Tomorrow's plan that I will probably regret: I am going to buy a tent.
I haven't owned a tent in nearly 20 years, so does anyone have suggestions of what to look for and what to avoid? Has technology moved on?
Definitely aiming for the cheap end of the spectrum. It's honestly not going to get used that much, highly unlikely I'll need to hike with it, just big enough to contain me plus stuff.

@ian@mastodon.radio if you’re planning on sleeping, I have to highly recommend the decathlon “fresh and black” line - they’re lined to block out the sun and keep you cooler. If you’re not hiking particularly far, then they are a good fit! I have a couple of sizes from “one man” to “family” that have served me well at festivals and events!
