[demime could not interpret encoding binary - treating as plain text] Ah, tents. :) You do realize they can be an addiction don't you? I currently own two and every time I go to a camp store I instantly gravitate to the tents. To which my wife reminds me that we are _not_ there to buy another tent. :( For kayaking I found that weight was not critical but packed size was. The tent I use for canoeing (North Face Nebula) is just too large (pack size of 24" X 8") to effectively fit in a kayak. For kayaking I use a Mountain Hardwear Light Wedge 2: http://www.mountainhardwear.com/tents/3season/000163.html It packs down to 17" X 6.5". I then put it in a compression sack and scrunch it down to about 17" X 5". Nice and small for fitting in the hatch. Both my wife and I can sleep in the tent, albeit without a lot of extra room but we don't mind being close. :) This tent has served me well, even in strong winds. And the window is a nice feature.
