2. Sandy Terrain
Characteristics: Large day-night temperature fluctuations, strong winds and sand, soft ground

Recommended Tent Type: Double-layer three-season tent
Key Features:
High waterproof rating (thick PU coating)
Moisture-proof bottom material
Large mesh panels for ventilation
Optimized internal space layout

Full-perimeter snow skirt design
Wood stove port (optional)
