Larger tent advice please

[VernAK]

I do an extended canoe trip each summer and need a tent that erects quickly each night. Often we set up on gravel bars to catch a breeze and escape bugs......I've got the Cabela's Outfitter tents......too slow to set up.

I looked at Hilleberg Keron 4 GT and it has appeal but would like a bit more headroom.

I had a Drawtite years ago and they are no longer made.....perfect design.

Any other suggestions?

Sounds like someone needs a 6 - 8 man tipi.

I have a 12 man but need a floor and better bug nets.....

If space/weight isn't much of an issue you could go oldschool with something from Kodiak Canvas?

I've never found anything better than a GoLite Shangri-La 5. I know they've been reissued under a different name so they're still available. The bugs in northern Saskatchewan are equally as bad as what you'd get in Alaska, so the inner net is essential. We've also just thrown up the outer shell if rain is coming and we need a dry place to hunker down. I'm 6'2" and can mostly stand in the middle. (My days of crawling in and out of a small backpacking tent are behind me...)
