Far Out 2

Check out the Kelty far out tent. It has a rainfly that you can attach and roll back halfway and secure. If it starts raining in the night you can unhook it and roll it down and secure it easily and quickly. I have car camped in Texas summers in it.

Kelty Far Out - think I have the 3 person. Very easy to setup by yourself. Some color coding too so easy to see that the gold ends go at what will be your feet in the tent (think gold toes). Plus has a flap on each side as well. It will fit yr air mattress and has a footprint. It’s my second Kelty, they’re great tents esp for solo camping.

We have a kelty two person backpacking tent and two single backpacking mats that click together if you want to sleep side by side. we typically use our own sleeping bags but we do have a two person one that can also zip off into two individuals. She carries the tent and I carry all the food/water and cooking supplies to even up the weight.

I use a kelty 3 man for car camping- it’s light and plenty of room for gear and myself and enough room for the get times my wife came camping. and I like it enough that I got the 2p backpack version. It also probably way und your budget number

I have been an REI truther for years, and have owned their Half Dome tent as well as a Kelty 2 person tent. I know how valuable it can be to have nice gear, but recently I’ve been thinking: is there any reason not to spend $50 on a tent from amazon, and if it breaks just buy another one? I could do this six times before spending as much as I would on a tent from a major retailer. As long as i check the weather, as I bet amazon rain flies aren’t trustworthy, is there any downside to choosing a cheap ass tent over an expensive one? Edit: seeing comments about waste. I admit I was thinking only about money, and you’re right I don’t want to be dumping Amazon tents and right
