Our Backpacking Trips

i made an impulse buy yesterday. i mean normally this wouldnt have been an impulsive buy if i wasnt borke i had a job but i seriously couldnt pass up this deal. i bought my very own backpacking tent! even though our crew doesnt lack on the tents or anything but i’ve been wanting my very own dome forever. so this is what i got: the north face tephra 22

its 4 lbs and 11 oz. thats pretty light!! its for 2 ppl and i’m loving the 2 pole design. on top of everything its free standing. i got it off of steepandcheap - one deal at a time, until it sells out. i got it for $75 bucks… plus $10 for shipping because SAC never offers free shipping. which is still a pretty good deal in my opinion. now i have my very own tent!!

i still havent found the footprint for this tent yet. the model i purchased is 2007′s model, from information that i’ve gathered on other websites i’ve learned that the new footprint (2008 model) for the tephra doesnt fit the old model (2007′s, my model) due to a redesign. i cant find the 2007 tephra footprint anywhere!!! augh. so this is a problem… HALP!
