"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"has withstood the last week of winds over 70 freezing kph."
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."

"If i was only planning to camp in places where i knew i would be able to stake into the ground I might have kept it."
For shelter/ tent… I will give you a pro tip…. Start with a 2man tent… I really like the Alps brand for entry level tents and here is why. We use them in Boy Scout troops where the kids are tough on gear…. They stand up…. You can get them off Amazon for the best prices and there is a huge selection…. They also back up their gear if something breaks- if the tents gets wet - set it up at home to air it out dry….
r/CampingandHiking • I want to get into wilderness camping/hiking, I have a 1k budget what are the main necessities I need? ->Anything by Alps mountaineering. Really good warrantee, great quality, good pricing.
r/camping • I need a new tent; what do you recommend? ->Alps Mountaineering Lynx 2p (if backpacking) or 4p (if it is to be shared and car camping) Great tent, easy to put up, strong build, cheap side.
r/BSA • New scout tent recommendations ->All the tents from Alps mountaineering have treated me very well in wind and rain. Colemans not so much.
r/camping • Looking for a 2P tent less than $250 that'll mostly be used for car camping ->I love my Alps tent and they’re not too expensive.
r/camping • I need a new tent; what do you recommend? ->I kind of have a soft spot for and like this style of tent (I had an alps brand 2p version that i used for myself and my dog, it was reasonably priced), but I gave mine to a friend in favor of switching to an "ultralight" freestanding tent instead. If i was only planning to camp in places where i knew i would be able to stake into the ground I might have kept it.
r/CampingGear • Looking into getting my first real tent, would this be suitable? ->I have Lynx 2 and confirm this. Tested in Torres del Paines winds and Cerro Tronador summit among others in Patagonia.
r/CampingGear • Best backpacking tent under $150/200? ->Kelty and Alps Mountaineering have both been good to me. Quality gear at excellent prices. I often reach for my alps gear more than my expensive MSR gear sometimes. Anecdotally, my Kelty Grand Mesa has lasted me almost 20 years. Still waterproof. My Alps Mountaineering tent has withstood several Pacific Northwest storms and many nights of absolutely frigid temps. Hasn’t let me down either. Check out discount websites like Sierra.com and Steep&Cheap for good sales.
r/CampingGear • Camping tents for Teens ->Second on the Alps, and I also own a Nemo dragonfly osmo. Some people will say they aren't necessary, but I disagree 100 percent, especially in your use case. Get. a. ground cloth/footprint. Even if it's a $4 dollar general blue tarp. If somebody in the troop has access to tyvek housewrap, even better. You can run that through a wash and dry cycle and make it a lot less crinkly if you want. Unless you plan on camping on carpeting, there will inevitably be a stick, rock, piece of broken glass or debris that will scratch or puncture your floor. As far as purchasing, also keep an eye on the REI Garage Sale. I've seen some really good deals on things that were returned after a couple uses or missing an item that could be easily replaced.
r/CampingGear • HALP! I'm lost in the weeds of tent recommendations ->No. Just get an Alps Mountaneering and save yourself a lot of aggravation.
r/camping • Ozark Trail Tent Experience? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
