My son and I did a little camping over the weekend. I'm very happy with all the equipment but to add 1 or more people to the tent we used, it's too small.
The tent I'm currently using is a Eureka Timberline 4. It's very light (under 8 pounds) and setup is 1 person and about 10 minutes. It's listed as being a 4 person tent but that would be shoulder-to-shoulder with little room for packs and equipment. Two of us in there with cots and packs/equipment was perfect.
I'm looking for a tent about twice that size (so I'm looking for one in the 120-150 sq/ft range). Something for 3 seasons. Room dividers are OK but probably need them removable for setting up cots. Weight isn't as much a consideration since it won't be a backpacking tent. Quick setup is key. One person setup would be nice but doubtful in a tent that size.
Anyone have any tents they would recommend? Any that you don't like?
