Big Agnes Big House 4 Tent - 4-Person 3-Season - 2007 BCS

This tent is huge. Hmmm 4 people I think not, 4 is way roomy and need be stash 5. The tesnt is way tall too, I am 5'8" but tent prolly stood 6-12" higher than my head. We got te vestibule with it and this tent is gigantic. The material feels nice and heavy, but the tent is light. Poles are really nice too. The bag is amazining. No more rolling your tent up, stash it nice and easy in the awesome tent messenger like bag. Worth every penny.

I have used this tent twice, just last weekend on a overnight trip in the Adirondacks. It is very simple to pitch, and construction is very high quality. The weight can be off-set by sharing the load. A drawback is no fly vestibule, but you have so much extra room for gear inside the tent. You cannot, however, cook inside with foul weather. Another minor draw back is the carrying case, which is useless for backpacking. I have solved this by purchasing suitably sized stuff sacks for strapping to the outside of your pack. The tent is unbelievable for two, and plenty roomy for 3. It would be tight for 4, but that seems to be the same with any 4-person rated tent. The 5' 8" height means that tall campers can stand up. I am 6' 2", and for me, the extra weight is a good trade off for the luxury of superior space.
