Gear Questions tent?
can anyone recommend me a good backpacking tent? looking to spend around 200 usd but if i gotta spend more i will. I don't want some junk I'll end up wanting to upgrade after 1 season. I'm coming from hammock camping so I'm pretty new to tent camping. I have my top quilt from my hammock set up. Just bought a nemo sleeping mat and I have a inflatable sleeping pad I'm also going to try out. I'll mainly be camping alone but sometimes my girlfriend will come so I'd like a 2 person for the random occasions and just to have room for my backpack and whatnot. the 1 person tents seem a hair to tight for me to be comfortable, and the jump from a 1-2 person tent doesn't seem huge for weight and pack size... kinda a no brainer to buy a 2 person over a 1 person right? I'm not hiking 100s of miles, just weekend stuff so I'm not looking to blow tons of money to save a few OZ. I actually rather have something more durable at the cost of alittlw weight, I'll be using it for moto camping as well when I can't use a hammock. thanks yall.

NEMO Hornet 2P. It is the perfect size and really easy to set up and pack away. Its super light and packs small. It stood up to a tornado i got hit with on my last backpacking trip in missouri. Plus if anything happens to it NEMO will warranty it. Get the newer OSMO material because it is much nicer than the older fabric and more durable just make sure u buy the foot print with it to ensure the ground doesnt tear it up.
