A great "beginners" tent and more

As suggested by others this tent is a great way to ease into camping. I got the Right-to-Outlet version of the tent (sagitta)a year ago. It is very easy to set-up and very reliable. We haven't had any condensation or water leak issues. It is not the most light but it is light enough to figure if backpacking is your thing. At 34sq ft it is quite roomy for a backpacking tent. My wife, myself and our 75lb lab fit just fine. There are "3-person" tents out there that are just 5 sq ft bigger.
We've used this tent for car-camping, boat camping and quite a bit of backpacking. Thanks to it we figured that we love the outdoors, and even though it has served it purpose as an entry tent, unless if we settle to one type of camping or our needs change somehow we will probably stick to this all-arounder.
