Yup another for my pile-O-tents. Have been watching sources for a used Alps Mountaineering Extreme for a larger winter tent. A 3p Outfitter showed up on Ebay that looked new and listed at $190. Came during a break in the rain this week so up it went. Very nice and strong, heavy duty is an apt description with heavy oxford nylon floor and large #10 zippers. End windows have inside zipper access to the fly vents, both doors have zippered fabric netting closures. The inside is long enough to accommodate folks over 6 ft. (not that it applies to me). Removed the pull cords from the inside door zippers and replaced with a florescent green cord attached to both now opening from the inside is easy. Rigged pole anchor tie-outs with cord and locking sliders on each end the vestibule does a fine job of securely anchoring the sides. It will see snow this winter!

A man can't have too many tents.

Someday I may haul the bunch to a wingnite and display em like a Bedouin caravan.
Then I'd need to change my name to "TheShortSheik"!

I bought one of their Chaos 3P tents this year and loved it... Really easy to setup and light. Used it for a week in the rain in late September in the Q. Steep and Cheap for $125.
