Great beginner tent at a great price - Big Agnes Blacktail 2 Tent

After reading up on this model on several websites, I found this guy on sale at CampSaver for $180. It arrived in perfect condition and will fit my needs perfectly. For someone who only does a few overnight backpacking trips a year, it's PERFECT and doesn't cost $500 like some of the slightly lighter tents. The poles are symmetrical which is a nice small bonus.

I will say there is some confusion on the website, this tent DOES come with a footprint (part of the package from Big Agnes). It's very clear on the printed Big Agnes tag that comes with the tent that "footprint included". So unless something changes, there's no need to buy a separate footprint.

If you see this back on sale, jump on it!
