Meta 1P

Not sure why this would get downvoted. I used a Nemo Meta 1 trekking pole tent that stood up to winds in Patagonia that shredded a friends MSR. Winds ripped a guyline attachment off the body of my Nemo tent, but the tent wasn't going anywhere. 6 Moons is designed the same way but with better ventilation. I can't speak to the material of the 6 Moons though as I've only looked at it online.

I’m also almost at the point of being anti-DCF. It’s great with how durable and lightweight it is. Even though it doesn’t retain water, water still gets on it from rain or inside due to condensation. So you still need to put it out so the water can bead off and dry. I switched to a Nemo hornet after mile 700 on my AT thru hike last year and most tents being sil-poly dry pretty damn fast!

It’s just rain right? You’re not gonna melt right? I would suggest next time use a 2P tent with a drop cloth AND a overhead tarp But all that gear, consider at least 3P tent. I like the Nemo stuff

Nemo tents pack pretty small and are light. The new dragonfly seems like a good option. If it’s just you and another person a 2 person might be more than enough space.

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.

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.

Coleman actually makes a decent budget friendly tent that’s perfect for car camping. It’s my recommendation for those that are getting started with camping. For mid range, REI makes great tents. I’m a big fan of their half dome. When I decided to spend money on a good tent, I ran into similar paralysis. I narrowed it down to Big Agnes or Nemo and ended up going with the Nemo due to a thicker floor, since I’d be camping with kids and dogs. I’ve omen very happy with Nemo and have since purchased two more tents.
