Meet My Tents - Part 2

My wife says I own to many tents, but I’m fixin’ to buy another one, I’ll explain why in a minute. She also thinks it’s silly that I name my tents, but I do. My oldest tent is named “Ole Faithful”. It is the tent that I took on the trip from hell that I didn’t get to sleep in. It is a 12 year old Hillary 4 man dome tent that is still in great condition. I keep it because it is so reliable and I plan on letting the boys use it when they get old enough to sleep in their own tent. Then there is “The Mayor House”. It is a 6 man that I bought when we had our 1st kid. The name comes from when we were dubbed the mayor of shanty town at a small tent city we found ourselves at because it was the nicest tent on site. It is a 6 man Swiss cabin style with a room divider. I decided that I really don’t like cabin style tents so I bought an 8 man dome from Bass Pro Shop named “Titan”. I loved that tent. Unfortunately I lost it in an ice storm that came with heavy winds. A rather large limb fell on the frozen tent causing to collapse and breaking most of the poles. I think I’m going to buy the same tent again, probably Titan 2, but I’m open to suggestions. I guess it really depends on what I get. For backpacking I have a 2 man that is yellow so I named him Tweetie. Have not used it that much it is fairly new, I like I so far but I guess the jury is sill out. I’ll yet y’all know. I also lost a dome style screen house names Breezy this spring to a storm that I will need to replace. Any suggestion on my replacements is appreciated. I will post a photo blog soon.
