I've got a Lanshan 2 for trekking and some free-standing 4-person 'instant up' tent from Aldi. Haven't used the latter yet but I wanted something more spacious for two people when we're car camping (or at least camping in places where you're not more than a couple of hours from the trailhead).

I'm OP. I've also noticed that almost no 4-season tents in the US have snow skirts. Why aren't they used there?

I have a 6 Moons Lunar Solo but I'm not really happy with it. I've had it blow over a few times in high winds and there isn't enough head space near the ends even if I guy out the panels. Thinking about selling it on fleabay and grabbing a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2. I've heard 2 person tents are much more "livable" for long trips.

Just bought a tent. Now, I'm going to buy a sleeping bag and pad. I'm thinking I will go with NEMO but can't decide between the Forte and the Disco. I am 6'1" and 235 lb. I tried different bag sizes in store. I like regular wide. Should I get a bag liner? If so, what size?

Any anon who has a recommendation for a cheapish tent with light-proof material? Is canvas ok, or a Zeltbahn? Weight is not much of an issue. I'd like to sleep in the garden but the street lights are too bright in direct line of sight ;_;

Free tent gang. Ex lives in same building as me and blasted my door to drop her 2 person peak one off because she used it 3 times and thinks it’s broken because we got wet last summer. I think it’s beacause I set it up in the dark blasted on shrooms and left the rainflys open while we partied, but hey, free tent. No more Mr hikes with kikes for car camping unless I want to, it’s easier to set up solo

Vaude Taurus 2 Person Ultralight. It is very light (around 1 kg) for a full tent with no compromises. Good ventilation, excellent built quality, very quick assembly and quite small when packed. Withstood some intense winds. Cheaper compared to the Hubba Hubba series. I recommend it, although I will try a Hubba next.

I was going to go for an x-dome, but its still bulky (apart from short pole option) and the weight savings are mostly down to lower durability compromises. And i want something freestanding so i can park it anywhere. Its kind of limiting when i look at the options on the market and its mostly down to material limits. Noones making a distinctly better designed tent with better stuff thats also super light and compact.

This is the setup ive been using, and it works well enough although ive never been in a huge rainstorm with it. Ive been thinking of switching to an x-mid 1 or 2 to save both weight and space. Pretty expensive where I am though, just the basic x-mid 1 is like 415 Canadabucks after shipping and taxes.

I love my USGI shelter half/pup tents. They’re a bit heavy if you’re alone though. Best if you have a friend to carry the other half. However I need to replace mine soon because someone has decided that slipping out the bottom to cause problems is more fun

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09K5BT4DDI just bought the clostnature 2 person. I just set it up without the fly so far but it seems good for the price. The pockets are shit, but the tent is big enough I can just put my shit on the ground. I like it. Packs down small and has a ton of room on the inside.I don't understand why people are spending so much for a tent. It's just a tent.

I need a one man tent thats fully waterproof camping in high rainfall forest for weeks at a time in the most rugged conditions imaginable, has to be lightweight for hiking that one guy can carry through the dense vegitation. I will be carrying a backpack also, around a 60L army camo one not designed to carry a tent, that's the one I have in mind.

Never gone camping before. 0 experience. What gear do I need apart from a tent and a sleeping bag? Also it would be me + waifu who also has no experience but accepted to try it after 5 years of me telling her… I’m in northern Mexico and temperatures go between -15 to 35 degree celsius throughout the yearI see on this thread that there are plenty of brand options.

Hey bros, anyone had any experience with the Quechua MH100 from Decathlon? The reviews from YouTube and online seem really good considering price and such. I'm looking for a 3 person tent (or a tent that can fit 2 + equipment) that's a 3 season tent. I want to buy one for under a hundred euros as I'm just dipping my toes into camping solo and don't want to commit to the most expensive durable stuff yet. I'm looking to use it mostly for simple, easygoing wilderness camping and camp grounds (as I mentioned I am a complete beginner, other than camping a couple times with friends and family in a tent in camp grounds and RV's).If you guys have any other recommendations for other equipment I should check out too that would be greatly appreciated. For context I live in Austria where the wilderness camping laws are really fucking shit and strict but I can always go to a neighbouring country with a bit more freedom.

I spend most of my time finding a good spot and preparing the land for me to be there for a few days before going on to my next destination, and that entails raking out rocks and flattening weird holes/bumps, getting a spot that's a little elevated compared to other land, usually near where a tree will shade it in the evening and afternoon. I hate dealing with humidity in the morning in tents, I've never gotten use to it; when I had to live in a tent I carried around a canvas pole tent specifically to avoid it better along with learning autistic tent placement strategies to mitigate it. I enjoy being this dialed in but it's also exhausting, is there no better ways I'm just not aware of? If I could easily guarantee my tent is always comfortable I would gladly live out of a backpack for the rest of my life, but weight usually becomes an issue then. Does anyone else live like this? Any tent tips?

I recently started hiking and camping. Up until now, I've been using a tarp or just sleeping under the stars, but I've decided it's time to get a decent tent that won't break my poor fag wallet.I checked out the tents at a local outdoor store, but none of them seem to fit me (I'm 208 cm / 6'10 burgers tall). I have a question: would something like the Naturehike Star River 2 be a good option for someone my height?

On the topic of tarps / tents, here's something I never understood:Why does a tarp (or tent) have to be waterproof. Let alone need to be rated to several meters of hydrostatic head? Sure, so you don't get wet, duh. But: If you put up a tarp or tent such that all sides are angled (no water pooling on top) water will eventually soak into your fabric but I'd expect whatever makes it in to mostly drain through the fabric downwards and drip off the edge and in case even more water makes it in I still expect it to cling to the underside of the tarp and run down towards the edge after seeping through. I don't see how water would make it through and then just seperate from the tarp and drip down unless it's pitched at a very shallow angle. Did anyone test this? Like what if you just used plain cotton canvas as a tarp? Would it just rain through? >inb4 your soaked tarp would suck to stow the next morning that's not the point.

My previous tent (pic rel) failed me my last motorcycle camping holiday, after just the third shower (seams started leaking). Luckily I could return the bastard and get a refund, but have been somewhat anxious to get a new tent ever since, dont want this shit to happen after the warranty expired.Im planning a multiday hike in northern scandinavia coming september though, and hence need a new tent (traveling with two people, hence looking for a 3p tent), have no idea what to look out for. Is an exteremely wind/water/storm proof tent necessary? Hillebergs sure are nice, but just outside of my price range (willing to spend up to about 800-1000eu). Next to this, I would like it to be flexible enough to use for motorcycle camping in central/southern europe. Not very interested in ultra light tents due to durability reasons, and having to use walking poles.Any anons willing to give input in what is important for the shoulder season in scandinavia? And more importantly, what tent would you pick?
