Default RE: backpacking tent recommendation

A freind of mine has one of those that he ordered out of Cablelas a few year back. I have never stayed in it myself, but we go camping together alot and he he has never had a complaint about it. When we go backpacking though, it' s never made the trip. It' s a bit on the heavy side, but if your talking about a once a year hunt, I wouldn' t spend the money on a good lightweight backpacking tent either.

I can tell you though that with 2 people you might consider bringing 2 tents though. One for sleeping, and one for storage and wet clothes and stuff. It is really hard to dry stuff out all in one tent with 2 people already in it.

Another recomondation that I have for you is that if your only talking about using that tent once a year is that you should consider renting a tent. If you have an REI in your area they rent tents and it' s pretty cheap. That way you can also get a top of the line tent (norhtface, REI) and give it a try to see how you like it
