Nice tent
By Dave Watson
Ranked #55 - 4-Season Tents

Very nice place to hang out. Most of these large 8 person tents seem pretty much the same. They give you a place to hang out and cook, stay dry, store gear, take showers etc. I've enjoyed all the time I've spent in here. The downside of this tent is the weight. 57lbs- wow. Imagine when it is wet with morning frost when you pack it. It is more than 1 porter load. The Marmot Lair 8 is basically the same size and weighs 25 lbs., a much more reasonable load.
