Hi Guys and Gals,
After reading over my two recently posted tent reviews (Nemo Obi 2P and TNF Sputnik 2P) it hit me like a ton of bricks that the needs and requirements of you all who frequent the Appalachian Trail can and are significantly different than that of needs in the North West and South West portion of our nation where I live and backpack. As such, I wanted to offer an apology for being so opinionated in my reviews (especially in the Nemo Obi 2p) towards that mindset. My hope was to be helpful, but think I dropped to ball. Thank goodness so many of your called me out, stating what your needs were along the Appalachian in comparison to mine on the opposite side of our nation.
I am fortunate to have access to (and often try out) many of the new tents, sleeping bags, backpacks, packing gear, etc, and as such, I would love the opportunity to keep posting reviews here. And in hopes of being more useful for all who frequent this excellent community, I will work to stick only to basic facts (and lots of pix), and will leave my opinion and experience out, and let those of you who read determine if said item being showcased would be useful for your needs along the Appalachian.
Thanks again!
