New tent

I got a new tent a few days ago so we can try camping when the weather's not as favorable. Ivory and Wesley jumped right in; Nicky's not so sure.









Front view, without rain fly. I can go from taking it off my backpack to this stage in under five minutes, probably even in the dark. It's very fast and very simple. Three poles, a tent and a ground cloth. Stakes optional.










This is from the front with the rain fly on. I'm not quite as fast with that but after a few more practice runs I'll be able to do it fast, in the dark, in bad weather, on uneven ground.










Ivory got in with very little coaxing; he'll do great.












I thought Ivory went in easily; when I climbed in and turned around, Wesley was already inside. I didn't even have to bribe him with liver treats.
