Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8 Tent: 8-Person 4-Seaon

The Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8 Tent provides the room you need to sleep eight people or serves as a meeting and meal room for the entire expedition. Full-on winter-ready construction handles nasty mountain storms with high winds and lots of snow, so you don’t have stuff flying away like all those surplus tents you see turning into kites. This Big Agnes tent gives you enough room to stand up in the middle and includes a spacious vestibule to let you in and out without soaking everything.

Bottom Line: Big and burly.

I would suggest the Big House 6 from Big Agnes. Los of space realitively lightweight for your horses.

It really all depends on what you want to spend, what season and how concerned about weight you are. To make life easier on my horses i would have two different tents one that fits 6 people and one that just fits two that way when there is just 2 people my horses dont have to carry all that extra weight. Im guessing that you are only going to need a 3 seasons tent so i would go with the...Mountain Hardwear Casa 6 Tent 6-Person 3-Season. Its not even half the weight of this tent only 11lb 10oz and it is 150$ less. That way you can have one text and even when its two people your only putting 6Lbs per horse not has bad as 14Lb per horse with this tent

Big Agnes Flying Diamond 8

By: Backcountry.com Employee
September 21, 2009

Ok, after trashing my last "big" tent at Burning Man in 2008, I needed a new one for this year. Our requirements were simple: a 6 - 8 person tent, had to be about 6 feet tall, room for a double size air mattress, room for two adults to store lots of clothes and stuff, good in the wind, walls that reasonably sealed out dust, strong enough to survive a black rock desert wind/dust storm, not too expensive.

Here's how the BA flying diamond did: could easily accommodates 8 adults, I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall and had some headroom in the middle of the tent, easily handled our space requirements, held up well in winds up to about 35 mph (never got windier than that), sealed out the dust.

Ok, it met the basic requirements... here's the rest of the details. This is not a true "four season" tent. The top of the main body is mesh/screen and does not completely seal out the elements. The rainfly provides good protection, but the main body of the tent does not completely seal off. The vestibule is huge and provides a 6 foot x 4 foot floorspace of additional usable space. The tent is well made and doesn't take too long to set up. Overall, it survived 6 days in one of the harshest desert environments and is ready for its next trip.

Hard to shop without physically seeing it...so here's a 2-part

Hard to shop without physically seeing it...so here's a 2-part question. I want to sleep minimum 2 twin air bed, so would Flying Diamond 8 been an overkill in terms of size versus the FD6? Number of people would be from 2 to 4 plus a dog -- most often just 2 + dog. Would most campsite like state park be able to accomodate the size? I ask cuz I saw a pic of this guy with FD 8 and it looked like it was too much for the defined area. Thanks! Photos anyone?

I looked at the 6 but the 8 is just that much better with added room.
