I'm  buying a tent... One of those big honkin' tents that sleeps 400 people.  
 
Ok, not 400, but 8 (which really means 6) and it's the Coleman Rocky  
Springs.  
Has anyone heard of this?  It's $149, has three rooms  and a porch.  The only 
way I can get my city folk friends out with me  is if they don't have to do 
anything or bring anything... You know?   Their only requirement is to SHOW 
UP.  
Anyway, just wondering if  anyone has any opinions about this tent or 
something 
similar in size and  price.



So, "The Boy" is carrying that house out on the trail?  Perhaps you  could 
get it to where it is going to be set up by splitting the parts among  those who 
will be benefiting from its use.  One person take some poles,  another the 
canvas, another the rope or line, another the stakes, etc., and  voila! There it 
is!
 
If people don't bring their own equipment they don't deserve shelter.   Of 
course, if you really want those people with you then your intentions MAY get  
them out on the trail but I suspect that they will wimp out on you and then you 
 will only have an emergency shelter for when the next hurricane comes 
roaring  through Florida.
