the Wizard of Oz
Heading out by myself again next week. So...
I just bought the BA Wyoming Trail 2. IMHO, comparable to the Redverz Solo, but (at REI) more than $200 cheaper. I've only just set it up in the yard, But I'm digging the huge vestibule, and the door/awning that you can unzip and hold up with almost any tent pole type of standards for added shelter/shade. W/o the rain fly/ big vestibule, the small sleeping section looks very meshy and comfy in the heat, or for "stargazing." The 2-person sleeping area is snug for 2, but generous for one, and has another small vestibule and door on that end.
It needs some extra line for tie-downs and stake-outs ( several loops, and a couple lines on each window are provided), to keep the rain fly/vestibule away from the main body of the tent, but that's like what? a dollar, or grab a couple long bungees from the garage. It's kinda big; 24x 8 packed. Sorry. i forget the weight...ok i looked. about 10 lbs.
I wanted room enough to stand...almost, for me at 5'10" but mostly I wanted a place to sit, cook, just be out of the rain or blazing sun; someplace to watch the world go by. I think I got it.
I am completely unconnected to any of the companies mentioned above. I have no interest in them, nor do I stand to profit in any way from this "revue."
