Ed:
Come on. Let's quit this. Read what I wrote. I told him that he needed two tents.
Start with the $300 tent and see where things go from there.
But he should start with something like this
REI Quarter Dome T-2
Not this
Seek Outside BT-2 (from the Seek Outside web page)
Yeah the BT-2 costs $229 but it's not much good without a stove and that's another $375. So you're actually looking at $600 plus a half nest, which is what is depicted in this photo. Pretty crowded for two people.
You wrote let's agree to disagree. OK I agree. Let's stop this bickering.
