JTaylor91 Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Looking for a backpacking tent to do a bit of “wild” camping. 2 man would be ideal. Don’t want to spend a fortune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 i bought a coleman with a blackout, its not light / backpacking, but its good. if you could handle the extra weight, that is. 3.2kg. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coleman-Technology-lightweight-waterproof-groundsheet/dp/B01M31N9FS/ref=sr_1_10?crid=2DHOJB0NBJ3BV&dchild=1&keywords=coleman+tent+2+person&qid=1600692922&sprefix=coleman+tent%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 So I do a lot of this type of walking camping . And if you going by your self (or with a small /med dog ) .a 2 man tent is ideal .a 1 man tent is possible but they can be very small and cramped and often not much lighter or pack smaller . For 2 people look for a 3 man tent .the vango range of tents are very good and are a British company . Specs and budgets to suit all .I have a few different ones but my current fave is the vango banshee 300 Pro. (I walk with my son and sometimes take my dog ) But take a look at the cairngorm 200 /300 and helium ul2 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two adults and two dogs for up to two weeks, new pitch each night. My mate came once on a trip as I told him it was a three man tent. He refused to get in as said there was no room next to a couple and dogs so slept in a bivvy bag outside. When we woke up next morning to a lovely frost I peered into his bag and he couldn’t speak or move, he was very blue but ok once he thawed out.
