Yes dear - I really do need another tent

"Carrie I think I need to get a new tent"

"What? You've already got..." Carrie starts to count tents on her fingers until she runs out!

Just to prove my previous post where I said one tent is never enough, today I came across a situation where my current tent quiver isn't good enough.

We're planning a trip to the Western Arthurs in Tasmania in Feb. I've been part way along the ridge line and I can hardly wait. The problems are:

1. I need a strong 4 season tent (for very strong winds, driving rain and possible snow)
2. It needs to be lightweight (to keep pack weight to a minimum on a 2 week walk)
3. My current tents are all 2 man, so we need a 3 or a solo tent to go with the 2 man tents.

The short list:

• Hilleberg Soulo
• Hilleberg Akto
• Exped Vela 1 Extreme
• Aarn pacer 1
• Tarptent Scarpa 1

There's still lots of thinking (read convincing) to do.
