Rick asked: Following up on my last post, what do you think about this tent 
at Outdoor Outlet????

Rick, I have a 8.5 pound north face tent. I also have a 4 pound sierra 
designs. The sierra designs clip flashlight usually goes on a trip because it 
is light and I've got enough freeboard left over for food and water, photo 
gear, cheap novels, etc. I also have full length vestibules on the tents 
which keeps water out in a blow. I saw a more open design on the kelty which 
may, or may not.

Before you commit 90 bucks plus tax and shipping, pick up this months copy of 
Backpacker magazine. They have far better reviews of outdoor gear than any 
magazine I know of. You can buy a really good, lightweight 3 season tent for 
close to that price.

Dos Centavos, Rob
