Hi Michael,
We discovered your website about a year ago, and have loved getting inspired by your stories!
We have planned a family backpacking trip on the Teton Crest Trail this August, based on your past trip, and need to replace our old tent. Our kids are ages 8 and 10, and we need something that will fit the four of us, as well as being light enough to be reasonable to backpack with. We do trips regularly in the mountains around home (Aspen, CO) and in the Utah desert, in spring through late fall. Occasionally we’re out in snow, and sometimes amidst serious bugs. Can you recommend anything in particular that you’ve tried and liked?
