    Watch for one used. I don't think the Hubba Hubba is any better, or that much different than an REI Quarterdome though.

    You mentioned the Zeus 2. This was my first backpacking tent. It served me very well and kept me dry in some horrendous storms. It was the fastest tent to put up that you could find. It is also very wind stable.
    Condensation can be a problem and it can be too hot a tent for some summer camping but for the price was excellent. It's finally worn out, zippers failed and it's gone brittle after about ten years of use about a month to six weeks of use per year.
    I definitely prefer my Tarptent but the Tarptent is quite a bit more expensive.

    was hiking in Tall Trees Grove in redwood national park this summer. saw a few widow makers speared into the ground. some were thigh to waist sized diameter where they entered the ground. They could not be dislodged, so I am guessing they penetrated at least a few feet deep!
