Good choice on the tent. With MEC tents, you really cannot go wrong no matter which of their tents you choose. Their tents are all very good quality and MEC stands behind their products if there are any problems. I have a Tarn 2 tent and it has withstood a few years of use...and abuse with no complaints.
