Hey guys, I'm in the market for a shelter and a little up in the air about what I want. I'm looking to primarily camp with the family, mostly in the spring, summer and fall. Some of this will be backpacking. I am also looking to do a backcountry hunt in September. My wife and I have 4 children, from age 10 to 5 months. Cost is not the biggest factor, but I also don't want to go crazy. I have been reading and researching for weeks now and have sort of landed on Seek Outside. I like the Redcliffe, because I think it would have plenty of room for us, but feel like I would really need a nest since we camp in the summer alot. I live in TN and the mosquitos will almost carry you away in the summer. I don't want to spend what it would cost to buy the Redcliffe and 2 half nest. I do like the idea of the Cimmaron and the full nest. I know that it would not be idea for a family the size of mine, but with my children being so young, I'm guessing we would be fine for several years. My backcountry hunt will just have 2 of us, so the size of the shelter won't matter much here, other than the weight of packing it in. Could anyone share some experience, advice, pictures, etc... that would help me make up my mind. Thanks.
