In need of a new tent.Part 2, the decision.

I set up the tent in my back yard Thursday afternoon. Initially I thought it was a bust as the rain didn't start as early as the weather lady predicted but she is good looking so I forgave her. Around 4 in the morning it kicked in. No leaking seams and no condensation as of yet. I left the tent up for the rest of Friday and it got a good rain test.

Mike, that is not a bad idea. Thinking about setting this up in my backyard Friday and seeing how it performs in the weather they are claiming we are about to get.

Funny how we post at the same exact time!

I just wrote "Did you?" down your way, some of the 10' deep debris flows with large rocks looked like it wouldn't matter what tent you bought. We only had a gentle 5" of rain in 24hrs and another inch the next day.

I did not put my tent up. She's seam sealed by me.

Glad you tested it and glad it worked. Even better if you would have slept in it!

Russ, I did sleep in it! That's how I knew when it started raining. My wife thought I was nuts.

Very nice!!! Note to all wives, we're all nuts..

Glad the tent works. It looks like a nice tent.

I'm glad to hear you like the Big Sky tent. I've been looking at them for a while, but have not pulled the plug yet. Every year I usually buy on bigger item; so this year it might be one of those Big Sky tents.
