Looking to get a tent from Cabelas. Want a good sized tent that could handle 6 or so people fairly well. Will be used mostly by 4 people and 3 dogs. Just want to get the family out for a few weekends a year. Will be in the Big Horn mountains, or lakes of Wyoming. I am considering this tent made by Browning. Any issues? Any reviews or comments? Any ideas on better options?

I use a 6 man Eureka Timberline Outfitter for just myself. Make sure you allow plenty of room per person.

i have no experience with any browning tent, but it looks well enough made, by it's specs...
i personally do not like any poles to go through any sleeves... i like the eureka clips that can be attached with one hand, and the poles meet at a central hub which is sewn to a loop on the tent roof...
this has proven to be the easiest set up system i have ever used, and it is very sturdy... i have ridden out 60 mph winds in my eureka HQ tent...
tent poles and sleeves = frustration and wasted time IMO....

I agree, go big, or bigger with a family style camping tent- no such thing as too much room...

Go with a Barney's Bombshelter or stay home.

you bring up an excellent point. If the kids are old enough, let them have a small tent of their own.

We use a Swiss Gear tent - it's got an outside frame and the tent clips to that and has a mesh top. There's a canopy that fits over the top for rain. Light and plenty of room for 6 sleeping on big inflatable mattresses. Got it at Sam's for $199 and it's great, although not recommended for extreme use. I don't see the exact model but here's one and you can explore the rest of the site... http://www.swiss-gear-tents.com/ccp0-prodshow/montreaux.html
