Default I just got a new tent!!!

I just picked up a new tent for my husband and I to use for camping. It is a four person Nemo Asashi tent. There's enough room for four adults, although we would use it for just us two and our luggage. I absolutely love it. It's very easy to set up. Most of our tents were hand me downs or tents we found at rummage sales. I love the design that the vestibule opens in the front and you can take the entire portion off. It seems very airy and will be nice and breezy for the summer. I can't wait to get out there and try it in the real woods!

Good for you. I remember when we used to go camping how much I hated the smell of old tents. When we finally got a four person for the two of us, and one we could actually stand up in and have room to move around in, camping was so much more enjoyable.

Congratulations on your new tent. I won a two-person tent a few years ago and remember how it smells even now. I gave it to my grandson, and he's still using it. I remember he was with me when I won it, and his eyes lit up his face. He knew that he was the one winning the tent, even though my name was on the ticket.

Nemo has come a long way with there technology and has been proven as a worthy quality tent. I have been seeing them much on expeditions in AK and Canada..

Awe, congratulations. I'm sure a new tent feels like a new home to some dedicated campers. I've only had hand-me-downs as well. One day we'll have enough extra funds to spend on camping gear.

Good for you! Do you already have plans on where to try it out? A new tent needs a good testing.
