Camping and Backpacking GEAR thread

Anyone else get one of those Marlboro sleeping bags a hundred years ago? I still love mine! It’ll be on top of a Nemo Tensor this year. Can’t wait to try it!

 

A friend climbed Rainer with a bunch of Marlboro gear in the 90s.

 

ah the 90's! only 30 years ago, sorry misspoke.

 

I posted the original question about the cot/tent size. Ended up getting a Big Agnes 2P tent. Just got it, going to set it up in the yard to see. Have not purchased a cot yet, might review some of the mattress options.
And yes, this is for car/truck camping. I didn't want a large full-blown tent, as I don't camp that much/long, and didn't want the hassle of setting up a big-ass tent.
Thanks for all the tips though! definitely food for thought!

 

FWIW the bigger tents can be fairly quick to set up solo. Our 'family' tent is a 6p coleman w/ screen room (variation of this https://www.coleman.com/camp-sports...t-with-screen-room-rock-grey/SAP_2207041.html) and even solo it goes up in 5 minutes. For it, though, since it's family camping we're running a queen air mattress, which isn't the warmest but hey helps having a lady in the 2p sleeping bag for mutual warmth. Plus we don't family camp when it's too nasty anyway.

 

Car camping has always allowed me privilege not permitted backpacking.
I love my Springbar Outfitter tent. Easy to set up.
