pipe gets stopped up, others keep the flow consistent.

The best configuration depends on three variables:

Location: Urban park, remote valley, rooftop, or open desert all have different signal profiles and line-of-sight challenges.
Bandwidth Demand: Are you providing power to a 50-person AV crew or streaming to a million online viewers?
Duration: A day-long music festival versus a week-long brand tour will change the way you plan power, cooling, and redundancy.

Professional crews will often pre-deploy with site surveys — gauging carrier strength, spectrum congestion, and potential sources of interference such as LED walls or nearby broadcast towers.

Lessons from the Field

Outdoor WiFi would be a niche specialty, but in today’s world it’s simply part and parcel of modern event production. In the last decade, TradeShowInternet’s teams have helped support hundreds of big outdoor festivals and corporate activations, and there have been a few hard-won lessons along the way.

There was the time crews climbed a half mile up the flank of a Santa Fe mountain with over 200 pounds of gear to put in a solar-powered relay antenna for Red Bull’s Guinness World Record truck jump. A second assignment involved digging cable trenches through snake country in Los Angeles for Christian Dior’s fashion show.

When Univision taped La Banda on the beach in Miami, technicians climbed a 20-foot truss into a lightning storm to raise antennas. These are probably war stories, but they represent reality: each outdoor location introduces its own wildcards. Wind, weather, terrain, and local RF noise all push the limits of planning.

The lesson? Experience is as important as gear. Knowing when to use additional directional antennas, when to flip to satellite failover, or how to protect a router from 100-degree heat isn’t something you can read in a manual.

The Technical Side: How Redundant Networks Keep Events Alive

This is how seasoned outdoor internet crews engineer reliability into temporary networks:

Multi-Carrier Bonding: Equipment stitches together data from multiple cellular carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.) to maximize bandwidth and fill signal gaps.

WAN Smoothing: Packets are duplicated and relayed on secondary paths to prevent noticeable drops or hiccups in live streams.
Satellite Integration: Especially when out at remote sites or in mountain events where cell phone reception is spotty.
5G + LTE Hybrid Units: Combining newer high-bandwidth 5G networks with more predictable LTE offers well-rounded throughput.
Portable Mesh Access Points: Create overlapping areas of WiFi that eliminate dead spots across vast grounds or over tented locations.
Power & Weather Protection: Ranging from Pelican case enclosures to solar power solutions, all of which ensure uptime regardless of adverse weather conditions.

It’s a multi-layer strategy — not one device straining the load, but several working in tandem to handle bandwidth, robustness, and coverage.

Why Your Vendors, AV Staff, and Guests All Need Their Own Network Layer

External events normally have three distinct user communities that require the internet:

Production and AV Personnel – operation of live feeds, mixing panels, lighting, and communications programs.
Vendors and POS Devices – card transaction processing, QR menus, and inventory software.
Guests and Media – posting, uploading, or taking part in brand interaction activity.

Mixing them all on one open WiFi is risky. It provides security vulnerabilities and causes too much congestion. The preferred method is network segmentation, creating separate virtual networks that prioritize mission-critical traffic (production, POS, security cameras) and restrict non-mission-critical use like social browsing.

This is exactly how professional outdoor WiFi & Internet solution companies like TradeShowInternet build event systems. They design bespoke topologies that match the unique demands of every event, whether a food festival, marathon, or big corporate activation.

Budgeting and Planning: What Organizers Should Know

According to EventMB’s 2024 Event Technology Report, 73% of event planners say maintaining a reliable connection is important to attendee happiness, yet less than half have a standalone internet budget in place upfront while planning. That’s a recipe for last-minute scrambling.

For all to run smoothly, the network plan needs to be created alongside stage design and power planning — not an afterthought.

Some planning advice:

Start early: Conduct site surveys at least 30 days ahead of the event.
Prioritize wired backbones: Use fiber or Ethernet in production areas whenever possible.
Segregate guest WiFi: Utilize bandwidth caps or sponsored captive portals to control usage.
Redundancy: Cellular + satellite bonding is well worth the investment for mission-critical space.
Post-event review: Collect performance data to inform next year’s plan.

