r3dot Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I'm in the market for a new tent. Probably go with a big Agnes fly creek. Shits expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tahmail Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Headed out for a few last days of motorcycle camping this week here in Colorado. It requires a minimalistic approach but a tent, bedroll, pad and change of clothes gets it done. I don't bother cooking - eat pre cooked or canned stuff out of grocery stores and an occasional restaurant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought about trying the hammock and have some friends that use them but don't think the banana shape is for me. Toss and turn a lot at night and want a shelter for my gear since I don't want it left out at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a side sleeper. Not to kid myself, I don't sleep well while camping, in general. Most noises wake me up constantly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got a short cut now and gets groomed often. In that pic, he decided he was going to walk into the water where I was trying to fish. Fishing ended then, I let him play for a bit. Then he ran back into the tent and plopped inside. Got stuff soggy and dirty. Just can't get mad at him though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The REI Kingdome 6 will be my next tent since I car camp. My current Sierra Designs Bedouin 4 has been a fine tent, but I would like something a little larger. Would love to be able to do the backpacking thing but my knees aren't what they used to be. Edited September 7, 2017 by OV1kenobi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have the half dome 2+, but my wife doesn't care for the whole 'no water, no electricity, rustic idea'...and my dog doesn't get a vote. He just goes with me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RustyL Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 A picture of the one I bought. I've had it about two months and have had it out 5 times. Pretty neat little camper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r3dot Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Any tent recommendations under $200? Been checking eBay for a deal but no luck yet. Big Agnes, nemo, etc. May just go with an REI dome 2p but they're a bit heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REI stores are really good at helping you see the tents and even a return if its not what you`r looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
