also, im a hobo currently using a tarp, saved up money and was thinking of getting the wild country helm 1 (picrel). would be nice to have an actual closed space at night. anyone have experience with wild country tents? i will put a tarp over it for extra protection.

Don't get it, don't det anything with a sleeve that the pole goes in, you want clips, you have to be able to set up quick before the downpour comes, never get anything that is not self standing, don't get minimalist gear because it sucks for durability, get something like pic related, the northface stormbreak 2, it has thick fabric and high sidewalls that keeps out wind and cold and holds in heat in winter and can open up and shade and vent in summer, it has 30 square feet of floor space so you can cook inside with your gear and dog

You don't want the walls to touch you, a rainfly takes one second to put on and I can still put mine up quicker, the helm is a meme tent and is not nice if the guy lines are not staked out this makes it an intermediary of tents that don't stand on their own and that is something that should be avoided

The helm if not staked out will be susceptible to the wind, when staked out its shell becomes ridged and the wind flows over it but if not staked out the wind will catch it and it will flap around or even fail catastrophically, being a hobo means you don't get the best ground to set up on as you need to be out of sight out of mind in order not to create a blightfull appearance and sometimes that ground won't accept a tent stake, if you want something smaller go with the stormbreak 1, try to avoid over engineered tents with computer design geometry made by an artist and imstead go with a tent that someone made who would leverage their lives aginst its function go for simple and strong,

i have the helm 1. it's a solid and robust tent. close to 4 season i'd say. it sheds wind and snow easily.

>i will put a tarp over it for extra protection.
why? it's not necessary.

the problem with the helm 1 is the weight.
2kg is a lot for a 1 person tent. especially when you get so little sleeping space (though it does have generous porch space).
unless you're planning to spend a lot of time camping in bad weather i'd say you'd be better with a trekking pole style tent. half the weight. a lot more space inside. even if you do need a tent with poles i feel there are probably better options around then the helm 1 nowadays.

i will use it almost everyday, if the wind or rain doesnt kill it, the UV radiation from daily exposure will make it transparent, no?

so i watched a few videos of the stormbreak 1 and it looks really solid. would it become transparent from UV after time?

also, im confused how to set this up while it rains, seems to me like it would get completely wet inside while you set it up, before you can put on the rainfly.

This $80 AUD piece of borsht I bought in 2021 has actually survived a dozen car camping trips with only a single broken pole segment to show for it, which I fixed with a new carbon tube. It's seen some pretty rough winds too most recently. Still keeps the rain out, although there's not much of that where I live.
I keep looking at upgrades but can't find a reason to replace this thing yet, it does what I want.

then you should get something larger than a 1 man tent. maybe you don't appreciate how small a 1 man tent is inside. there is no room to move. it's a struggle to get dressed inside, or do anything other than sleep.
if you're planning to live inside the tent i would be looking at a spacious 2 man tent as a minimum, or better a 3 man tent. something with high head height so you can sit up inside and get dressed, and store your gear inside.

Start brand is it?

I've always favoured smaller, lighter tents. Being cheaper is just a bonus really, the way I see it the tent is just an umbrella, wind break, fly net. It's not worth investing in unless snow is a factor.

Spend the money on a good foam roll, sleeping bag, ground sheet, fly. And you could say that this is over investing in a shitty tent but I think it's important to get a full kit first. And a lot of that stuff is still just as useful if you get a better tent

Meanwhile casuals spend hours setting up a whole camp of expensive toys, then never leave camp. They just sit all day in their tent.

There's nothing better than spending two days rucking, coming back to a car, throwing everything in the boot, bucket showering and just going to sleep clean in the back seat with a blanket

People have suggested a hex tarp, or a hammock, but I'd need insect netting in a hex and then a ground sheet, and have no air seal. A hammock would be OK but trees around here tend to drop one ton branches and poisonous bears so nobody camps under trees

Over the years I've bought 2 Ionospheres, a Scorpion 3 and also a Softie 9 Hawk sleeping bag from them. They should sponsor me.

Snugpak Ionosphere is a solid tent. I got mine second hand for less than £100 each. At 1.5kg they're close to ultralight but the main features I would say are the durability and stealth. For a hooped bivvy they're pretty spacious too.

The main detractor for me is having to put the inner up first and then the outer sheet over the top. It's easy to set up but rain can get in while setting the inner up before the outer sheet.

I just bought a Terra Nova Laser Compact 1 to reduce weight by 500g, reduce pack size, increase head space, but mainly because the inner and outer can be pitched together. Terra Nova Laser Compact 1 is about 4x the price of Snugpak Ionosphere though.

Ventilation and the feeling of openness when the weather is nice
For the weight of two zippers, it's well worth having the option

Used Vango Banshee for well over a decade.
Bought a Wild Country Coshee.
Quality wasn't as good as Vango.
Bought another Vango Banshee.
Quality wasn't as good as the old one.
Still better than Wild Country Coshee tho.

But in all seriousness. Air tents are not to be trusted. And these tents are meant for festival camps and not hiking. But sure as hell comfy. Outwell makes the best tents when you want to feel like a king at a campsite but don't have the cash to buy a caravan

I've considered getting the FIDO 2 AI for moto camping. The idea of having a tent that can go from Texas warm weather to Deadhorse AK cool weather at 9 lbs. In the summer I can ditch the cold kit to 5.9 lbs. Its nice you can set up the fly first if I get to camp and its raining.

The price though.

