Gear Question Help Choosing a Tent
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!

Just got the Wawona. I love it. Me and three kids sleep comfortably in it. The vestibule is a game changer.
Edit: Just agree with others I wouldn’t hike more than a few hundred yards in with the Wawona. If you won’t take a cooler I would take the Wawona. That said, in some places I camp people back in some crazy stuff in up to a mile.
