What is the name of this or where could I find one like it? I am looking for a new tent after that trip!
The orange one is a Kelty Trail Ridge 3 and the green one I had on our trip is a Pinnacle. If you're talking about the Pinnacle i'd recommend a smaller one, two or three person because it folds up and around disk. The Kelty is more compact and nice for packing.

Nice! Is that a Kelty Gunnison!? :thumb: If so, I have the SAME tent! ... you definitely need to work on your guyline skills... lmao

Kelty Trail Ridge 3.

Show me Your Tent!

I am in the market for a new tent. I currently use a Eureka one person tent, and it's awesome because it's so easy to set up and takes up hardly any space. The only downside is there's not much space to change clothes or put an air mattress down so on longer camping trips it can get a little cramped/uncomfortable. I'm looking for something a little bigger, easy to set up, and rain proof of course. Let's see what you got!

Of course, mine is the one closest to the camera in this picture.

I moved your post here because we already have a thread. I will say, Big Agnes makes some good stuff that is light weight and fairly roomy. Their quality is awesome!

Great pics. Good to see you taking the kids out camping in the snow. Ours love it as well. I have a bunch of Zpacks gear. Great quality and weight savings.

They love it! So much fun stuff to do in the snow.
Haven't got enough of it here in SoCal the past several years.

It's very cool that your kids dig camping...my two daughters liked it when they were 7-8 years old...now, they can't walk past a mirror without checking their make up...dad now camps & fish by his lonesome often...

I may only have a few more years before I'm going solo too.
Glad I was able to get them out a fair bit while they were young.
Hopefully they'll have fond memories and return to it if they do lose interest for a while.