Naturehike Cloud Up 2
Paid 130€ for the 20D version (210T is 20% heavier) during some sale.
I'm very happy with it. Everything feels high quality, it's big enough that 2 adults can fit inside to sleep. If you add your backpacks inside rather than in the vestibule it gets a little tight, but even that's doable.
In general it's definitely a hiking tent, so you don't want to live in it for a week or so, you use it to sleep, pack gear and eat breakfast at most, because there's just enough room for one person to sit up and that's it, but you can't really expect a giant inside space from a hiking tent.
Overall everything about it feels high quality and well thought out, I never had a moment where I was unsure or afraid if it could handle a storm or something.
As for downsides: Ventilation is just kinda middle of the field, not unusable, but if you only ever camp in hot places one with better ventilation is probably better.
You can't really set up the outer before the inner, which is a bit of a shame when building it while it rains. You kind of can if you really have to, but it's clear it's not designed for that.
Lastly, stay clear of the 4 season version. It's worse in every way and not suited for 4 seasons, just don't get it.
Overall it's a great allrounder. Big enough for 2 people if needed, small enough you don't feel bitter about the added weight when hiking alone. Tall enough that you can just barely sit up, small enough that you can kinda stealth camp depending on where you are. Cheap enough where you pay substantially less than most people with high quality tents yet expensive enough that it can have higher quality parts that won't break after a handful of uses.
I very much love it.

I've never used it in snow, only in high wind and rain which it did great in. I would use it in snow though.

I started out with the Lofoten. It's ~500g and micro pack size, it goes in the outside pocket of my bag and is very easy to set up, so is super convenient as an ultra light weight hiking tent. In it's element it's great but it's not well suited for winter. Even on cooler spring and autumn nights the condensation becomes an issue and I'm not sure it would do well in heavy wind or rain.

That's why I added the Hilleberg Enan. It's ~1kg which is still ok for a light weight hiking tent but can handle much worse weather than the Lofoten and is more durable, giving me the option to comfortably to camp pretty much all year around where I live at the minimum viable weight.

Nordisk Telemark 2.2 and Hilleberg Nallo 3 are a bit heavier but that sounds super super comfy once you have them set up. Do you carry them long distances? If so what size bag do you carry with them?

I've only heard good things about the Lanshan tents, with most complaints being user error (especially before they changed the seam seal stuff). I just knew I wanted something freestanding and I prefer this layout especially when it's 2 people. The Lanshan has a nicer way to enter the tent though in my opinion, and it's lighter partially due to design and partially due to not being freestanding.
I think the cloud up and the lanshan are both great just with different focuses and as a result if you have one there's no reason to get the other as well. I kinda like the idea of having a lanshan 1 for weightgains and because I often carry hiking poles anyways, but similar to your situation I can't bring myself to get one because it's just too little difference between the two.

So they got worked up over that tent and topic veered into about small greenhouse I helped to take down few months ago before winter(they were making a point why it's was a good thing I listened to them and took down the tent - it's about to snow again. While I wanted to test the damn thing against bad weather).
Thing is I FORGOT I helped take down the greenhouse.
No, not forgot to help take down the greenhouse. I forgot that I did help them take it down. They fucking ripped into me verbally accusing me of being infantile because of harmless lapse of memory over something I had little interest remembering. And they got upset when I just had enough and went back to my room.
I understand that I might be weirdo shut-in who had no life skills, but FUCKING HELL. They keep shaming and gaslighting me over shit while I'm already self-conscious as hell and have self-esteem issues from childhood bullying. Them making me feel even more like a failure isn't going to fix anything. IT'S BEEN SEVERAL YEARS SINCE I BECAME AN ADULT.
All because of fucking tent and neighbor they sometimes chat with by the fence.

Time to get the fuck out, then you can do whatever the fuck you want whenever the fuck you want to (however that also means fixing your own fuckups).
>They keep shaming and gaslighting me over shit while I'm already self-conscious as hell and have self-esteem issues from childhood bullying.
It's impossible to know how much of this is true and how much of it is from you being an unreliable narrator (I'm not trying to be mean, few people ever are in a conflict). If you have been bullied and it had lasting effects to the point of anxiety now, therapy is probably a good idea, I've been to therapy myself (though for entirely different issues) and it helped me a lot - however the reason it did help me a lot was because I put in effort. Therapy isn't like a pill, it only works if you cooperate.

My current living location is simply too good when it comes to getting to job, so I kinda don't want to do, especially that rent would eat a good chunk of my wage and parents quite don't want me to leave due to potential care-taking stuff in future.
I need to go out more often and find a gf. I wouldn't be surprised they treat me in this weird way because I seem like an infantile loser.

Did I mention they drink alcohol, especially in evenings? I need to actually research how much their behavior changes. My father actually scolded my year ago in New Year for not trying to offer a room for a night to that one fat single mother(a friend of relative) who happened to come. Of course he was drunk and never mentioned that again...

I'm from Austria, we don't have a lot of long hikes here so sofar it has only been overnighters or 3 day tours. so the weight is really no problem (telemark is about 1kg, hilleberg is like 2.7 but for 2-3 people). for bag I have an osprey talon 55, its okayish but I don't like the outside fixtures of it, very limited option for carrying bulky-but-light stuff on the outside.
whats your bag?

I am 6'3" and I can comfortably both sit and lay inside the tent. Also, the F2 tent cost me about 35€ from the military surplus store, so it has delivered great bang for the buck over the years.

I wasnt him, but nothing about you getting the house if you take care of them when the time comes means staying there now is a good idea.

You seem to be blaming a lot on factors you arent controlling by staying there

Many well adjusted people drink alcohol, especially on new years
Fewer well adjusted people never move out of their parents house
Do it

Your parents enjoying a drink isnt a reason for you to not like, function.

Not remembering something like taking down a greenhouse is kinda weird sounding. Like ok, but not remembering it at all? Then storming too your room in your parents house cuz your an adult?

Move out man. Its time
