I Bought A New Tent

Went to REI last night...
So, after going back and forth about which tent I would buy, I had finally decided not to buy one at all. I figured I could just sadie and me. I bought him that Eddie Bauer backpacking tent from Target and gave it to him a few weeks ago as his early Father's Day gift.

Last night, I stopped by REI for a couple minutes and saw the '01 SD Clip Flashlight was even lower in price than when I last checked... and the footprint was on sale, too. Needless to say, I came home with a new tent.

I'll be using the fly/footprint combo this weekend to test it out. W/out the tent body, it weighs 3 1/4 lbs. Not too shabby considering it's a two person tent.

I love my Clip, even if it is a little too heavy to be considered "ultralight".

I hate when a link doesn't work.

Great tent. Being a gear hound I keep trying to replace mine but can't find anything at the same size/weight/price point. Congrats!
