Actually, I appreciate any and all information I can gather on this.
And even though I didn't know about seam sealer and don't doubt that it should be used, none of my soakings were from leaking seams. My problems have always been mechanical - rain flys that seem like an afterthought and don't keep out blowing rain (or collapse in the wind).

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.

I stopped "tenting" several years ago when the bones got to rough for that sort of thing. Now I take the sissy way out and bought a Coleman pop-up. I actually look forward to T-storms now. |
