Springbar - Highline 10

We started camping in a 2 person tent with a dog. It was fine. Light weight and we were hikeing 50 miles in 3 days. A few others that got bigger. Had a kid and my parents decided they didn’t want to tent anymore so we inherited their “Taj Mahal” tent. $100 three room tent from Walmart that was about 400 sqft. That was fun. It really shined when we had a kid and we could setup the portable crib inside the tent. Gold. Then I got a spring bar 10x10 and me and the wife have a nice queen mattress and the kid has a cot and the dog has his bed. Still in the springbar but the kid sleeps in an old 3-4 person tent with stuffies and friends. (It’s mostly a place to hang out for them). She still come home and cuddles. I have 5 tents. They all serve their purpose. It all just depends on what you are going to do. I’ll never get rid of my 1.5 person light weight tent. I’ll also never get rid of my wall tent. I’ll probably buy a bigger actual wall tent that will be more like a yurt than a tent. It’s an evolving process. If you are in the car go big. If you are hiking go light.

Ive got a lot of tents as I’ve gone through the years. Currently in a 10x10 springbar for me wife kid and dog. Space is awesome, it’s like a small apartment where everyone gets their area and everything can be inside incase of rain. So keep your tents for back packing and if your car camping get something bigger absolutely. At some point my kid will be camping in a 4 person tent by herself so mom and dad can have mom and dad time. We already bring that tent and it acts as a day time spot for kid and friends to hang out in.
