"The CCA trio and the Vader Balanced are similarly tuned, but both are one of the best iems under 30 usd."
"I downgraded from the meet 2 to se since I was only using 1080p and am happy with my choice! ... If you’re planning on just doing 1080p I’d save the cash and go meet se."
"JLab go sport + FTW. ... I have the same sweaty ear issue and the beats fall out of my head. ... The jlab are cheap and even they stay in. (Because they hook over your ear)"

"We had a rainy trip one year and having the extra room to hang out in the tent playing board games made the kids happy."
"We are a family of three and it is perfect!"
"for four people, especially two that are still growing, go for the 10 person. ... I guess you can get all four into the six person, but there won't be room for much else and you'll be tripping over each other if someone needs to go pee in the middle of the night or whatever."

Anything by Alps mountaineering. Really good warrantee, great quality, good pricing.
r/camping • I need a new tent; what do you recommend? ->Alps 6 person with vestibule. Holds up to wind and rain.
r/camping • Tent recommendations? Looking to buy my last tent first ->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? ->any of the alps mountaineering 4 person tents. they're awesome for the money
r/camping • Best value for money tent? ->I second the Alps Mountaineering, especially the Tarus, built well, easy set up, and you're not going to be taking out a second mortgage to pay for them. We use them in my son's Scout troop monthly and they've held up for years of use (make sure you get the Tarus with aluminum poles, it's a bit more expensive than the one with fiberglass poles but they last)!
r/camping • What's the best tent for my partner and I? ->Have one and it's awesome. Heavy for backpacking but split between members it's not bad.
r/camping • Best value for money tent? ->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? ->I have a similar Kelty Gunnison 4 tent. Bought it 20 years ago so it is on it’ll last legs. Check out Alps Mountaineering. I bought a 2p and 5p and like them as much as my Kelty.
r/CampingGear • Does anyone recognize this tent? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
