Just ordered the North Face Stormbreak 2. What tent are you rocking? What do you love and hate about it? What tent do you want?

The only thing to note here is the durston is probably a step above either of the other 2. Silpoly is also a plus in my book.

yeah I think so too, its probably the smartest single person tent design I've come across, and the price is pretty good.
but I just keep thinking how I'd prefer to have a proper A frame tent if I have to deal with two poles for pitchin the thing

Can you buy just the enclosed mesh with zipper door thing they use as "inner layer" in these commercial tents? I swear to god if i can solve the bug question my 3x3 tarp is already good enough as a shelter

Seatosummit or knockoffs has one which is a bottomless pyramid of netting which works really well if you are doing the whole tarp structure thing.

This is what I get for going for "3-person" tent because of muh comfort instead of biting the bullet and buying actually small one

I could use it in those commercial campgrounds you drive to but that's lame. Other use could be it I were to drive to bumfuck nowhere with no shelter for longer stay.

I want to get a tent. I'm a huge fisherman, but I'm also a bit of a hiker and a hunter. I can get fancy top-of-the-line tents for less than the full price of some cheaper brands, making the purchase of one of these fancy tents a no-brainer. I'm thinking about doing a multi-day kayak trip next summer. I'm also interested in hiking into remote fishing spots and spending a day or two and simply camping out instead of paying for a hotel room. I'm a big guy and have found 1 man tents to be too short. I value durability and ease of assembly over ultra-light. What brands and models should I consider?

I got this old canvas tent from the thrift store for about $15. I figured for the price that some of the poles were missing and I couldn't much info about it online but I figured it out and everything was there. Maybe one or 2 tiny holes and one of the bottom zippers needs fixing.

What makes a LARP tarp? Any tarp? If so what is wromg with tarps. Years ago I bought my polytarp in a hardware store. It's got holes now but I patched them. It's still going strong.
I just had to pitch it an hour ago. I never pitch it when setting up but when a drizzle starts it's up so fast.
The holes are from transporting it btw, not from using it.

Does anyone have any setups where they use a tarp as a windbreak near the tent? Potentially secured onto trees? I've always wanted to play around with that.

With a tarp you just yet up in a way that is the beyt compromise between what your environment allows and what you need to do.
Meanwhile your request sounds like setring up camp as a means to its own end.
Just do it it cant hurt to for example keep more of the weather off.

Pic of a windbreak. Or a lean to or whatever. You're welcome.
That night I came across someones wood, figured that's nice, did something against the rain on the other side. Slept in between. Had no wind related issues.
More?

MSR Hubba Hubba 2 with a a gear shed, the gear shed is great. Use that when I am not likely to be in storms or really bad weather. When there is a chance of a storm/strong wind then I use my Hilleberg Allak 2, and double pole it.

I use a MLD Duomid XL in nylon. I'm very tall and appreciate the huge floor space and headroom for only little weight. also love the extra space to store gear dry. Also it has an inner with bugnet and floor, but you can use it as tarp only configuration if you want to rough it.

I don't use hiking poles but a telescopic carbon fibre mountain staff which doubles as my tent pole, that makes pitching the tent very easy and the staff is strong enough to support my weight several times, so makes for a bomb proof tent pole.

I'm very happy with this tent and want no other. If you buy one remember to seam seal it and upgrade the lines with clam cleats for tensioning. you can do without, but there is a ton of lines and it makes it easier.

also excellent ventilation with the vent in the pyramid tip. but it takes some training to get the pitching of the tent seams to the ground right, a wee bit of a gap is nice for air circulation, too much and you get a draft in the shelter, especially when you don't use the inner. I only use the bug net inner which was fine up to -7°C at night outside in combination with a good sleeping bag, but there is closed fabric variants too in case you go cold weather camping and need a real two wall tent.

I saw a video of a guy with a literal pop-up tent. It's stored under tension and when you take it out, it pops up in seconds.

What is this type of tent called? Is it a gimmick or is is something that's fine for very casual camping?
