Difference between 'traer' and 'llevar'

[fglorca]

I haven't brought a tent:

No he traído una tienda de campaña.
No he llevado una tienda de campaña.

Is there any difference in meaning between these two verbs? Which one is more common in Spain?

[aleCcowaN]

traer = bring from there to here
llevar = bring from here to there

No he traído una tienda de campaña --->I haven't brought a tent (I'm here and I don't have a tent with me)
No he llevado una tienda de campaña ---> I haven't brought a tent (to that location ***) [there's a difference in how the tense is understood depending it is Spain -*** = recently- or América -***= any time-]

The meanings of llevar and traer don't change with the country.

traer = bring from there to here
llevar = take from here to there

No he traído una tienda de campaña --->I haven't brought a tent (I'm here and I don't have a tent with me)
No he llevado una tienda de campaña ---> I haven't taken a tent (to that location ***) [there's a difference in how the tense is understood depending it is Spain -*** = recently- or América -***= any time-]

The meanings of llevar and traer don't change with the country.These two verbs, bring and take, are confused in English, as well.
