Hey folks
We're on the lookout for a 3 person (minifamily) bushwalking/basecamp tent.
3 to 4 season, not too heavy.
What have y'all?
Thanks,.

Would this be 3 full sized rugby players or two average sized people plus a toddler? How heavy would be too heavy?
Talked about on the forum quite a bit but I'm still in favour of two smaller tents plus a tarp.
My old FairyDown Plateau is unused and unloved at the moment but it is over 4.5 kilos and really a 4+ white season tent and tight for 3 adults

Hey MD
Thanks for your response- I think the Fairy might be a little overkill.
Thinking two adults and a little one.
2 tents and shelter would work well, I agree. At least someone, somewhere might get some sleep!
But the convenience of 1 pitch seems good...
We're considering Roman Cradle 3 (shock horror) OzTent.
But the vestibule and ventilation look naff.
Where might I find the thread with your thoughts?

We would use our Nallo 3 but it's not it Oz, sadly...

I was just about to suggest the Anjan 3.

https://bushwalk.com/forum/viewtopic.ph ... rp#p438018You missed out when I sold my own expedition tent but any tent with kids would benefit from an extended vestibule, so Nallo3 extended or similar would be my own recommendation

I have a Locus Gear Khafra I'm selling. Fly is dcf so not cheap but it sure is light and roomy

Thanks P, but that would be well out of my budget. I can only wish, jellyfish.

Also have Duomid XL, someone could sleep in the porch section
That would be muuuuuuch cheaper

Thanks Pierre,
But I probably should have clarified that we're after a more traditional Geodesic or similar style poled tent.
2 vestibules would also be lovely.

I have just posted my Hilleberg Nallo 4p for sale if you are still interested in a family 4-season tent
