My Oztrail Hiker 2 (an A-frame style tent) with a heavy-duty tarpaulin over the top, with anchored extension fly-cords through every eyelet, withstood a 100 km/h storm last year..
The Oztrail Hiker2 tent I lived in for 15 months while lapping Australia on a motorcycle is laughing at you from Tent Valhalla where it was brought by the Valkyries of Bushwalking after I binned it from the fly finally deteriorating from UV. Eh, the H2 is surprisingly well-designed for its price-point, and is the only tent I'd take through the Top End during Wet Season because of its exceptional ventilation.
Honestly I don’t think you’ll have much trouble. I bought a 6 person Ozark tent for me my son and partner when we went to Utah last year and hadn’t gone since I was 11 or 12 and set it up on my own because they’re so different now lol!!!! Didn’t have to slide poles through fight anything etc. mine just clicked to the poles. So as long as you feel comfortable with the price and brand 2 person Ozark should be ok! Esp to start off. We had good blankets weren’t cold at all had 0 tent issues (:
Lol I meant because some people call them cheap!!! I think they’re decent either way. :D
