Great tent for dollars - downpour worthy car camping tent

Kelty Acadia 4 Tent - 4 Person, 3 Season
I've had this tent a couple of years now. A few added cargo pockets would be nice, but most importantly it has kept me dry thru some pretty big NC gully washers. Most recently water got under the tub and over the ground cloth, but no water entry. The vestibules are great for stinky shoe and gear storage. One other wish list item. Perhaps the fly should have a guy cord attachment in the center between the poles. You can stake it out, but a cord and stake could make this tent close to rain proof. Lastly I like that it is mostly screen below the fly. For NC climate that is great.

MSR Hydromedary Bag -2-3L-
Up until know I've been a water bottle (Nalgene) guy. Being primarily an east coast backpacker I've never needed much more. Bought this for a hike into grand canyon and used the eyelets to hang it vertically in my pack, vs springing for a camelback style rig. Still not a fan of sipping thru a plastic tube, but must admit if you need to carry bunches of water this is a comfy way to do it. Seems like it will be good for hanging up at the campsite, whether that is car camping or wilderness. Love the big mouth.

Therm-a-Rest NeoAir Trekker Sleeping Pad
This is my first pad other than a foam ridge rest. I mostly car camp but have dreams of backpacking again. I'm also over 50 and I think I have less tolerance for the constant adjustments I need to make when sleeping on a thin mattress than I did years ago. A friend has a similar model and convinced me that it is durable enough. Just got back from a two night trip and I slept great - basically as good as I do at home in my own bed. It makes a little noise but once you get settled in it's no big deal. I don't give 5 stars so at 4 stars - I think I got a good deal and am very satisfied.
