Post your tents, your tentfu, which will be your next acquisition, etcI currently have my first tent (a typical cheap igloo camping tent, Hummer Igloo 3+) and 2 ultra light 3 season tents (forclaz mt900 tarp tent for 1 and 2 persons). I have used the latter in high mountain before, during summer (which is still cold), but usually in this part of Los Andes the wind is too strong for my tent. So I'm planning to buy a 4 season tent more appropriate for high-altitude and strong winds.Around here most people use the mountaineering line of Doite, pic related would be the one appropriate for my needs. The thing is that here tents are particularly expensive (that one costs +400usd), and I think I might be able to buy something half that price in the US, but I'm not familiar with US brands. Which one would you recommend?
Nice stock image, fatso
>>2866985I've got a Lanshan 2 for trekking and some free-standing 4-person 'instant up' tent from Aldi. Haven't used the latter yet but I wanted something more spacious for two people when we're car camping (or at least camping in places where you're not more than a couple of hours from the trailhead).
>>2866990Of course it's a stock image braindead, I literally said it's a tent I like, not one I own.

I'm OP. I've also noticed that almost no 4-season tents in the US have snow skirts. Why aren't they used there?
>>2866985I have a 6 Moons Lunar Solo but I'm not really happy with it. I've had it blow over a few times in high winds and there isn't enough head space near the ends even if I guy out the panels. Thinking about selling it on fleabay and grabbing a Big Agnes Copper Spur UL2. I've heard 2 person tents are much more "livable" for long trips.
Tell me why I should not buy a Hilleberg tent?
>>2867033Bc they're overkill. A 4-season tent should be dual-walled, fly right down to the ground, limited mesh on the inner, and multiple vents on the fly. Mountaineering tents would have skirts.
Here's my Xmid 2pro
>>2866985There is only.one tent that was made almost perfect. But because of that it is no longer produced.The one and only.

>>2866985I have a Kelty Salida 1 that I got like new for $10.
I camped in the rain and then left the tent packed up for several months now it's got a bunch of mold on itYes I know I'm retardedWhat's the best way to fix this?
Just bought a tent. Now, I'm going to buy a sleeping bag and pad. I'm thinking I will go with NEMO but can't decide between the Forte and the Disco. I am 6'1" and 235 lb. I tried different bag sizes in store. I like regular wide. Should I get a bag liner? If so, what size?
*ahem*
USMC pop-up tent if anyone's curious.
Any anon who has a recommendation for a cheapish tent with light-proof material? Is canvas ok, or a Zeltbahn? Weight is not much of an issue. I'd like to sleep in the garden but the street lights are too bright in direct line of sight ;_;
Free tent gang. Ex lives in same building as me and blasted my door to drop her 2 person peak one off because she used it 3 times and thinks it’s broken because we got wet last summer. I think it’s beacause I set it up in the dark blasted on shrooms and left the rainflys open while we partied, but hey, free tent. No more Mr hikes with kikes for car camping unless I want to, it’s easier to set up solo
this shit. It's prety heavy but very tough & has plenty of space inside. i payed 450 trumpcoins for it a couple years ago.
>>2867660Is that insulated? You some sort of Russian? I like the Zionist and peak (it was actually a 3 person) because they’re high tub mesh wall tents when you flip the rainfly off and you aren’t crawling into an opaque walled tomb
>>2867234Neutral soap and white vinegar.>>2867065I'm getting into mountaineering.
>>2867008Nice. GoLite should have stayed j in n their lane. The world wasn’t ready. >>2867035>fell over in windSkill issue>head roomDesign flaw. The single trekking pole, non-free standing designs all suffer from it. Trekking poles are all about the same length so the peak of these tens it’s close to the same. And no matter how long the floor is it doesn’t change the headroom all that much. Great for women and men who are as tall as women. Or if you sleep curled up or something, I guess. I really want to love the idea but it’s been around forever and has always had that issue.>>2867071No one ever mentions how this design was totally ignored when Sierra Designs came up with it. It’s crazy how no one else has bothered to use the offset two pole layout. >>2867252Terrible. >>2867660That tent is designed for legitimate winter conditions, specifically high winds and snow loads.>so it must be even better in summer!No. It’s a god awful choice like all winter tents. There’s basically zero ventilation by design because they expect people using it to not be retarded.
>>2866985I just got the Naturehike Star Trails EXT from aliexpress for just 90€ for my summer /out/It's incredible that thing is only 780g (without the pegs)
>>2867663>>2867939> That tent is designed for legitimate winter conditions, specifically high winds and snow loads.i earn my living in a geology related area in Patagonia, i do need this tent. In summer i just remove the fly.
Vaude Taurus 2 Person Ultralight. It is very light (around 1 kg) for a full tent with no compromises. Good ventilation, excellent built quality, very quick assembly and quite small when packed. Withstood some intense winds. Cheaper compared to the Hubba Hubba series. I recommend it, although I will try a Hubba next.
>>2867295Rate it. Was it decent to use?
>>2867234>>2867931 This but with warm water, wear a mask, safety glasses, gloves.
>>2868223This is a fiberglass free safe space chuddy, take your cancer rods somewhere else
>>2866999>66999niceI'm a full timer or wanderer or whatever. I bought a onetigres jovian last year and have spend over 200 nights in it, most of them standing for 2 weeks at a time taking the sun. It's still in great shape. It's heavy as fuck I think it's 13 pounds. So for me it's car camping only maybe if you're a super dad you can lug it a mile for state park primitive camping. But it's huge and bombproof I've had it up on mountain faces getting 40mph winds it's a good tent for car camping.
>>2868177It was decent enough in my opinion.
