Question if I may...you are not talking about backpacking, are you?
You seem to be aiming more at a base camp and packing from there.
Yes, I'm looking for more of a base camp type deal. But I'm prefer something quick and easy lightweight, lightweight, and very portable. I don't want to put up a $500 canvas tent for a quick overNight hunt. I figured this Forum was the closest I could find to gather information from some experts.
