texasmed posted:big agnes makes a good tent. the more you pay, the lighter they normally are so they can be good if you're hiking out to somewhere. the best way to camp though, is to get a big giant tent and just set up next to somewhere you can park a car so you don't have to carry anything those x person tent ratings are bullshit. they expect you to stack people in there like it was a slave ship. i need space to be me.

if you don't know why it's worth having a nice expensive tent then you probably aren't at the point where you would need a nice expensive tent

I think it's like X 5"6" 110lb people packed in like sardines. I've had a few 1-3 man tents that I couldn't lay in without my feet and head touching the walls, which really sucks when you wake up all covered in condensation in the morning.

This poo poo is a steal for 50 bucks: http://www.amazon.com/Coleman-2000001978-Parent-Hooligan-Tent/dp/B00V85D0EY I used that poo poo for three summers, its so easy to set up you can do it in pitch-darkness, it's nice and roomy for one person, and it keeps the wind and water out great. It's tall enough to sit up and move around it, and if you're alone, you can keep your pack in it too. It's also got a vestibule you can put wet raingear or shoes in without getting water/dirt inside. It's a little tight for two adults but gently caress sharing a tent. And it's cheap.

You didn't post a link to the tent in question, or even a photo of it. How are we supposed to assist you???? I've seen tents that have multiple rooms and central areas that cost thousands, and I've seen one-person pup tents that cost less than $20. Give us details!!!!!!

tankadillo posted:if you don't know why it's worth having a nice expensive tent then you probably aren't at the point where you would need a nice expensive tent Return Of JimmyJars posted:That's kinda bullshit unless you can enunciate it I'll elaborate. A lot of nice expensive tents, especially those designed for backpacking cost so much because they are made of ultralight materials and are designed to minimize pack space. Unless you need a tent that packs down small and weighs only a couple pounds because you are going to be carrying it for many miles and for long periods of time this is a waste of money. By design, these tents are minimalist and significantly less durable because of compromises made to save weight (very thin fabrics, small vestibules, no footprint, etc). If you are going to be parking your car next to your campsite, there is no reason to spend extra money for something that will be less durable, less functional, and have less features than a $75 Coleman tent. I have a couple very nice, expensive tents that I use for hiking but if I'm going to be camping next to my car then I most certainly wont be using one. Some other expensive tents you'll see are whats called a "4-season" tent. These are designed to be used in winter conditions where maybe you get covered in snow overnight. These will have special design considerations such that the frame can support a load of snow on top, maintain a high degree of water resistance, and prevent you from asphyxiating while you sleep due to being buried in snow. Again if you aren't going to be camping in these conditions, you're wasting money.

If you are going to hike miles into the woods and camp in the rain or during shoulder seasons it is worth it to have a modern, lightweight dome tent. If you are just going to drink bud light in a state park campground full of RV's on labor day, you are fine with a walmart tent.

If you are just going to drink bud light in a state park campground full of RV's on labor day, you are fine with a walmart tent. I live in Texas so yeah I'm just going to drink about 14 shiners by a camp fire and then lay down somewhere. Based on this threads advice I bought a $40 4 person tent at target. It's currently setup in my theater where I'm sitting right now, lol

I knew a family growing up who had a huge military tent set up permanently on land they did not own, with a wooden floor and toilet It was especially weird because it was like 200 yards from their McMansion style house in a partially abandoned subdivision  If asked its purpose they'd look at you confused and say "fer huntin" OH and they drove ATVs all 200 yards to it because that's what you do, you drive ATVs to "the woods" and drink, in a tent. I don't know what they hoped to murder on state land next to empty subdivision plots
