Our Trail Life troop bought a bunch of the Alps Meramac 2-person tents for the troop. After a while I decided I liked the tent, but just wanted more room. So got the Taurus 4 person tent. Also switch from an air mattress to a cot. Now my back is happy, and because of the bigger tent, my head and feet are not poking into the sides of the tent.
r/camping • What gear purchase(s) changed your camping/hiking experience for the best? ->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? ->Anything by Alps mountaineering. Really good warrantee, great quality, good pricing.
r/camping • I need a new tent; what do you recommend? ->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 have never used an Ozark Trail tent, but I have used other store brand tents. My experience is the difference between a cheap tent and a half decent tent is waking up with a puddle in your tent. I recommend an Alps Mountaineering tent, but they will run you 100-150.
r/camping • Whats the cheapest 2 man tent you would recommend for someone who is looking to get into camping for the first time? ->I love my Alps tent and they’re not too expensive.
r/camping • I need a new tent; what do you recommend? ->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
