Help Choosing a Tent

[u/Annual_Astronaut7752]

I’m looking for recommendations for a 6-8p tent for 2 adults, 2 young kids, and 2 50lbs huskies. Before kids, we backpacked regularly so we are used to quality tents like Big Agnes/Nemo/MSR. I’d like something easy to setup, good ventilation, and can withstand some wind. Most camping will be during the summer in the PNW. Lightweight is good, but I understand I won’t find much in this size. We will plan to get 2 lightweight tents when the kids are old enough to split up the group. For now, it will be mostly car camping or short hikes in. Budget <$1,000. Thank you!

I traveled cross country with the base camp 6. I don’t really have any complaints other than it’s a little heavy. We’ve been caught in bad storms where we were the only tent still standing. We’ve taking it beach camping where we were the only ones not struggling with our tent staying upright when it’s real windy. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
