We have a Mountain Hardware Trango-2 for a fallback tent. It was the tent we started with back in 1995.

We're both in our 50s, and enjoy a little more creature comfort of a larger tent most of the time. Chairs, table, cots, woodstove, etc.

A couple years ago we purchased a 12x14 wall tent with internal frame as well. It's really comfy to live in for a while, but a bit more work getting it set up, heavy, bulky, and catches a lot of wind. Then getting it dry.

Been thinking about an 8-man Seek Outside Tipi for ease of setup/takedown, low bulk storage, roominess, and supposed wind resistance, but I'm not sure how well they REALLY take the wind.



Nice pics. I have a pleasant image of a table going up with the poker chips and cards coming out after dinner.
