I'm actually looking for a tent now as well. I need to get my check from REI for the past year first, and I should have enough to get a decent tent.

I'm looking for one that is small enough to be carried on a bike or backpack and that a neutral color that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb from a mile away.

I have a decent 4-person tent I am borrowing from my parents right now. I used it when I hiked down to the Colorado river at the Grand Canyon. (The river is loud, bring earplugs). It wasn't designed with a daypack in mind. It worked out much better when I camped at a campground in California.

I like this tent, and will probably get this one.

This would be a good choice for me as well.

I like your Sunnyside tent as well though.

It is a tough decision. Have you found a tent yet?
