CheapEbb2083Not 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.
nativegator02I’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!
bellsblissNemo 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.
boredbearappleDoesn’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.
cetacean-stationNemo 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.
ChessieChesapeakeColeman 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.
Glad_Western7659Thanks sa reco! I just bought Nemo tent, TNF din prefer ko pero mas maganda pala nemo since Lifetime warranty
Legit din sila, Tho wala lang COD
icarusislitTent: 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
