quote cycle003: "25 lbs. Wow!" When base camping on an entry point lake or taking a tow and base camping weight has never been an issue for me. We have been known to take a 12x12 screen tent, saved many a trip. |

With a stove/ lantern running inside with the flaps down it takes the chill off. The Sunny Sports website seems to be the best price I could find around http://store.eurekatent.com/northern-breeze-screen-house http://www.campmor.com/eureka-northern-breeze-screen-house-sides-awnings.shtml?utm_source=Google&utm_medium=ppc&gclid=CN7Mw9uvncICFeGPMgodXB8A_g http://www.campinnforum.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1684 http://www.sunnysports.com/Catalog.aspx?op=gcsSearch&Term=Northern+Breeze |

anyway, yes this is a heavy shelter that is built to last, and hold up to lots of kid use. The fabric used is heavier than a normal tent fabric. The poles are 7/8" diameter, thicker walled than other tent poles. About 10 to 12 pounds in the poles alone. probably not going to single portage with this or take on a 10 day tour around Quetico. It is for a Base camp, or car camping, where you don't have to carry it to far, or take it down and set it up everyday. The flaps that can be rolled down to stop the driving rain has been very handy when hanging out during an afternoon thunder storm. Also adds a little privacy. One thing I have noticed is that the no-see-um mesh is very fine, it prevents slow breezes from passing through. It will warm up inside. A tent fan helps to keep air moving around on in side while you are in it during the hot parts of the day. It sets up over a long forest service picnic table, with enough room to move around the table. Still yet enough room to have folding chairs, coolers and Tonka trucks. All this room is thanks to the heavy duty poles which support the more vertical walls. an investment in summer enjoyment. |
