I'd mentioned in the original thread that we were camping in the Smokies in early summer...every single day we'd get thunderstorms passing through with horizontal rain like clockwork.

My cheap wally-world tent was no match...so this was our solution.

Right! I bought one of those Wally World Junor tents. It barley rained and my butt was soaked to the butt bone!

Leason leared!

Nice tent!! The DIY prodject you're thinking of might just convert her. Try it out!

Maybe I'll try it just for fun in my back yard some night soon.

That's funny "Cannibal" has a MSR Hubba collecting dust in his closet too!

It started as a 2 week trip that turned into a year and a half. It turned out I didn't feel like leaving right away.

Nice! Lol... It's a hard thing, to leave the woods.

I was sleeping under a tarp, on a piece of tyvek with a torsoe sized pad and the backpack under the feet until I switched. Still use a TT Double Rainbow when no trees are to be expected; it's packed for next weeks trip for when we have to
