BT2+stove(pictures,video) and 4 man photos

I had enough room to stretch out without touching the canopy. I'm talking about with the canopy tight to the ground, and using a green military type isomat pad, about 1/2" thick.

A couple more thoughts,

I can identify with Reaper's sentiments regarding the BT-2, in that for me I prefer the room, and pay the weight penalty. I even went to the 6-person to have true standing room at 6'3". It's about a 5.8 lb package with CF pole. I have tried to offset that by also going with a Unaweep 4800 pack, that is about 3 lbs empty. Also a lightweight 3 oz cooking stove (Olicamp Xcelerator Ti).

Still working on a Ti woodstove. then nice lightweight sleep pad and bag or quilt, then better clothes, boots, etc etc......It all costs, but hey, I don't gamble or go to the bars. Getting there little by little....grin

For the size/weight, personally I'd happily carry the 4-person over the BT-2, but if you are carrying your camp on your back everyday, and setting up wherever you stop, then the weight of the BT-2 would be kind of enticing. But then if you have to ride out some bad weather, the 4-man would be a lot more comfortable, and plenty of room to dry and stockpile firewood.

The 6-man is a nice size. Real happy with it. We have been using it for a lot of day use fishing lately. Planning on a titanium stove before too long. We really enjoy camping more in the cooler weather.

Here are a few pics you might enjoy. Not a lot of tipi pics but enjoying some days fishing the local rivers and lakes. I always pack along a tipi nowadays for shade, or a wind shelter to cook in, even for a day trip.







12-man,

The 6-person is a nice increase in size from the 4-person. Not too much more weight. Might be just the ticket for your growing family.

Here's a link to my photobucket page with 6-person pics on it if you want to look. Kind of gives an idea how the size looks.

The Redcliff might be about the same useable size, for less weight.
