I'm not sure this question deserve a new thread so I'm necroing this thread. I'm searching the forums but I can't find if there is a tent buying suggestion thread. I'm about to camp near the beach with a lot of heat and rain and I wanted to know what would be the best one or what to look for in a tent.
I'm going to read threads on the subject anyway but I wanted to know if there is a comprehensive guide anywhere in the forums.

There was a decent episode on camping on Adam Savage's podcast.

It almost made me want to go camping.

You totally should, you might end up liking it and it's a hell of a lot cheaper than most stuff you can do while on vacation.

I prefer to camp on someone's backyard, near beaches and on some cities on the mountains there is aways people that already have some infra-structure on their backyards for multiple campers, I don't know how to call that in English exactly, but there are some that are pretty neat with a hot shower, a stove and everything. I can totally cope with cold showers and less than ideal installations but I'm not sure what would I think about actually crapping in the woods.

I really wanted a thermarest, they seem just about perfect for me, specially the light one that only weights 700 grams , but the price after money conversion and taxes and all that poo poo to bring it to my country amount to something like what 720 dollars would be to an american.
