Tent of the month- The Alpine Peak 2! (By Swiss Army)

     Hello fellow campers and hikers! Today I am going to review a 2 person tent called the Alpine Peak 2!

The Alpine Peak 2
             

     Name: Alpine Peak 2
     Cost: $50-$70
     Max Capacity: 2 People
     Weight: ~6 lb.
     Time to set-up: ~2 min.

     This is a great tent. It is cheap, durable, only takes 2 minutes to set-up, and is great if you have a party of 2. The downside is the weight of the tent.

For Camping Purposes

     This is an amazing tent for standard camping. It is convenient to grab on the go, can survive being wet in the garage/closet/etc. for at least a month (It will be moldy but it can be removed, have learned that from past experiences.), and (again) durable. But this only holds 2 people tops, heavy, and the rain fly is honestly irritating to put on. I would still definitely recommend this tent, even with the downsides, to use if you and one other person were going camping.

Rating (Out of 10): 8.5/10

For Backpacking Purposes

     This tent is, without doubt, not meant for backpacking. It is way to heavy to backpack with, especially in the mountains. It also takes up a lot of pack space. Those are mainly the only two reasons this is not meant for backpacking, but usually if there is one reason to not take it and it will affect you, then you shouldn't bring it. Other than that if weight and space wasn't a problem, then this tent would've been perfect for backpacking.

Rating (Out of ten): 2/10

Overall, this tent is perfect for camping, not backpacking, and I guarantee you will enjoy using it for camp-outs! Thanks for reading, and until next time, camp/hike on!
