I was going to get it from REI because I had a 15% off coupon. The tent is $399 at REI so it would have been $340. I looked online and founf the other site. The tent was $246 and shipping was $40 (I got a gear loft and the optional vestibule too). They have a bunch of nice tents...the sleeping bags are kind of limited.
Highly recommend the site above. My tent arrived in a rather quick 5 days (to Alaska...it usually takes a week or so). Great prices...check them out. I was planning on camping this weekend, but Mother Nature decided to drop a bunch of snow on us again....not fair I was in shorts / t-shirt enjoying 50 degrees 2 days ago!
