It won't be long before I start camping and backpacking again and I am in the market for a new tent.
I noticed when camping at Edisto Beach this year that my tent has seen it's better days. I could see pinholes of light through the tent fabric. Thank God it didn't rain on me!
So anyways, I would like to find a new tent based on some real-world opinions. I am looking for a 3 season 2-3 person tent that has at least one vestibule for gear, says dry (very important), and has good cross ventilation.
I would also like to get something fairly light, say up to 8 lbs. packed. My wife and I may do some section hiking on the Appalachian Trail this spring/summer. I would also like to find something for no more $150-175. It must be sturdy because I do camp a lot.
I would also like to get some suggestions on web sites/forums that has good camping gear reviews.
