We have not used it much -which did not keep the tent stakes from disappearing- but we have a big White Stag canvas tent. It encourages one to explore the outdoors because it gets so stifling inside and I suppose that's good. We have little other equipment left but can't seem to give up our tent. Reading the posts make me want to to camp again. Guess it's time to cure that by re-reading Bryson's
A Walk in the Woods.
