Needing a new tent.

[Big Daddy Chia]

I need some suggestions for a tent. Right now I am using a Eureka Apex, and my fat but dont fit in it very well. Also you can only sleep one person confy in it. What I need is something I can stnad up in, has ample room and maybe an outside awning. I have found a tent from Ozark Trails thats seems to do the job but still leary of its cheap price. I dont want to spend a lot of money on one either. Tell me what you got and show me your set ups.

Drive to Buda, and visit the Ginormas sporting goods store.:wings: If they are starting to crank up for camping season, you can "test" fit a couple sizes. We use a 4 person, just for those very reasons. 1. stand up to get dressed, 2.Enough room for 1 bear, an average woman and two 90 lb. Security sensors. everone has room to stretch out and sleep good.

I assume your talking cabelas.

Yep, the other water tower. It's nice to test fit, then search for your best deal. it'll get you some hard specs to compare.

Good call. I have Ozark Trails rain gear, it is barely good enough for desert life. If I lived anywhere else it would be worthless.

We have the high end model that pre-heats your sleeping bag. :wings:

...an average woman...

I thought male ExPo members only traveled with superior women who used their excellent judgment and fine taste to choose our worthy company.

In spite of a few butt-scratching incidents when we think they're not watching.

Well, she is a published Chemist. A Graduated Aggie, who likes Old Trains and Planes, and tolerates me. And I'm going to stop now, before I stick my foot in my mouth.

If we "let" them heat the sleeping bags, we'd just have to get somemore. They are not prone to giving up the warm spot, no matter where it is. They are both Rescue pups, Labra-something or others She's more Grey hound than Lab ( except for the chewing) and He's got a lot of Sheppard and Chow mixed in. they will drown anyone who gets near, especially If you make the mistake of petting them.
