Solid start. Great choice on the bag, the Nemo pad and sleeping bag and stove. I have the same style stove and the big round end like the one you got vs the jet is definitely the way to go. For the sleeping pad I would make sure the long will fit where you need it. Definitely get the wide but I have the standard/wide and I’m 6’2 and it’s perfect. If you are above 6’2 and it will fit in your tent go with the long. Also, get a Nemo switchback to go under it. It acts as sorta a boxspring and make your night wayyyy more comfortable. For the sleeping bag I would recommend looking into quilts. If you are going to go the sleeping bag route the Nemo is the only way to go. However I had a Nemo sleeping bag and swapped it out for a quilt and never looked back. For the tent I would also recommend a trekking pole tent. Look into the Lanshan 1 or 2. I have the 1 and absolutely love it. Get the standard Not the pro!

Of my Zpacks, Durston, and Lanshan tents, the Durston is slightly easier to pitch on flat, spacious sites; Zpacks and Lanshan are easier in other conditions. For a detailed guide, Darwin has an excellent video on pitching this tent type.

Oh boy... too many. 1. Okay we still have our 35 year old family Coleman. haven't used it in 25+ but its sort of a relic to the uppermost shelf of our closet. Like my childhood dollhouse, i just keep it around for sentimentality. 2. My winter tent is a 15 year old dark green 1.5p that's sturdy AF, moderately heavy, and needs to be seam sealed again but still going strong. I don't do a lot of winter hiking so no need to get a new one, just occasionally needs to be re-waterproofed. 3. Lanshan 1, mixed feelings about it. I find it hard to pitch on any sort of rocky terrain and it sure is fiddly, but I really like other aspects about it. Let's call it a draw, Lanshan. 4. Cloud Up 1 pro, LOVE LOVE LOVE this tent other than it's in the beige shade and 2 months after I bought it they released it in dark green. \*pouts I love it so much I may spend the $80 freakin' dollars to get a second fly for it grumble grumble (or maybe I'll just get dark green camo netting and carry it extra) 5. Mongar 2 UL. My latest edition. I needed a 2 person tent and this is a great value and seems really good quality. I've only used it twice but impressions are favorable. It's really big. Maybe that's just because I'm used to 1p tents. 6. Geertop Plume 2 bivy tent. Hmmm... they have bad customer service, let's get that out of the way. It's also polyester and heavy and a bivy so condensation is an issue. All that said, I really like this tent. It's BEYOND stealthy. Heck, in low lighting I can literally stand next to it and barely see it. It's also surprisingly comfortable and well laid out for a bivy. 7. And three bivy bags and a tarp. I haven't really had the chance to try cowboy tent camping yet. TLDR: 10 if you include the bags and tarp. Favorite: Cloud Up 1 pro, least favorite: lanshan 1

I have a 3ful lanshan 1 and I'm very happy with it. I've had msr and big agnes tents in the past but just can't justify the price any more

I paid $170 for a 3FUL lanshan 1 and it’s awesome. 1.52 lbs. I liked it so much I bought the 2 person version. Had to wait about 3 months in 2020 I believe, but well worth it. Edit: sorry, just saw the 75mph rating and semi-free standing. But this is still a great tent.

I purchased a Lanshan 1 person tent to replace my old Easton Kilo 1 person. It was cheap and I needed to seam seal but held up well on a six month thru hike on the National Trail Australia which I completed in April this year. You do need a hiking pole but for the money I was impressed. Tilly (igotupandwalked.com)

I've used the Lanshan 1 (3 seasons) in both summer and snow. It's great. I couldn't even find used tents at this price and similar weight last year. I definitely wouldn't choose this tent if I wanted to sleep in one place for a week. If you have companion price is good. (You need 2 poles, for me this is useless stuff during trip so I prefer lower weight over greater space. )

1kg solo tent that is wind resistant? Either you [will fit inside the Lanshan](https://fitmytent.com/) / Asta Gear Shan Zhu 1 (10D silnylon version) or you have to triple the budget and look for good deals on single-arc tunnel tents. You must either accept the higher weight (and go with some bulletproof Vango or Decathlon tent) or worse weather resistance (and stick to some light variant of Mongar / Star River). Or go down the tarp route (check budget setups advised on r/Ultralight ). Good down bags are getting more and more expensive lately and it's the hardest element to save money on at the moment due to the down prices. Here's no middle ground. You either go for something really cheap that isn't ideal, but may just work or need to pay a lot for high-end products. The stuff that isn't expensive, but also isn't cheap, quite often ends up being almost as bad as the cheapest ones. For the very first trips grab huge panniers or carry a backpack and simply go with the cheapest synthetic bag for conditions you may need (Decathlon, Vango). Sleeping pad would be easiest to get something usable cheaply. Go for some popular model from Naturehike - should be cheap and survive bunch of first trips. Even if they are not properly rated, the one sold as '5.7 R-Value' should be enough for 3-season use, while much cheaper than pads like StS Ultralight Insulated or some NeoAir. Grab cheap kit, do a trip or two in summer. Pay attention to what works for you and your trip and what doesn't and slowly evolve your kit. Getting a starter kit from Decathlon has an advantage of their '2nd Life' program, that let's you sell the used stuff back easily and quickly.
