I'm getting back into camping after a long hiatus. I camped one night this year because I had a fishing tournament early on a Sunday morning so I camped at the lake. I have a Remington 4 person tent that I bought at a garage sale many years ago and it has holes in 3 corners of the floor so I'm shopping for a new tent.
I have a couple questions and would like your opinions. Almost all of my trips will be fishing centered and they will all be at campgrounds.
I may be going during the winter on ice fishing trips but probably only 1-2 a year. I'm 6'1 260 so I'm not a small guy in my 40's. I have a military style cot and cold weather and warm weather sleeping bags. Are cabin style tents harder to keep warm than a dome tent?
Also, I can't seem to find a tent smaller than a 4 person that has an interior height around 5 feet. 3 feet interior height isn't enough when you're a big guy and the cot puts you a foot off the ground. The North Face Talus 4 has a 6ft interior while the Talus 3 is 3'10" per Campmor.com and I don't know if I want to spend quite that much for less than 10 nights a year.
Anyone have recommendations or comments?
Thanks
