Comment on Tesla starts shipping $3,000 Cybertruck tent, looks nothing like what was unveiled | Electrek
KevonLooney@lemm.ee 8 months agoYou can get a good tent for $50, or a tarp and some rope for $30. You can get all your camping stuff for $1000. Less is more with camping.

That walmart tent you buy for 50 aint a good tent, and will either leak like a sieve in the rain, or be so unbreathable as to become an unlivable humidity drenched hotbox from your perspiration and sweat.

You can certainly get a decent one for <$300 though. Which is an order of magnitude less than $3000.

These will last 20 years. They haven’t even changed the design.
Also, why are you camping in crazy ass weather? Like I said, a tarp is even cheaper and better when it’s hot.

Weather is a thing that happens when you’re outdoors.

Camping is not living outdoors permanently. You can choose the dates that you are outside and the place you go, so you can choose the weather too.

I have the 2 person version of that tent. It’s me through down pours and wind. The only thing more expensive tents have is easy of set up and tear down.

I know. This other dude doesn’t. Expensive camping gear is just lighter by a few oz. Just carry less.
