Thread: Tents.

I have 3 tents. One is my gf Walmart tent which totally blows. One like 10 person ginormous tent that's too big and hasn't been used in over a decade (my grandma gave it to me) and my regular 4 person Coleman.

Recently, like last week actually, the tent got a pretty big hole and the fly got shredded when a kid hooked it with his fishing pole and started yanking on it to unhook. So, I figured rather than patch the holes and whatnot it's probably better to just get a newer nicer tent. My backpacking days are more or less over but as you know we still get some hard weather in the late fall so something that is 100% water proof and good with snow/wind is a must.


I've been looking around and have gotten s general idea as to what's out there. Anyone do some camping and have a tent they are interested in or currently have a like a lot? I found an all season tent by Eureka that's super badass but it's more than we need it's also like $350 which is more than I want to spend.

So you've got 3 tents and you're looking for another?

I think I paid $40 for my Coleman 4 man tent. That + air mattress: good to go.

U29 always has to remind people through subtleties that he's better than them.

Which kind is it?
Do you like it?

Does it get water in it or does the fly not quite cover the window? That's what happened to my old one. I was liking one of those with a little mini porch thing to keep shoes and gear. Does yours have that?

This thread is kind of in....tents.

This is way better than our old shelter halves.

I'm through with this thread, which means I'm past tents.

Pretty standard one. Blue and gray. 2 or 3 vents, yup has the lil mini shoe thing. Rain fly has been solid. Works great for 2 people, gear and firearm.

Looks pretty much like this one, but I bought it 8 years ago.

That one looks sick. Any idea what that costs?

Is that Coleman?
I've been reading up on Coleman and I guess the newer Coleman tents don't have the same waterproofing material or coating that the older ones do and it's letting the water permeate through the bottom. I usually put a tarp down underneath just in case but still who wants a moist floor or bag when waking up.
