If we get picked, the tent will be for an early rifle season in a Colorado wilderness. Season starts Sept. 9th. This will be a backpack hunt, no horses.

Thanks for the info, I am now looking into some different tents. I have since pretty much decided that a 2 person tent just won' t be big enough, so I am looking more at 3-4 person tents.

Lilhunter: tell me more about the flash clip 3. Are you talking about the Sierra Designs Clip 3 CD. The head end is taller than the foot section and weighs 5 lb 9 oz. It comes with a 7 sq ft vestible. I am also looking at the Sierra Designs Metor Light CD. Only a 2 person, but has 40 sq ft in the tent and a 16 sq ft vestible. I am also looking at the Cabelas XPG 4 person tent. Still less than 9 lbs and packs to 9" x20" . Have heard good things about this tent and withstanding rain.
