I love my almost seven year old Exped Sirius Extreme. It has saved my butt many times, but carrying 6.5 lbs of a tent is getting tiresome. I use tents under two different situations, so I figured I do need two tents at this point.
Situation one: walk two-three miles, camp for a week or so, no more than two adults. Her,e space is a must, weight isn't too big of an issue (but still not as heavy as my Exped), needs to be solid when it comes to serious, constant and continued downpours (floor must be able to handle as tiny stream as well), headroom would be nice and needs to have the ability to have 99% privacy (like TT Hogback). Will definitely prefer a 3-4 person tent here. What are your suggestions?
Situation two: outings mostly out in the Catskills and Adirondacks with the missus and the six-year-old (and occasionally by myself) for 1-4 nights, needs to be as light as possible but not be a tarp and needs to have a bathtub floor (missus requirements), spacious and airy. What are your suggestions here? (possibly looking at Rainshadow 2)
