Stormbreak 3 Tent

If just for car camping, then the suggested Coleman options, or Naturehike are all quite solid and cheap. If you want to backpack more, then grab North Face Stormbreak 3. Basically any dome tent with 2 crossing poles is easy to setup alone in like 5-10 minutes, with most of the energy spent on staking it out and tightening the guylines to make the fly taught.

Yes this is a great option. I have known people who have used that one and liked it! Imo it’s better to get a solid tent than a cheap tent that you absolutely requires you to have a good tarp setup every time you set up your tent. Depending on the contract, you might be somewhere for 2 days and then move. Don’t wanna NEED tarps in that case. Some places you can’t stake the tarp into the ground because there’s no soil just rocks. The storm breaker is good bc it’s not too high and has a full fly!! Unlike a lot of Canadian tire tents. TLDR I think you’ll do well with the storm breaker. And get a decent mattress if you can. :) good luck on your first season!! (And take advice from current planters who’ve been buying gear recently. Not ppl who haven’t planted and bought gear since the 90s lol. Ask your crew & crewboss as well)

We use the North Face Stormbreak 3. Perfect for me, my wife, and our two dogs.

I have the SB3 and I love it. The only knock is the size/weight, but if you’re keeping the rest of your kit light, storing your poles separate and using a compression stuff sack I think you’ve got a versatile, durable, easy to pitch tent.

We use the stormbreak 3. Does pretty good.

The Stormbreak 2 is great. I had the 3 and it stood up to so much rain and wind. The only downsides are the weight and the fly zippers.

Check The North Face Stormbreak 2p or 3p. I have been using the 2p Stormbreak for several years in all weather and i really like it. It's super reliable under heavy rain, it has 2 big vestibules for your boots and other stuff and is easy enough to setup.

Seconded - though I always seem to have trouble with the rain fly. I just need to practice setting it up more
