As cool as that Tentmock is, no trees in sight at the beach

So you want a nice beach tent.

This assumes you are driving to the beach and packing it from the lot to the dunes.

You want a bad ass fuck palace?

Ticla Teahouse 3.

Easily my best car camp tent! Sorry, all pics on old phn.

You are welcome.

Fucking great looking, but way out of my price range

>>958360
Wow all that mesh is exactly what I'm looking for, the fly isn't what i was hoping for, but the fact all the windows have zip covers is killer.

Bookmarked

Well i didn't say wind proof, I just implied "won't fall apart under high wind" which even a couple walmart tents have done for me in the past. They just always fail in the airflow/doors/functionality department

Cheapish, it is a beach tent so I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars, but I'm willing to shell out one or maybe two hundred. I'm hoping people here will have recommendations beyond what I'll find at big box stores/amazon prime etc.

REI Half Dome 2 Plus is probably the best all around tent I've ever owned.

Also check Alpine Designs and Eureka, better than Walmart-tier brands but not as expensive as Marmot, Big Agnes, etc.

Don't forget to get bigger stakes than the ones that come with your tent.
And more of them
Sand does not hold regular stakes well

That's my favorite youtube channel, those guys are hilarious.

They make special tent stakes for sand, I've seen them online. They look like a corkscrew, and screw themselves into the sand to keep your shit in place.

And I have used them in the sand, but 4 was not enough

They are not cheap and NOT for hiking but Kodiak Canvas flex bow tents are fucking GOAT.

Oh yeah, I use some 14" stakes and buried anchors if necessary
>>959067
fucking sexy tent
>>958888
i'll look into them

The last tent I used/have right now is a coleman hooligan 2, which has the most secure rain fly in a cheapish tent, with great airflow. But is a huge PITA to set up under windy condition. Far more so than any other tent I've brought out so far

They get diarrhea so I dont have to!

>>959758
They are heavy as fuck seeing as they are canvas. But mine held up during storms while out on the PINS.

>>959865
different tex fag here how far into PINS do you go? I was too spooked to camp any deeper than little shell without any firearms. The fishing was great though.

Also, how the fuck do you guys deal with the humidity at night when camping on the beach. It's miserable if you go any time after april.

Third Texas fag reporting in. What on Earth is spooky about Padre? There's nothing out there but beach, scrub, and people fishing.

>>960474
When you're wade fishing with just your fiancee and no cell signal, getting stuck by a string ray or visited by a gray suit becomes a lot more dangerous. Having talked to some other fisherman, spooky things happen at certain mile markers/run ins with illegal immigrant smugglers.

>>960476
Honestly, I go places like that exactly because there's no one else and no cell signal. I just don't see the value in being paranoid.

I spend a lot of time along the Rio Grande (family down there) and have never had an issue with illegals or smugglers. One of the funniest things I've ever seen was along the river below Falcon. A friend and I got out there super early to fish and set up just on the downstream side of a stand of cane. Right about the time the sun came up a crummy little boat full of ten people comes down past us, obviously aiming for the open spot where we had parked. They were freaking out, we just waved and said howdy and watched them all scatter into the brush. Figured it was Border Patrol's problem, not ours.

>>960444
I went all the way down to the 60 mile marker then turned around and found a spot maybe 10 miles from the end so around 50 miles down the beach.

Also I have been stung by a sting ray before it's not fun. That being said a 14 round clip in my pistol at my side, 30 round clip in my AR in the XJ, and 110lb lab/rot mix that stays within 15 feet of me = not being worried about much.
