Hubba Hubba 3

You can find great deals on tents in the REI resupply. People are always buying and then returning, and if you are lucky you can find one with minor damage that you can fix. I found a MSR hubba 3 for $109 with a tiny hole in the mesh. Retail was $679.

I use a hubba hubba 3 in the backcountry. Tarp below and a blanket between the inside of the tent and my sleeping pad.

Lightweight tents are ultralight because of the materials. You’re not really going to find one that doesn’t feel a bit delicate. That said, I’ve used my Hubba Hubba 3 on a completely rock beach, gravel, grass, rocky rooty tent sites, and tent pads in wind and rain, with a dog and with kids, and it’s been fine. I do use the groundsheet though.

BA Copper spur 3, Nemo Dagger 3, MSR Hubba 3 or REI Half Dome is what I use

I use a MSR Mo Room for kayak camping. It’s not made anymore but their Hubba Hubba is very similar. Stay away from fiberglass poles because they are absolutely no good for beach camping (or any camping). My MSR has seen 30mph without guy lines and won’t blow over. The rain fly on most of their stuff should have enough room to keep some gear safely outside.

I have the msr mutha hubba 3P (now the hubba bubba 3) and my friends have the 2P and we’ve used them everywhere, on the beach, in the snow, sand, rocks and so on. It has been great in the BC rains. The 3P one is 4.5lbs but it is so nice bc at 6” I can sit up in it. Great for changing and such.

I got mine in 2021 and it’s been great. It’s so roomy

I like the msr Hubba range I have the 1 2 3 person version great tent
