I have a Eureka Titan. It is 9.5x13.5. It is great for car camping with a group. About 30 lbs. I also have a Sierra Designs Comet 2 man, but it is getting old. It was also just big enough for my son and I to sleep in.
I am wanting something smaller than Titan for my 9yr old and myself. He is a scout, but I don't plan on long hiking/camping at this time, so weight is not a big issue. There is one place we go where we have to carry gear about 1/2 mile. We use a wagon, so weight reduction would help.
I thought I wanted to be able to stand up, but have decided that this is not too important.
I just purchased, but have not used a Nemo Asashi. 4 man.. and was thinking of getting the garage for a place to hang out, rather than the tent/sleeping qtrs. I can still return this tent. Tent/rainfly and garage $350 with footprints for both. (tent/rain 199) Tent was almost $500 retail before being discontinued.. a little heavy for a backpacker.. light for car camping about 10 lbs tent and rainfly ........ 63sq ft and 50" tall
Then I saw a Big Agnes Big House 4 or 6 on clearance. No garage available for 2012 model.. so I would get 6 man for space.. no vestibule included though
I don't know why I am having a hard time choosing a second tent.. too many choices...lol
Under $ 400 with tent/fly footprint .. any suggestions or advice?
Thanks,
Rick
