Need a new tent
So Im in the market for a new tent or hammock anyone have any recommendations for one that is small enough to fit in a touring saddlebag. Looking for probably a 2 person setup, Never camped with a hammock so im not sure how they hold up with the rain.
-thanks |
If you can find a 'Sports Authority' near you, I heard they are beginning their biggest closeout/sale ever; prior to going out of business.

I have this one. Mountainsmith Genesee 4.
Amazon.com : Mountainsmith Genesee 4 Person 3 Season Tent (Lotus Blue) : Family Tents : Sports & Outdoors
Works great. Fits in the saddlebag with PLENTY of room to spare. Sets up easy and fast. Says it's a 4 person tent but it's perfect for 2. |
I use a REI 1/2 Dome Plus 2 and they are on sale until the 30th

REI Half Dome and the tiny bit smaller brother tent 1/4 dome have been in the top 5 backpacking tents since they came out many yrs ago yr after yr.
hammocks suck. You need two trees close yet far enough apart and minimal back support. |
Marmot makes nice products, if you purchase thru REI they have a year return no question.
Catalyst 2P. I have only set this up in our yard but I like it. Need to purchase 4 more stakes to completely anchor. I have used cheep tents long time so looking forward to this one. Much lighter easy in n out, like the vestibule. Russ https://marmot.com/products/details/catalyst-2p |
I have a Eureka Timberline 4. They also make a 2 man version. I found the 4 person version just about right for 2 people and gear. It sets up quickly. It fits great in the tour pak for sure. I've never tried to put it in the saddlebag.

Another vote for the REI 1/2 dome. Mine has been in heavy prolonged rain numerous times and has never let me down . Water hasn't leaked from the top or seeped in from the bottom . Stays in place in the South Dakota gusts and hail :)
