We are starting western trips next year, coming from Michigan. Currently we have nothing in regards to tent camping. Starting from zero. We would like to do it right.
For now, we will basically be vehicle camping so weight isn't much of a factor. I think our needs are
-sleep 3 guys and have room for gear, cots, stove
-able to withstand wind and snow
It has to be comfortable for my dad, he's not into roughing it too much so I don't see him sleeping on the ground in a floorless tipi.
I think a wall tent or a tent like the cabelas alaknak would be what we want but I'm not sure of the benefits of one over the other. Being too warm in the early season is a concern of mine.
Whatever we end up with, I'd pefer it come from Cabelas because we accumulate bunch of points throughout the year that will purchase it for us.
Any suggestions or advice is welcome.
