Bushmen Lodger Core Tent - 2-Person Tarp-Compatible Mesh Tent (Olive)

The Bushmen Lodger Core Tent is a 2-person tunnel mesh inner tent designed to be paired with a tarp. On fine nights it gives open views with full insect protection, and under a tarp it becomes an ultralight tent in moments.

Lodger is billed by Bushmen as the first fully tarp-compatible 2-person tunnel mesh tent, with a long, waterproof interior that leaves room for even tall occupants. Cover it with a Bushmen Ultralight Tarp 2x3 and the whole set-up, including the aluminium frame, weighs under 1.5kg with space for two people and luggage. Pair it with a Thermo Tarp 3x3 instead and you gain around 2m² of vestibule for extra protection from wind and cold, while keeping the total under 2kg.

Why you'll love it

• Bug-free sleeping – full mesh keeps insects out while you enjoy the view
• Tarp-ready – throw a tarp over it to create an ultralight tent
• Room to stretch – long interior suits tall campers
• Flexible system – choose a light 2x3 tarp or a Thermo Tarp for a vestibule

Good to know

Who it's for
