I’m looking to purchase the Mineral King Tent 3 and hoping to find it for under $375, which I’ve seen mentioned as possible. Here’s the current listing I’m looking at on REI: Mineral King 3 Tent with Footprint. I’m open to the Mineral King 2 as a backup, but I prefer the larger size. I’ve checked common retailers like REI, Campsaver, and Backcountry, but no luck on a better deal yet. Any suggestions for where else I might look?
You might find the MK 2 for a good price at Sportsman’s Warehouse. Here’s a link: Sportsman’s Warehouse - MK 2. Also, consider the MH Meridian 3; it’s similar but doesn’t have some features like the overhead crossbar or door vents.

Thanks for the tip! I’m leaning towards the MK 3 for the extra space. Do you think the MK 2 could suffice for two people?

For two people, the MK 3 offers more comfort with plenty of space for gear. If it’s mostly for solo use, the MK 2 would be adequate and is more budget-friendly.

Considering the price difference, I might start with the MK 2. Thanks for your help!

Definitely a good choice. The vestibules on the MK 2 offer additional storage space as well.
I snagged the tent for $125 from Mountain Hardware during their June sale. Check their site for sales, and if you’re a member of ExpertVoice, you might find even better deals there.

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll keep an eye on Mountain Hardware’s sales and check out ExpertVoice too.
