Default Re: I need a tent

Wow! Thanks everyone for the replies. All of em before I was even up!

MarineHawk, that's one serious setup. I think I can get by with one a little smaller, but I like the fact that it's really weatherproof. When it decides to rain over here, it can really get bad. I like CP's idea too, of having two you can put together. Sounds like there are a billion choices.

We don't have a "Dicks", but I can go to the local Camping gear outlet and look for a tent. REI is downtown and parking the Hummer on the street could be risky. I could order one from Cabella's. I love that place.

They don't make the old tent's with one big tall pole in the middle anymore, do they?

What about sleeping bags? Or those pad thingys that even out the tree roots so you don't get one on the spine all night.

How do I pick a tent? What should I look for?
I guess something like 10'x10' would work. I always have lots of crap everywhere I go, so I'd need some extra room inside.
Rain Flaps?
A little thing on the front for muddy kids to undress in?
Is there any type of material that is better? UGH! I just want a pretty one that matches the woods. K? Do they have those?
