[philmont] Tents

If you are going to spend that much money on a tent (i.e., Hubba or Fling),
you might as well spend a few dollars more and get one of the tents made by
Tarp Tents and save another pound or more. They weigh less than 3 lb,
including the poles. My son and I (both 6¹ 1² or more) stayed dry with
lots of headroom, despite daily rain, and occasional hail and snow last
summer at Philmont. You will need to have a 20 degree bag, or at least a
35¹er with a liner to stay warm at higher altitudes (at least early in the
summer), because these tents are more open than others. However, you won¹t
have to worry about condensation with these single wall tents.
