This tent seemed to be the most 3-season tent for the money when we were shopping for a smaller tent, and after using it I think we were right. It will be a snug fit for 3 adults but it is luxurious for 2, which is typical for most tents anyway. Setup is easy, footprint is moderate and ventilation is superb without being drafty. No storms yet but the geometry looks decent, there is plenty of interlink between fly, frame, and guy points, and there are 9 anchor points even before guying out. This is a real 3-season, not convertible, so our aged Mountain Hardwear Skyview 5 is still the tent of choice for cold, snow, and places with dust storms, but for less than extreme camping this is a lot of bang for the buck.

This is my 2nd and hopefully my last headlamp. I use it for camping and sometimes some very late night yard chores. I mostly use the 3 LEDs on the low setting and get adequate task and navigation light. The single beam packs quite a punch and if you really need to see what's around you (like finding that difficult campsite) it's like having a small Maglite strapped to your head, without the weight. I especially like that it's waterproof.

This bag turned out to be as good as I'd hoped or even better. I bought it for snow camping, which I've been doing in a smaller 20 degree bag. Room was the big issue and the Goliath (long) with it's 68" shoulder circumference is perfect for a 5'-11" 210lb weightlifter. Struggling to operate zippers etc from inside are a thing of the past, and as a tosser and turner I am well accommodated. The 0 degree rating is bonus; I shed layers to sleep whereas my campmate did not and still found it unnecessary to zip it all the way up, much less tighten any drawstrings. Also the hefty zippers are easier to operate than those on my other bag. This is easily worth the cost and definitely worth dealing with the extra size.
