It's been many years since I have been backpack camping and I am not sure what type of tent would be best for me.
I am interested in a three person tent, light to ultralight, and that is where things have gotten confusing for me.
I have a few trips planned for southern Utah this year as well as a couple in the Uintas. Possibly the Tetons as well.
Most will be with my 10 y/o boy, so something easy to set up. Not sure if we will have our hiking poles or not so I'd rather not have that be a part of tent setup.
I have thought about the Tarptent cloudburst 3 but am not sure if it's the best option. I like the extra head room it seems to have and it may be nice if I end up with a gal to go on trips with. (Figured women may like a bit more room, who knows I haven't figured them out yet )
Would love to hear some advice from experienced packers, I'm sure you've learned a lot over the years!
Thanks for any info!!
