> Sorry to do this, but... as catchy as "the best" sounds, it's difficult to define that. Are you looking for a sturdier tent or lighter instead? Do you want a free standing tent? Planning to use it in windier conditions: winter, higher altitude, etc? One entrance or two? Big porch?
> It's just so frustratingly hard to define best overall as what's best for one could be the worst for another! I have went through phases of what's the best rucksack and it's amazing how the preferences differ over the years.
No worries. I was looking for recommendations as, of course, best will be in the eye of the user (with a strong post-justification bias). So if folk say "I have this and it's great", I'll take a look and see if it might be great for me.
