I like Eureka! tents.

What weather will you be in? In my experience, if you expect any rain, buy a 4 season tent. Anything else, you'll be soaked before long. the "rainfly" on the 3 season tents are a joke.

I don't shop at REI, I think their stuff is overpriced and they always seem to be out of stock on what I am looking for. Lastly, when I tell them I need the equipment to go HUNTING, I always get the stink eye. Maybe your location is less of a Sierra Club hangout.

That's my two tents worth!
