RE: [Philmont]: Tents

Scott:
        The way we have addressed the lack of a vestibule, is that when we
set up the tent, we intentionally have the front middle tent pole lean
forward about 3-5 inches, then we set up the back pole accordingly. This
allows a little more overhang than is normally present to help leave some
cover for boots etc. I think it works well for what I am looking for. I keep
my water bottle and boots and camera (Ziplock) in my boot out there.

We will be going for the first time and have decided to use Philtents.
After we pitch the tents for the first time, I cannot imagine set up being
much of an issue. Our only concern is the lack of a vestibule. Do most
bring their shoes inside the tent or leave them covered or in a plastic bag
outside?
