Norm Posted June 14, 2010 Share #7 Posted June 14, 2010 My wife and I also shopped Walmart. We started with an 8X7.5. We had room for our double mattress but that was it. We moved up to a Northwest Territory Nordic Dome which is 10x8. It has room for our double air mattress and room to stand up and dress. It is light weight and cost was I think$49.00. We have slept in it in a rain storm and had no water inside. Norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDunc Posted June 14, 2010 Share #9 Posted June 14, 2010 Consider a Camping hammock. I have been off the ground for years and have no back trouble from sleeping on the ground. Packs small and light. I am not talking about one of those string type. I am talking about a true camping hammock with rain fly. I make my own for less than $40.00. If you want to see a few of the more expensive versions, visit the links below. At least it will give you a few ideas. http://hennessyhammock.com/ http://www.speerhammocks.com/ made in North Carolina http://www.eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com/ Eno - I always have one of these in my saddlebag. I can stop just about anywhere on the parkway and find a couple of trees, have a snack, take a nap and then move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter 1500 Posted June 14, 2010 Share #10 Posted June 14, 2010 I just spent 4 days in this tent in off and on rain all 4 days and never got wet at all. Very compact and goes up real easy. http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20075-cat20103&id=0031756514266a&navCount=2&podId=0031756&parentId=cat20103&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=QL&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat20103&hasJS=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiteSquid Posted June 14, 2010 Share #11 Posted June 14, 2010 i am looking for a fairly inexpensive (waterproof) tent which is lightweight and small in the packed dimension.... need your suggestions ! Take the easily packable one of these as you will probably not find anything that packs smaller: http://www.ecdlcentar.com/forum/files/visacard_312.jpg To an inexpensive (waterproof) place like this: http://images.channels.nl/images/hotel/org/174/1744228.jpg and that is what I would call camping Seriously, that is what I call camping.

eagleeye Posted June 14, 2010 Share #12 Posted June 14, 2010 Colemann Holligan 3 This is the best tent that I have used to date. Big enough for all of your stuff, pluss sleeping space, and a BIG/FULL rainfly. The vestibule is very handy for boots, etc. Steve http://www.coleman.com/coleman/ColemanCom/detail.asp?CategoryID=11070&product_id=2000001590 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted June 14, 2010 Share #13 Posted June 14, 2010 I have a Eureka 4-person Timberline tent that I have used for over 30 years now. It's easy to set up, is lightweight, packs small, and has always kept me dry. Just another option to consider... TERRY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted June 14, 2010 Share #14 Posted June 14, 2010 I've been camping on and off for 57 years in a lot of different tents, the cheap ones work pretty good if ya don't mind getting wet once in a while, but after seeing Eagleeye's Coleman Holligan 3, I had to have one. I love it, there's no chance of rain getting in. I bought it on-line from a place in MI. Prices ran from $157 to $69. Now if you want one or more of them under $30 tents you can have one of my old ones. Oh ya I always spray mine with waterproofing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
