i have a tent similar to the first camo tent,
have been using it for +20 yrs
its small, light, and has worked great for +20 yrs
\think my first experience with it,
was a teenager on 7 day camping trip,
friends had huge tents, mine next to it looked like the dog house,
but i was comfy and it worked great,
have used it numerous times since, too many to count, and still like it,


really depends on your needs/usage,
long hikes, size/weight will be an issue,


i also have a tent similar to second, typical dome tent,
I only used it once, where i hiked 1 mile to the site,
so limited experience with it,
didnt care for setting up with long external frame poles, found it quite annoying,

i am not camping on mt everest, so really dont need +$300 tents and such,
$40-$100 tents work for me
