I or I should say we leave in less than thirty days march 5th I think I have a dome tent that I like it is a quest or something like that I can't remember right now. The rain fly does not go all the way to the ground. I have a ground sheet for it and am planning on bringing another tarp to string up above it to add extra protection from blowing wind and rain which I am not even sure if I will need anybody think that will work or should I just go ahead and buy a better tent which I really don't want to pay for our bags are rated for 20 degrees and we have bag liners that add 10 degrees If i do pick up a tent I am really considering the kelty grand messa. Oh ya by the way I don't think we are going to be staying in shelters much if at all privacy issues as in we are a new couple and I really don't want mice chewing up all my stuff
