Re: [Paddlewise] Tents

I have a Kelty Zen tent and use it a lot for solo kayak camping. A couple of
comments.

1 - It isn't self supporting (that is you have to stake it down). This is
sometimes difficult on the rocky northeastern North America shores and Baja
beaches where I've used it.

2 - It is pretty small for two people - just barely enough room to lay out
the sleeping bags.

But it is small and light, is plenty waterproof, and if staked down - sheds
wind very well.

When I'm going on shorter trips where storage space in the boat isn't so
critical, I usually take a larger self supporting dome tent I have (from
Eureka - about 10 years old.
