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.

KC,

Just get your facts straight. The BT2 works just as good as the tent you pictured for summer trips. The stove is optional just like a propane heater would be for one of your tents. And there isn't even a liner option for the BT2, a nest, yes but not a liner. I don't have liners for any of my tipis. For me they are added and unnecessary weight.

Your experience with mountaineering tents in a wide variety of conditions is a valuable contribution to the message board, but doing a gear critique without having used it isn't.
