Big Agnes Elkhorn 2-Person Tent w/ Footprint
...take the dogs

Ranked #1080 - 3-Season Tents

Picked up this tent last fall and have used it in all conditions; from 25 F with sleet and snow to 65 F staring into the infinite cosmos. Enough room for my two 60 lbs. hounds, a 2500 cubic inch pack, a full size Thermarest and myself. The footprint is a welcomed addition to anyone familiar with soggy woodlands and the pole system is robust. Spent one afternoon in a rain storm with 20 mph winds and was never more comfortable and confident. Reading Muir has never been more enjoyable, not quite lying in sulfur steam in the Sierras but sure was an insightful way to avoid the rain. This tent is nice if you're a backpacker at near 5 lbs it is a crucial component of any excursion I go on.
