When it's just me and the dog, I have the smaller 2 person Ozark Trail tent. It was 25 bucks and worth every penny. I've had it for 5 years now My wife demanded a tent she can stand up in so we have the Core tent from Costco when she comes along, seems pretty okay in quality. Just annoying to wrestle it back into the bag

I got this tent at the end of 2024 for $17 on clearance. I dont think itd fit the dog with them, but definitely two people.

I grabbed the ozark trails 2 person backpacking tent last fall for $17 on sale. I use that when I go on solo trips and my two kids use it when we all go out.

I have a different ozark trails tent that I love. Ive been eyeing that A frame myself. I saw someone at a spot next to me that had it and asked them about it and they said they recommend it.

I love my little ozark 2 person backpacking tent. Fits my wife and I comfortably. Super easy to set up - didn’t even come with directions and we figured it out on the fly!

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 (:

Naturehike mongar, featherstone granite or backbone, or honestly even the $80 ozark trail backpacking tent are all perfectly fine and much cheaper. Same thing with sleeping pad you can go much cheaper. Paria, REI helix, or even the bestway Alpinlite from Amazon. I also love my tobtos UL80. Not warm at all but DIRT cheap and super comfy Sleeping bag is fine. You could find a lighter one but that one is very comfy.
