Tent recomendations please.....................

After campong in floorless tents i'd never go back to one with a floor. I sleep on a Big Agnes Air Core sleeping pad and stay plenty comfy.

For 3 of you a kifaru or seekoutside tipt in a 6 man size would be perfect. While. Udget is a consideration for sure, think about how much you would spend on a few cheaper tents that dont cut it. It adds up to a one time investment in a quality tent that will last and keep you dry. The tipis are  ery wind resistant and you can get a liner and woodstove for them.

I spent 17 days up the Mulchatna a few years ago. We had 3 adults and a 12 year old in a Cabelas Alaskan dome tent. I think it was a 6 man tent with a vestable and blue poly tarp for floor cover. It rained quite a bit and we stayed dry, the vestable made alot of difference. We could get out of rain gear and wet shoes, with enough room for our packs without bringing wet gear in sleeping quarters. I am 6'3" and I had enough head room. I would up grade the fiberglass poles for the metal ones. The last night the wind blew about 50 or 60 mph and we broke a couple of fiberglass poles. I wouldn't hesitate at all about taking one of those tents again. We were very comfortable.

I just picked up a Cabelas alaskan dome tent in the "bargain cave".  It was an 8 man which is bigger than I need but the price was right.  I was able to set it up by myself and was impressed with how rugged it was.  I have yet to put it to the test but it is twice the tent I replaced from Bean and that tent kept me dry for 12 years of camping.
