Do you plan to get pregnant while camping to need a test? LOL. I got a bass pro tent 3 years ago, I did have one spot that leaked in a corner but that was because it was puddled up on the fabric. Other then that, i love mine!

John's tent is a mansion of tents Brebs. How many will be sleeping in your tent? that's what you have to think of first. Then it comes down to brand and money. I just have a smaller tent, it's Wenzel I bought from Dunham's 12 years ago and I haven't had a problem. I do waterproof spray it before it's first use every year though.

It doesn't, but I know what you mean. It suits my needs, I don't have kids and it sleeps 2 no problem. I really love how 95% of the ground space is air mattress lol
And mine isn't the outhouse, Cp's is WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY smaller, looks like a little coccoon staked there. I say he has the outhouse and I'm bumped up to double wide outhouse

I don't know anything about the 4 seasons tents, but I'd recommend a dome-style tent with a rain fly. Much faster and easier to set up than a cabin tent and more wind and water resistant also.

I have a cabelas brand tent that sleeps 2 real comfortable with a little room for other things. Never had any issues with leaking and it has been in some major rain the last 3 years on our canoe trip down the ausable. One thing I would recommend when looking is to get a tent that has the poles that interlock with the elastic in them. Makes the tent go up a whole lot faster!! Guide series tents seem to be pretty good too, my sister has one.

Your all jealous of my one man tent! I wish I had a picture of it from that trip Splash. Good thing i set it up on that slight incline and it poured all night! I did discover that the back of my explorer is quite comfortable!

It did rain pretty good. Both times I've camped with you it's rained pretty good.
