    I’ve been eyeing a couple of inexpensive tents just in case of these type situations where I might be above tree line or in areas where hanging would be difficult. Check out the 3F UL Lanshan 1 and Lanshan 2 tents. Both under $150 and have good reviews (and an almost cult-like following, not unlike hammocks). The Lanshan 2 is basically a silnylon copy of a Duplex but double wall. The 1 is close to an MLD Solomid.

    Walmart and AliExpress have quite a few options in the knockoff lightweight tarp/tent categories. For under $100, I am thinking about trying one.

    The 3F UL tents are readily available on AliExpress. They are sold on Amazon under the Mier Outdoors label. Same tent, less expensive on Ali, faster delivery on Amazon.

    I haven’t checked WM lately.

    Default Going back to ground...

    Walmart is prepping for a rebranding of sorts. They are really going to push the online order, in store pickup business model. Like Amazon they'll offer the same products as AliExpress, under a different brand name and without the wait time of shipping direct from China.