Real-World Use Cases

Outdoor connectivity is not just for music festivals. It’s a necessity for:

Marathons and triathlons – for timing chips, live maps, and emergency co-ordination.
Outdoor conferences or summits – where executives require office-grade internet to make presentations.
Food truck festivals and markets – all vendors need POS access.
Film and TV productions – production villages rely on low-latency connections for uploads.
Races and motorsport events – telemetry, live scoring, and media streaming.

Each of these environments needs a different trade-off among coverage area, upload speed, and mobility.

Why Experience Matters for Outdoor Internet Installations

Each outdoor location is unique. Trees, humidity, metal buildings, even bodies of water can affect wireless performance. Having individuals who’ve done hundreds of installations means fewer surprises and faster repairs when something unexpected happens.

That’s where TradeShowInternet, a leading outdoor WiFi & Internet solution company, comes in. The company has built up networks on deserts, beaches, helipads, mountain ridges, and pop-up brand villages — keeping organizers, vendors, and AV teams connected wherever the event is hosted.

A concert in the canyon. A film night under desert stars. A bustling waterfront food festival with 10,000 guests. Across the country, outdoor events are turning parks, coastlines, forests, and fields into memorable destinations. But there’s one service now as essential as power, permits, and porta-potties: outdoor event WiFi.

Whether for ticket scanning, mobile POS systems, sponsor activations, or live-streaming performances, WiFi for outdoor events has become the invisible support that keeps everything running. Without it, payments stall, communication falters, and digital engagement stops.

Why Outdoor Event WiFi Is Mission-Critical

The outdoor events sector, from farmers’ markets to endurance races, is growing quickly. Allied Market Research predicts global festival revenues will exceed $50B by 2030. These venues offer unique charm, but they also pose a challenge: a lack of built-in internet infrastructure.

“Outside doesn’t mean offline,” says Emma Castillo, a production manager for festivals, film nights, and open-air corporate launches. “We rely on temporary internet for outdoor events to manage our security communications, allow vendors to keep selling, and ensure our livestreams don’t drop.”

Cellular service can struggle with the demands of thousands of devices. Some remote locations may not have any service at all. That’s where outdoor event WiFi solutions come in—portable, scalable, and designed for unpredictable weather.

How Outdoor Internet Keeps Events Moving

Today’s outdoor events rely on connectivity in ways that go far beyond letting guests post on social media:

Mobile POS & Cashless Payments – No signal means lost revenue for vendors.
RFID & Access Control – Real-time validation at gates and VIP areas.
Streaming & Social Content – From TikTok reels to sponsor livestreams.
Sponsor Engagement – QR contests, AR activations, and digital signage updates.
Safety & Logistics – Staff communication, emergency alerts, GPS tracking.

A recent Event Manager Blog study found 63% of sponsors now require guaranteed internet access before committing. Attendees want it too; more than half say connectivity is a key factor in their event satisfaction.

Outdoor Event WiFi Solutions in Action: “Lights on the Lake”

In June, the lakeside town of Lakeshore hosted a three-day open-air film festival. The views were stunning, but no wired internet was available, and mobile service barely worked.

The technical crew set up:

Multi-carrier 5G bonding for vendor and guest networks
Long-range weatherproof access points covering the pier and food court
A private secure network for organizers and emergency staff
A satellite uplink for backup

The festival processed thousands of transactions, streamed Q&A sessions with international filmmakers, and even operated a live voting app without a single connectivity failure.

Industry Perspective: Connectivity as a Core Utility

According to WiFit founder Matt Cicek, changes in event technology priorities have been significant:

“Five years ago, internet at an outdoor event was seen as a nice-to-have. Now, it’s as essential as running water and electricity. From safety coordination to sponsor returns, there’s too much at stake to leave it to chance.”

The Future of Temporary Internet for Outdoor Events

As events become more complex, WiFi for outdoor events from service providers like WiFit will play an even larger role. Expect advancements like:

Solar-powered network kits for sustainable operations
AI-managed bandwidth that adjusts to real-time crowd size
Edge computing for instant AR and interactive attractions

For event planners, the message is clear: the quality of your internet connection is as important as your stage, lighting, or sound system. The next time you’re booking a venue, remember—the crowd may be watching the performers, but they’re also looking at their screens. They expect both to work perfectly.

