Hey, have you heard of those "instant tents" that are super-easy to setup? Are those affordable or practical?

Hey Casey,

Sorry it took so long to reply but in Canada, it can be hard to find a suitable internet connection when you are not in a major population center. As for those instant tents, they are crap. They won't keep you dry when it rains. The tent I posted is the same one I use. A couple of weeks ago we had a few days of rain and stayed nice and dry, a bit boring but NPR or CBC radio helps kill the time. Hope all is good with you and hope to hear from you soon
