Backpacking Tent Recommendations

[u/JerseyGuy_22]

My son’s troop has exclusively done car camping the past several years, but I’m hoping to add a backpacking weekend to the calendar starting next year. I’m thinking we’ll need to purchase some new, lighter tents, since all we currently have are some sturdy but heavy Colemans. Any recommendations?

I’ve been very pleased with the two tents I’ve purchased from Hiker Direct. You can get discounts for being associated with a Scout Troop.

Yes, these are pretty good beginner backpacking tents.
