[at-l] Advice, please on tents for my scouts

[Bob Wardecker]

Mark;

I my experience with scouting  a lot of  troops use tents from  Eureka. 
The are pretty inexpensive and bomb proof. There are many more 
manufacturers out there that have tents that would fit the bill. I have 
in the past used Eureka tents and they hold up well to the rigors of 
extended use. I currently use a Hennessy Ultralight Backpacker Asym 
Hammock but that would not work in the situation you describe. YMMV
