Just Bought a Tent

[ski_crazy]

Oh, I was hoping that is was at the Invasion last year. Looks like a nice place to camp.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

We didnt make the invasion last year, im sad to say.

Thats pretty much why we drove a BAZILLION miles to hang out with these girly asshats at a different event.

they are a good group of folks, I still cant believe they let me camp with them.

 

[Shonuff]

You had food.

Lots of food.

And a bonfire.

And some Lebanese.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

I cant promise any Lebanese at the invasion... wait, maybe!
SJaholic might come, he is basically just a lebesion with less flannel.

but food and fire... yeah, Ill bring those things

 

[Shonuff]

right.

By the way, the large red and white thing on the right side is NOT the tent, thats the cooler full of diet mountain dew.

the tiny red/grey thing on the left is the casa de shonuff.

and of course there is the silver station wagon/mini van thing too.

It's called a crossover SUV, dickhead.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

sorry man

no offense intended.

I am not HIP to the crossdressing SUV things.

 

[Shonuff]

It is obvious to me now why Shonuff needed a new tent.

. . . and I froze my ass off in that tent.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

here is a little tip.

Tents dont really keep you warm.

they give you privacy, protection from insects, and some SLIGHT protection from breezes.

unless you have a tent with a stove jack, its pretty much the same temp inside as it is outside.

get a better sleeping bag!

or one of these.

Bringing an electric blanket this time.

Or I just head over to your tent because you and Hollie sleep on the biggest damn air mattress I've ever seen.

That only applies to big tents my little back packing tent is a good bit warmer on the sub freezing nights.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

radiant body heat = sleeping bag leakage.

good idea, as long as you dont wet the bed.

Pros:

It's really tall inside.
It only has one room so your air barge will fit.

Con:

It's a little pricey.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

$200 is a meager investment.

the tent its replacing is 15 or so years old.

thats only $13 a year, I figure we sleep in it at least 5 times per year, thats less than $3 each use.

Its a bargain if you look at it that way

$200 is a very good price for a tent

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

granted, a $40 tent from walmart with a $10 seam seal job would suffice, I want a FEW added features... I THINK.

Need to weigh the benefits, and more thoroughly evaluate my intended usage of said shelter.

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

found it for $144+$15 shipping.

No the only question, is do I want that LARGE of a tent...

 

[Idok]

all this food is making me hungey!

oh yeah, well these pretzels are making me thirsty!

for the tent, or the pitching of the tent?
