@Danimal506 It really is. As you said, the drive in was amazing, but being able to get out on the trail was a whole new level of appreciation.

@Brodie Killer man! I gotta get back there. Enjoy it!

A litle bit a the edge of Belgium and Germany.
We call it Hohes Venn.

Trailed this for two days with my son, a tent and light gear. We loved it.

This is the outside of a long inactive Vulcan..

Inside is one of the oldest in some extent intact high moorlands around.

Have to regret we made a short but important history tour in the city of Aachen before.

My backpacking tent is two person. We won’t be doing any serious backpacking with Hattie and so I wanted a 3 season front country tent that would work for the whole family including the dog. This one has a huge center vestibule and distinct 2 person tents for privacy. Each of these has gear storage under the outside rain fly, and the center vestibule affords more storage still. Mom and dad in one, kid and the dog in the other, or kid and a friend, or another couple, etc. the center vestibule can be a mud room, storage for bikes, etc. you can stake each side’s vestibule door up as an awning or roll them as pictured here when they don’t need to be shut.

It packs into a backpack and weighs about 20lbs, so really more for bike packing, car camping, and shorter expeditions.

The solo pitch, strike and rain test went very well.

Big Agnes remains my favorite tent company. Highly recommended if you’re in the market.

@mclaincausey that thing is awesome and I’m with you…love Big Agnes tents. I have a 2-person of theirs that I use for solo trips and it’s fantastic. They’re thoughtful in their design and use great materials. Need an update when you hit the trail with it. And if your family is anything like ours, you’ll be the one stuck on the side with the dog.

Edit. My 2 person is a Fly Creek

@SKT I love that they do more clipping and less sliding of poles through sleeves. They kick ass. Will update for sure!
