Often I hear, "If you don't like the weather in the Ozarks, stick around a few minutes. It's apt to change!" It is this unruly, unpredictable weather that has ruined many outings for the campers and outdoor enthusiasts in this area.
This morning, a summer storm moved through the Ozark Mountains, dumping torrential rains over the countryside and sending many unsuspecting campers packing. This afternoon though, the sun is shining and my family is headed to our favorite camping site for the weekend. The weather may turn bad again, but with our Coleman® Exponent® Bristol™ tent in tow, we're not concerned with getting wet. Coleman® guarantees that we'll stay dry.
How can Coleman® make such a guarantee? Simple. Coleman® has gone to great lengths to test their tents in the worst conditions! Since 1900, Coleman® has worked hard to build products which outlast and out-perform all others.

The past summer, my family experienced one of those Ozark thunderstorms, caught unaware at 2 AM. Needless to say, we were not in a Coleman® tent. We not only had to leave in the wee morning hours to find shelter, but also returned the next day to find our tent full of that dreaded red clay, sleeping bags soaked, and personal items absolutely destroyed. The clean up took days. I was more determined than ever to find a tent that would withstand the results of the Ozark's weather! I found the Coleman® Exponent® Bristol™ tent.
The Bristol™ 3 person/3 season tent was designed for adventurous individuals who enjoy being in the outdoors, close to nature, and one step away from the most remote regions of the world. Being ultra-rugged, water-resistant, and watertight are just a few of the qualities which make this tent one of the best on the market. Additional features include the high strength, 3-pole (color-coded) aluminum frame and front vestibule for storing items out of sight and out of the elements.

We'll take this same tent with us this fall while hunting for our favorite game. It's lightweight, durable, and compact, with easy set-up and take down. There is no need for additional help. You can do it all by yourself. This tent should be every outdoorsman's #1 choice for an outdoor adventure.
So, whether you're hiking into the deepest wilderness in pursuit of a trophy or taking your family on an outdoor excursion, let Coleman® help you create those memories of a lifetime. Rest assured your experiences will always be better if you are using a Coleman® Exponent® Bristol™ Tent.
