    I bought a really cool tent where three like little apartment tents connect to gether with zippers and the middle is huge. I love it its so cool!!! Any of you guys do this? What I do is set up my tent bring it to the huge ass feild behind my house, Load tent with tons of pillows and blankets, set it up inside like blankets down and everthing then go get like a 24 pack of soda and get chips and snacks for the night. Then I get me and my friends their and it rocks!!
    This is the kind I have I love it . I got it from walmart LOL but its great!!!!

    I have 3 tents, all of which get their use. A 3 season 4 person tent used for festivals. A 4 season 3 person tent for backpacking with a friend or two. And a 4 season one person tent for solo hiking.
    A good tent is important. There has been quite a few times though that i set up a tent but ended up just sleeping outside.

    I've got a Cabella's one person 3-season, I love it. So easy to put up, it's relatively light, and not overly expensive (90 bucks). I prefer to sleep out under the stars, though, when I can. Tents are good for rain and bugs, but if there's not much of either, I skip the tent.

    I Love my Kelty Zen tent.... Its two person and weighs in at 4 lbs. I've had it for 5 years and its still going strong.... Its been through many rain storms but its kept me as dry as a bone.... I think I paid $130 for it but I've gotten more than my $'s worth out of it.

    i only like tents when its really cold or there is a terrible downpour the likes of which a simple tarp won't help with.....

    otherwise i prefer a hammock, or just a sleeping mat and a blanket and backpacking pillow.....or whatever....but sleeping under the stars is where its at. fresh air does wonders for how well you'll sleep. i hate tents...they get all stuffy and humid and smelly and such....especially if you're sharing it with someone else. the moist smelly breath of a couple people, add in hiking boot foot smell and stuff....blegh. tarp or stars for me!

    Yes, Asda is owned by Walmart (I work there unfortunately) but they don't sell tents ... at least not at my store!

    16 feet by 9 feet at the center, 6' walls. Anyone want to buy it? Turned out to be too big for our needs. Make you a great deal!
