Tents..

Is this the tent that Paul has?

He said his 320+ square foot tent is a Jeep one right? Is that it?

I'm looking to buy a new tent.. Not quite that big, I don't think, but I want a bigger one thats really nice. We do a lot of camping, and our current tent is (I'll quote this based on what my mother said) "The biggest piece of junk ever", and our little tent (the one I used this weekend) is wayyy to small.

So I'm looking for one that can accommodate 5-6 people and all their junk and hold up to a lot of camping... Anyone have any suggestions?

Paul...?

Eureka has alot of really nice tents... anywhere from 1 person to like 25 people tents.

Mine is similar - perhaps the 326 sq ft thing was a bit of an exageration. Mine has door openings on each end, full windows down each side, and the little pop-out windows on each end. Plenty big enough for 5 guys to sleep, bags packed for a week in the Canadian wilderness, and a card table for nightly sessions of "Up and Down the River".

Hmm... 25 person.. that might work.

I was just looking at military tents that are like 40 x 1000 for $4000 lol!

A little bit overkill...

Hmm... I'd like to see this thing... I looked all over for Jeep tents.. but I haven't found it yet, if you get a spare moment and could find me a link that would be great!

We can pick a sunny day and set it up if you want. Sam's Club sells a Swiss Army tent currently that I think is pretty much the same as mine, except mine is a couple years old now. Unfortunately not for sale, though.

Why buy a Jeep tent? Your paying for a name. But, it's your money, you spend it how you want. The swiss army tents at Sams are very nice as Paul mentioned.

I'm not buying a Jeep tent, I was just looking for some info on it.

Right now I'm just scouting around the internet for a nice tent.

I found a sweet 2 person tent that I considered getting for just myself. Has an exocage on it for 4 season camping.

I'm gonna have to go up to sams and look at that Swiss Army tent, thanks for the tip!
