Bushmen Lodger Core Tent — Ultralight, Tarp-Ready Mesh Shelter

The Bushmen Lodger Core Tent is a versatile, ultralight shelter designed for solo campers, bikepackers, and festival-goers who value packing light without sacrificing bug protection or weather readiness. When paired with a tarp, it becomes a compact, waterproof shelter suitable for a range of conditions.

• Capacity: 1–2 person shelter, ideal for solo adventures or a compact two-person setup.
• Materials & Mesh: Ultrafine bug mesh for reliable insect protection; fabric weight around 140gsm for durability and comfort.
• Weight & Pack Size: Total pack weight under 1.5kg (including frames); packed dimensions 38 × 14 × 14 cm for easy carry in a rucksack.
• Frames: Folding aluminium frames enable quick, confident setup on varied terrain.
• Tarp Compatibility: Fully tarp-compatible tunnel mesh tent; waterproof protection comes from using the Bushmen Ultralight 2m × 3m Tarp (waterproof rating is tarp dependent).
• Colours: Available in Coyote Brown and Olive for versatile outdoor styling.
• Contents: Includes Lodger Core Tent, 2 folding aluminium frames, 4 ground pegs, and a transport bag.

With its tarp-ready design, the Lodger Core Tent offers flexible weather protection: use the mesh shelter alone for bug-free ventilation on warm days, or add a tarp for a sealed, stormproof retreat when rain threatens. The lightweight build keeps your pack lean for ultralight backpacking or bikepacking, while the compact packed size makes storage in compact packs effortless. This makes the Lodger Core Tent an excellent choice for solo hikers, weekend cyclists, and festival campers who want dependable shelter without excess weight.