September 25, 2024

Caleb Cole

Outdoor enthusiasts know that having the right gear can make all the difference. Whether you’re hiking, camping, hunting, or engaging in any other outdoor activity, quality equipment ensures not only safety but also a better overall experience. As we head into a new season, it’s time to refresh your gear collection with essential items that will enhance your adventures. In this article, we’ll explore five pieces of must-have outdoor gear, focusing on both practicality and comfort.

Shooting Glasses Are Essential for Outdoor Adventures

If you’re heading out for a shooting range session or a hunting trip, investing in a quality pair of shooting glasses is non-negotiable. Eye protection is critical when engaging in any activity involving firearms, and shooting glasses are designed to keep your eyes safe from potential hazards like debris, shell casings, and even harmful UV rays.

Shooting glasses are a key safety measure that helps shield your eyes from impact and glare. The lenses are typically made from high-impact resistant materials that can endure tough conditions, making them a must-have for hunters, target shooters, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Beyond safety, these glasses often come with polarized lenses to improve visibility in various lighting conditions. By incorporating shooting glasses into your outdoor gear, you’re ensuring not only better safety but also improved performance during your time in the wilderness.

What Should You Look For During Black Friday Hunting Gear Deals?

One of the best times to stock up on essential outdoor gear is during Black Friday. Black Friday hunting gear deals provide an opportunity for hunters to snag high-quality items at significantly reduced prices. Whether you’re after apparel, backpacks, or specialized equipment, Black Friday sales often feature steep discounts on top brands that every outdoor enthusiast should take advantage of.

This sale season is ideal for upgrading your hunting wardrobe and stocking up on essential gear that may normally be out of your price range. From weather-resistant jackets to durable boots and base layers, hunting gear can be pricey, and Black Friday is the perfect time to invest in the best equipment. By keeping an eye out for deals during this shopping period, you can save money while ensuring you’re well-prepared for your next big adventure.

Multi-Tools Are a Must-Have

Want to know the most versatile pieces of gear you can carry? It is a multi-tool. Whether you’re camping, hiking, or hunting, having a tool that can serve multiple functions is a game-changer. Multi-tools come equipped with a variety of features such as knives, screwdrivers, pliers, and scissors, all compactly housed in a single device that easily fits in your pocket or pack.

The practicality of a multi-tool is hard to beat. It allows you to tackle unexpected tasks, from cutting rope to repairing gear, all without needing to carry a full toolbox. When you’re out in the wild, you want to be prepared for anything, and a multi-tool ensures you’re ready to handle small emergencies or make quick fixes with ease.

Insulated Water Bottles Can Improve Your Outdoor Experience

Staying hydrated is one of the most important aspects of any outdoor activity. Whether you’re embarking on a long hike or spending hours in a hunting blind, having an insulated water bottle can make a difference. Insulated bottles have features that help to keep your drinks at the desired temperature for a long time, which is especially useful during extreme weather conditions.

These bottles maintain the temperature of your beverage—whether cold or hot—so you can enjoy refreshing water in the summer or a warm drink during chilly morning hunts. Insulated water bottles are also typically made from durable materials, meaning they can withstand the rigors of outdoor use without breaking or leaking. Investing in a high-quality insulated bottle ensures that you stay hydrated and comfortable throughout your outdoor excursions.

Durable Backpacks Can Enhance Your Outdoor Experience

A good backpack is the cornerstone of any successful outdoor trip. When you’re out in nature, you need a reliable, durable pack to carry all of your gear comfortably. Look for backpacks that are built to withstand harsh conditions, provide ample storage, and have ergonomic designs that distribute weight evenly to prevent strain on your back and shoulders.

Modern outdoor backpacks come equipped with multiple compartments to help you stay organized, as well as specialized features like hydration bladder compatibility, rain covers, and reinforced straps. By investing in a durable, well-designed backpack, you’ll have the capacity to carry everything you need—whether it’s extra clothing, food, or hunting gear—while maintaining comfort during long treks.
