Camper here. Me and my Lady go out all the time. Dude ... honestly ... you can go just about anywhere and buy a tent under 200 bucks ... and better than just decent. We bought our last one at Wal-Mart for christ sake.

Thats what I was probably going to do, but I didn't want to look like a total douche in front of my girls friends and bring something that was just going to fall apart.

Walmart it is!

Glad I could help. They have some very nice Sleeping Bags at Wal-Mart as well ( and, if I might add, many different varieties of camping supplies to chose from, too ). And in order to NOT " look like a total douche in from my girls friends " make sure you know what the hell your doing out there, my friend ... camping is a manly thing ... you've got to assert your dominance over those women.   ;)

Dude checkout ebay.  You can find some decent new and used tents for under $200.  That or REI outlet.  Kelty is a very good quality brand at an affordable price.  So is Alps Mountaineering from REI.  Other than that don't waste your money on a tent from Walmart or anything that's not brand name.  There is a lot of junk out there.  Stick with Sierra Designs, Kelty, REI, Eureka, etc.

Costco has some nice tents under $60 , unless you're going to set up base camp at Mr.Everest I really don't think you need ther insanely overpriced high end gear, esp. for a backyard campout ffs.

Oh brother you know nothing about quality camping gear if you think WalMart has very nice sleeping bags! LMAO!  No offense bro but you are clueless.  Im not saying you have to go out and buy a Western Mountaineering subkilo $500 bag.  But Walmart?  They probably carry cheap cotton or qualofil bags.  Like I said earlier You can find very nice used camping gear on ebay.  Even on craigslist.  The brand I mentioned Kelty is probably middle of the road as far as quality.  Definitely much better than Walmart/Coleman brand of camping gear but yet not as high end as say Sierra Designs/NorthFace/Mountain Hardware.  To the OPer.......if you just want some cheap ass tent for a one time use for a party type campout then yes go to Walmart.  But if you want something that is half way decent go elsewhere. 
Title: Re: Anyone a camper?
Post by: calfzilla on March 22, 2009, 01:06:48 AM
I agree with mcmannus.  Don't go to Wal-Mart.  Just go to a local camping/outdoor store like Sportsman's Warehouse, or something like that.  There are tons of options.  I know a lot about this kinda stuff so you can PM me if you have any questions.  Just a tip: If a tent is a 4 person tent that means it is actually a two person tent.  Always divide the number of people the tent says it is for in half.

 A nice tent for $60 might do fine in the backyard.  But in any kind of downpour or inclement weather scenario I would never trust a $60 tent.  It's funny to hear all you bodybuilders dishing out camping gear advice.  When was the last time any of you even went "camping"?  I'm an avid backpacker and camper.  Been doing it for a few decades.  Not to sound arrogant or conceited but judging by some of your replies I'd say I know a lot more about the subject than most on here.  Of course if your idea of camping is going down to the local KOA campground setting up a cheap walmart tent, unloading the cooler, pulling out your lawn chairs and sipping on some brewskis.....well then by all means.......go to Walmart for your camping gear and have a blast.  But anyone that spends any amount of time in the wilderness, not hokie campgrounds, would never trust their well being to gear at "walmart" or "sears".  LMAO!

So what about an ultralight one person tent :)  Actually a sportman's warehouse is a good idea.  They carry mid level camping equipment, not as high end as an REI but probably just what the OPer is looking for.

Nice post.  I'm also an avid wilderness camper like yourself.  I think Stark is too.  Anyway it sounds like he is just doing some backyard camping so a cheap tent and sleeping bag will do fine.  But if he gets into the kind of stuff we are into he will need to do a lot more research and be willing to spend a few more bucks.  

REI is a good place too.  I've been thinking about getting one of those ultralight tents but man they are small!  I think I would get clostraphobic if I was in there, that is if I could fit.

Yeah I've been wanting to splurge and get a new tent too.  I'm looking at the Big Agnes line of tents.  The Pine Island struck my fancy as I have a few light backpacking tents but need something bigger for car camping.  It's nice and big and could weather hurricane :)

Bro that's all great and shit, but the guy said he's camping out in his friend's BACKYARD for one night. He's not going to conquer Mr.Everest, he doesn't need a 2000$ tent that's reinforced with carbon fibre and made from the latest space age materials and weighs 3lbs., I go camping usually twice per season (summer) I always secure a large plastic waterproof tarp over the tent anyways, just for added protection. You're taking this shit wayyyy too seriously.

Yeah those are awesome.  I'd love to spend a monty in Alaska just exploring around and using one of those as a base camp.  Cabela's has a good selection......http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pod/standard-pod-wrapped.jsp?id=0013882&navCount=1&parentId=cat550002&masterpathid=&navAction=push&cmCat=MainCatcat20075-cat550002&parentType=index&indexId=cat550002&rid=

Dear, Mr. McAnus, we camp anywhere's from 7-10 times a year. We bought a Tent at Wal-Mart quite a few years back that is STILL in GREAT condition. And, yes, I bought a sleeping bag ( again ) quite a few years ago from Wal-Mart that is .... wait for it ... wait for it ... STILL in great condition. You, sir ... are showing your true intelligence. I'm not clueless ... just conservative with my money.


Btw, I drive a Ford Taurus ... let me guess ... you drive a Mercedes ? My dick's ___ inches ... let me guess ... yours is double whatever number I place in the blank ? You see my point here, McAnus ? Like these guys have been saying ... he's not trying to conquer Mount fucking Everest ... but even if he wants to go camping out in the wilderness ( which I, personally, don't ... we do the whole " campground " thing ... yes, boring  ::) ... but fun because the kids love it ) he can with Wal-Mart gear.

No I don't drive a Mercedez.  I drive a Toyota :)  More power to you bro!  But you still have no clue about wilderness gear.  Again I'm not trying to sound conceited or hoity toity.  Wal-Mart works for you and what you do with your family.  But if I took you backpacking throught the Sierras you're shit would fall apart.  That's all Im saying.  You're a weekend warrior not a serious wilderness adventurer who relies on his equipment to get him through bad weather, weeks on the trail, etc.  Like I said a Walmart tent is fine for the OPer.

I'm more of a wilderness camper, but I don't look down upon people who camp at campgrounds.  That is still better than not camping at all.  I will on occasion visit a campground. 

Ditto. I go backpacking and camping with a select few friends but in order to get my family involved I've got to pull a few KOA trips a year.  I figure a few years of that and my little one will be ready to hit the wilderness.  Then the wife has no choice but to hike and camp or don't come...
