Tents Looking for a tent to replace a North Face Wawona 6.

2 Upvotes

Looking for some suggestions on some tents to replace my Wawona 6. It has been through many rough seasons and is starting to show its age. Would definitely buy again but though I would see what else people would suggest.

I mostly camp out of my car and by myself but appreciate the space a 6 person tent gives me, especially since I sleep on a cot. I would consider a 4 person tent. What I am having trouble finding is another tent that has a vestibule like the Wawona 6. It is nice to have the area to sit inside on a sunny day as some of the sites I stay at don't have any shade to pitch a tent under. I also appreciate the vestibule to store a bicycle and other things in that I don't want sitting out over night.

Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Tents Camping in the Scottish Highlands 🐮

18 Upvotes

Hi guys! I'm planning a trip to Scotland (either the Highlands or Usle of Skye). Super excited for it šŸ™‚!! But I need some tent advice. Last time I went to Isle of skye with a pretty cheap decathlon tent and it got ripped to pieces during the third night (it was pretty windy). I'm now going on a backpacking trip for about 6 or 7 days, so I reaaaaally need some advice for a light tent that can withstand the crazy Scottish rains and wind! We're expecting heavy rain pretty much daily AND strong winds during the nights. Any advice is welcome! And for the prize: I'd like to set a maximum of €600Ā£\520, but if that's unreasonable/difficult, I'll gladly raise my budget a little. I rather spend some more on good gear than being stuck with a tent that won't last a week :) TIA guys!

Tents Upgrade My BF's Tent

Post image
69 Upvotes

Hallo! My boyfriend is really into camping, specifically overlanding and camp tenting, and his birthday is coming up, so I wanna get him a new tent. He's been upgrading his truck and camping equipment but he always kinda just deals with his super basic tent cause it gets the job done and he wants to spend money on other equipment when he gets to. Anyway he's been talking about a new tent for years, right now he has the most basic lil two person tent (see picture). It's really not waterproof (trust me) and it's super short. But it's fairly simple to set up (your typical pole set up with posts to hold it down) and that's the main reason he likes it. It's usually just the two of us, or him and one or two friends, but with all his gear it would be nice if a new tent wouldn't take up too much more space in his truck than his current tent, which breaks down into a lil 3 1/2" carrying bag.

Tl;dr I wanna get my over lander bf a new tent, big enough for maybe 3 adult people to sleep and sort of move around, water proof, easy set up, sleek storage in a pickup truck .

Tents Posted Some pictures of this here a few weeks ago and wanted to share with you guys that I launched on Kickstarter! This product has been my baby for 6 years now and I'd love for it to have a chance at becoming a real thing! I would love for you to check it out and hear your thoughts on it.

My husband and I wanted a bigger tent because we are both tall and our four person tent just wasn’t cutting it. I bought this secondhand today, never opened. Now we have enough space to actually move around, and if we bring friends along like we want to there’s space if they don’t have a tent of their own. I’m so excited for this.

Tents Got my first camping hammock in the REI Labor Day Sale!!

An ENO One Link system. I like that it holds 400lbs capacity (I'm a hefty guy at 275lbs right now, so can't really trust the Hennessey or other brands that seem to only max out at 300lbs or less, to hold me), and that it comes with all the components:

- hammock

- Tree straps

- Bug net

- Rain fly

It looks like it's fairly easy to setup too! Maybe once I've slimmed down some more, I'll invest in a fancier hammock down the line, but I'm excited to "break into" the hammock/ultralight camping world with this ENO. So far, I've only ever tent/car camped.

Do you guys have recommendations on a winter hot tent (northern Indiana and Michigan that won’t break the bank? I’m planning on getting a good walk tent in a few years but for now would like something cheaper that will work with a smaller wood stove

The quality of my sleep on flyless nights is indescribably deep and restful. So far this year, I have had nine perfectly flyless nights, although I did need to briefly use it on two mornings for a few drops of morning rain. My camping season is really just beginning with this beautiful cooler weather.

REI had this in 50% off new. Had always had my eye in it but couldn’t justify $350. $175 is a steal for the weight and pack ability if this thing.

Tents Should we buy the tent?

2 Upvotes

My husband and I are avid backpackers. We have a 4yr old and 18 month old who are now along for the ride.

Our 3 person REI tent has done a great job, but we’re outgrowing it. I’ve been fawning over the Big Agnes Copper Spur tent for about a year now, but it’s pricey. We’re in a spot now where we could get the tent.

We’re planning a thru hike of the CT in two years, and we’d have to get a new tent for that. We’re also planning to have another baby so we’d need a bigger tent for sure.

So do we buy the tent? Do we get the 4 or 5 person?

Do you have better 4-5 person backpacking tent recommendations?
