Hey all,

regarding small tents. Be sure and test the length of the tent when 
shopping. I have an older NF Starlight 2(ha!) person tent which is 
about six inches too short. Under normal conditions, this is just 
annoying. When it is storming out,the end of my sleeping bag gets 
soaked from being in contact with the end of the tent. Last year I 
got a great deal on a Sierra Designs Lookout 
(http://www.campmor.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/CategoryDisplay?cgrfnbr=447 
62&cgmenbr=226) which is a massive three person, three/four season 
tent. I love it for kayaking because it is just so *huge*. I can ply 
racquetball in the thing.

I save the ultralight packing for hiking.

-Patrick
