Eight Feet? 64 square feet?

My air mattress is 4.5'x6'. With the 8'x7' floor of my tent, that is barely
enough room to keep the mattress from touching the walls and let me stick a few
items around the edges. Mine is billed as a "2-person" tent which, as other
posters have already pointed out, really means a "2-pygmy" tent. As I said, the
Cabela's tent isn't much larger.

That extra foot in width would give me enough room to make sure that my bag
wouldn't start a leak by touching the tent wall in the rain. I was also
impressed by the wind test -- I rode out one T-storm in mine and am not anxious
to repeat the experience.
