    Re: Tent advice?

    I camp very often in northern Wisconsin. After much consideration, last week I purchased an ALPS Taurus 5. You can see my criteria for making this purchase at this camping forums thread. http://www.campingforums.com/forum/s...an-stand-up-in

    I chose the ALPS Mountaineering Taurus 5 Outfitter. It can fit two queen beds (10' X 8'). Over 6' tall, and has a full length rain fly. It has two screen doors for good ventilation and convenience. It also has two vestibules to stash your shoes and gear out of the rain, but outside your tent.. It is easy to set up. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is...us+5+outfitter

    They have a larger 6 person Taurus also.

    Wisconsin gets a lot of rain, so you need a full length fly. Mosquitoes are plentiful and it can be hot as he'll one week and cold the next, so you want a tent with good screened ventilation AS WELL AS the ability to zip the tent up for warmth.

      The Marmot Limestone 8P tent is super nice. We have it and have used it for family camping and it provides a stable, comfortable tent. It does have some condensation issues in the very humid weather but if you are careful and keep the rainfly and tent body separated it does not drip inside the tent body. When we set up the Marmot Limestone 8P tent, I think it is the best looking tent in the campground. We are selling ours as we are going to a Kodiak 10X14 vx since it is a 4 season tent. The Marmot is a 3 season tent. If it were a 4 season we would be enjoying it for a long, long time.
