Tom,
What tent do you use and why?
Thanks

The only answer I can give is another question: When? I have at least 5 tents I'm currently using. Depending on the trip length and forecast weather. The five are 1; Sierra Designs Clearwing 2, 2: Sierra Designs Tensegrity 2 3: Kelty Horizon 2 4: Black Diamond Hilight 2P and 5: Mellow wants to be me so badly he bought both a motorcycle (BMW1250RT) and tent (Nemo Switch 2) to match mine !

Ok! But if you could only have one, which would it be. I do not have one and am looking at getting just one and give this motocamping a try.

The one Mellow and I have will probably end up my favorite: The Nemo Switch 2 is well built (a little too heavy and not compact enough for backpacking), very roomy, plenty of ventilation and headroom, door can be used as an awning, should be good for hot weather, and easy to setup. I haven't used it enough yet to say for sure but it's in the top 2.

If the Nemo ends up in second place the Sierra Designs Clearwing 2 would be the first place one as it's quicker in set up, has a smaller footprint and packs up smaller.

I can't believe you let me get away with using your picture of the NemoSabe from NatSToc, while saying you were copying me...I still think it will be a winner .

I can't avoid the obvious... I want to be Tom... I think many here do, but are just too afraid to admit it for fear of being cancelled.

How do i add my days touring?

... and yet I often identify as a Mellow.

It's a Thorogood proof tent that you need!

Who needs a tent? All you need is a tent site and a camp chair!

I don't get the funny part and I'd probably laugh if my sister's ... well, we got so many people here on the lower mainland nodding off and dying pretty much like that, six a day now, in fact, I've seen it, just like that, from fentanyl, it's really no joke, most of our out west contemporaries have known three or four of their friends that just aren't around anymore. Real people.

maybe five or six will get them off their collective asses, but.. all things being equal
