Erik's Birthday Present

For Erik's birthday we (friends, family and myself) got him a tent! Well... I rounded up the money and took him out to pick out a tent. None of the stores had the one he wanted so we ordered it online and it finally came in! Erik was so very excited. We have no yard so he set it up in the living room.

 I don't know much about the tent he chose. He told me about it once or twice, but I was in school mode so I was only retaining information pertinent to papers or exams. It's a Marmot Limelight 2 and it's great (I'm hoping). Erik liked it because there are two roomy vestibules on either side.

It is a really easy set-up. Erik did it all by himself :). As you can see, the poles are all connected. They are light weight and... I don't remember what they're made out of.

I was actually surprised at how roomy it was inside the tent. You could definitely squeeze three of you into it. You know, in case of an emergency.

Thumbs up!

The only downside of the tent is that you have to reach way out of the tent to close the fly. But, as Erik says, you don't frequently go in and out of your tent. There were other things Erik liked about this particular tent. I'll have to ask him about that later. I'm just excited to go camping!!!
