"I shared a Durston X-Mid 2 with my partner for a big chunk of the PCT and it was the perfect two-person tent for us."
"X-Mid 2 footprint is 7.67 feet/2.34m long and 52"/132cm wide. It can fit two wide large 25" x 77" rectangular pads."
"A 6 man is perfect for a couple."

"uppababy has amazing customer service ... if you buy the travel bag and use it while flying, they will overnight you a new stroller if it breaks."
"Then one of them started to produce a high pitched noise every now and then, called them and they sent me, get a load of this, a brand new one, sealed, worth 700 euros. Not a single question asked, just straight RMA"
"For me the thermarest warranty has been worth its weight in gold ... every interaction I’ve had with them has been amazing, no questions asked replacement or repair"

"Though not designed for it a modified Akto was used succesfully on a solo expedition to the North Pole, not bad for a backpacking tent."
"For alpine, windy or snowy conditions, nothing beats a Hilleberg."
"A decent-sized gale came in off the Atlantic. I don’t know what else would’ve stood up to it."

"My 4p is decidedly higher quality than the Nemo Dragonfly 2p I use for bicycle trekking with my son."
Slingfin Portal 2. I’ve been using it for the past two years and it’s lightweight, roomy, freestanding and bombproof in bad weather. I made a ridiculous spreadsheet comparing almost 20 tents and it was the winner. I rented a Nemo Dragonfly 2P last week. It was fine but a little smaller on the inside. Good luck with your search, there’s so many options
r/backpacking • What's the best 2 person backpacking tent that won't make me hate my partner? ->If it’s legit dude that’s insane. Nemo will be awesome for lighter packing, I’m not sure where you are but where I am (British Columbia, Canada) it’s like the gold standard, that or durston.
r/CampingandHiking • NEMO Dragonfly 2p tent for 374$ is good? Or are there other options? ->Used my nemo 45 nights this past summer, still looks new.
r/CampingandHiking • How much should you pay for a high quality one-person tent? ->Doesn’t help when you’re on top of the mountain in the pouring rain :) Edit this sounds a bit harsh. NEMO makes good tents I’ve owned a couple. These days I just prefer something a bit heavier.
r/CampingGear • Gearlabs top 19 tents are all 200$+. One is even over a thousand. Are those of ua getting the 70$ amazon special really buying junk?! ->I’ve been using a 2p NEMO dragonfly for several years. Retails around $475 but I think I picked it up for $400 back in the day. It gives me peace of mind in storms or bad weather knowing the tent has good construction. I also have peace of mind knowing I can email the company for a replacement if I lose or break a part—I had to order a new ridgepole once. With how many times I have used this tent, the cost per wear probably comes to less than $10/night in costs. It has a trail weight less than 3 lbs.
r/CampingandHiking • How much should you pay for a high quality one-person tent? ->Nemo makes great tents. i have two, one has been with me since 2012 and still works great. i got another one last year with more room cuz i have more dogs. i like that they sell internal floors to keep dogs from making holes with their paws. i also love how easy they are to set up, and how durable the materials seem to be.
r/BuyItForLife • Is there such thing as a “good” tent? ->I have a Nemo Hornet 2P, and I love it, though I have only used it solo. It would work for two people but would be a tight fit. The Nemo Dragonfly is a similar design but with a little more space. I think it’s a little more expensive than what you’ve mentioned though.
r/CampingandHiking • Novice looking for advice about tents. ->There are a few shelters that use trekking poles as supports. I have a Nemo that’s about the size as a Nalgene bottle.
r/CampingGear • Backpacker looking for one man tent that packs down to smallest size but not a bivvy ->Tent: MSR or Nemo, sleeping bag: Nemo (the lightest warmest I’ve found) knife folding knife I’d use a Swiss army “Ranger” model, if its a folding knife sans that I’d use a fixed blade like a Pathfinder knife shop “scorpion or Kephart” the kephart is my favorite personally. It’s always good to have multiple tools for sure sometimes they fail. Additionally if you’re going to be in any remote areas take 2 ways to make fire whether that’s 2 lighters or a lighter and a ferocerium rod doesn’t matter. Ans water water water, and some way to filter said water. I’ve had situations even near or in towns where I needed water and had some but couldn’t purify it and a metal container of you can canteen or stainless non vacuum single wall water bottle if you have that and fire you’ll have purified water. Enjoy your walk sounds like fun to me
r/CampingGear • Advice for sleeping bag, tent and knife ->Big Agnes Marmot, Nemo, Naturehike, Durston over Coleman or Kelly every time.
r/CampingGear • Kelty, Coleman or Big Agnes Tent? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
