Lynx 3-Person Tent

Alps Lynx 3/4 person. The best tent I've ever had cant say better things. Going strong 5 years+ with a couple uses a year.

Alpa mountaineering 3. Its held up well over the years and its easy to set up and break down

I highly recommend Alps Mountaineering. Their 3 person tents range from $220-$300. They have a 4 season option. But if you want a super cheap option Academy has the Tellico 3 person tent for $30.

I love my Alps tent and they’re not too expensive.

Personally I have two Gazelle knock offs that are just absolute chefs kiss. Unfortunately that company sucks and they don’t make them anymore. I would be hesitant to buy an Ozark Trail tent, but I do have a $30 tent from Academy that I use for outdoor storage and it stays surprisingly dry. I love my Alps tent, and I think it was Eric on YouTube that did a budget trip and the Featherstone tent he really liked.

I've spent a lot of time in my Alps Mountaineering tent. It's not the best quality, or lightest, or cheapest, but it's the best of all 3. Great quality, not too bad on the price, and very easy to set up.

I originally bought the Timberline 2 for backpacking in rugged terrain during Fall/Winter seasons in northern VT and NY. The simple A-frame style is superior to most designs in high wind or snowy conditions, but most folks today demand more space and comfort. As a retiree, with creaky bones, who can no longer manage hiking, I now normally use an Alps 3-man dome tent or a Core 4 cabin-walled tent. These two are not as rugged as the Timberline, but are spacious and inexpensive. I drive an F150 with a full 8' canopy so I keep the Timberline is case of full-storm weather. The Pacific coast can have wicked winds and sheeting rain during the colder months.

Second on Hiker Direct. I really like the Taurus Outfitter tent. But don't save money by getting the regular Taurus (it has fiberglass poles vs the outfitter aluminum. Get the Lynx with aluminum poles. They are essentially the same tent. The outfitter has a thicker floor material and beefier zippers. The outfitter has cloth walls with smaller mesh vents at the top. The Lynx has a lot more mesh, like halfway down the sides of the tent, which helps make it lighter weight. I have the Taurus Outfitter 2 for myself and bought my son the Taurus Outfitter 3 so it's easier to buddy up. Out troop has the Lynx 3 (maybe it's the Lynx 4) and they work great too. We are in the North East also.
