Gear Reviews: Tent

Gunnison 2.1

Manufacturer: Kelty

I love this tent, and I bought it over a cheaper one because of reviews here and elsewhere. Granted, for one person it is a bit much, but is large enough for my hiking companion, my black lab, and the vestibules are wonderful. (I have tested it in way too much rain this season.) It is truly a 2-person tent, it is well-built, and because of that I don't mind toting around the little bit of extra weight, volume, etc.
