New Tent

Ordered this today for our backpacking trip. It's about 4 pounds lighter than the one we took canoeing. At $100 it's a bargain and has a the ground cloth incorporated.



Next up is a lighter backpack.

That's a fine looking tent Sir.

There was a time when I was spending at least one night a week in the mountains; a tent in the summer, snow hole in the winter, so I've come to understand what makes a good tent.

Yours looks to be a semi geodesic design and well thought out. The most important factor for me (apart from being water tight) was how stable it was in a big wind. The winds here in the mountains of Blighty can be especially nasty so a stable tent was a great comfort. Yours looks like it would cut the mustard. Good value too! Here's to some great adventures!

We'll see how it holds up. 8) It's only four pounds total, including the stakes and ground cloth, so that's a plus. Can't get much lighter unless you go with a hammock and a tarp.
