Having spent a nite out among the bugs one time this summer (i grabbed my rainfly when i thought i was grabbing my tent), i think it's really a seasonal/geography thing if you can deal with an open tent. i cannot :) i had about 30 bug bites that nite and one of the worst nites sleep ever. But maybe you live somewhere that this is not a problem.
For the tent advice, i have a big agnes one from a few years ago. If you peruse the rei-outlet store you can find a few deals every now and then, mine's a two person and i paid about $120 for it, totally fine for the once a month that i use it. one thing i'd point out, a lot of the superlight tents are free-standing (though not all are), but these superlights usually require that you stake them out to fit two people, and in those cases it's still tight. so if you plan on getting a two person tent, to be used by two people test it out first. mines two person, but its usually just me, and a second person would be cozy for sure. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
