Meramac 6-Person Tent

I have a Alps Mountaineering Merrimack? It's a 6 person tent. It's not super small or light but it goes up and packs down easy, has plenty of room, has been durable, can't complain. I also bring a folding cot along. That's helped my sleep immensely when I'm out camping

Third on the ALPS Mountaineering tents. My family has used a 6P for car camping for several years. We use an orange plastic tarp for a groundsheet. It has aluminum poles.

Anything by Alps mountaineering. Really good warrantee, great quality, good pricing.

Look into Coleman for decent and affordable. I've been happy with Alps Mountaineering on Amazon. Best suggestions I can offer.

All the tents from Alps mountaineering have treated me very well in wind and rain. Colemans not so much.

Yeah the marketing is so bad. There are 3 season tents that are better suited for colder climates but they aren't advertised like that. So weird. In the south, I recommend Kelty tents a lot because their 2 layer tents have almost-full mesh bodies. I notice that people in the northern US swear by Alps Mountaineering tents... their bodies happen to have a lot less mesh in the body. They're like 3.5 season tents, lol (but they'd be bad in the south).

I have two Alps Mountaineering tents that are longer than most backpacking tents. Idk if it's their standard or what but I like it for storage purposes.
