Once upon a time, I had found a magical tent within the depts of my favorite thrift store, some unfortunate soul had foolishly relinquished a glorious Eureka Solitaire to the hands of the good people at Island Thrift. I was fortunate enough to score this beauty and put her to work. This tent was awesome, It endured heavy rains, harsh winds, and the stumbling of children! This $17 was more then I could ever dream of and I would highly recommend it to any adventure. Sadly mine retired after I broke a pole during a Youth Adventures trip.
The going price is $80 and I have posted a nice affiliate link below for you.
