New Tent

For those who read our random blog when we actually update it, you may remember us telling about our adventure in Coyote Gulch where our brand new tent got demolished by a wicked storm, wind, rain, snow, everything you can possibly imagine. We have been wanting a new tent, but a NICE one, that would hold up in that kind of weather. We have been looking at black diamond, mountain hardwear, marmot, and a few other mountain brands that we love. But those tents are so expensive! We're talking $400+ for a small, 2 person 3 season tent. Are they worth that much money? Defnitely. If we were rich, we would have gotten one a LONG time ago. But we're not spilling money out of our pockets quite yet :) However, we DID find a tent last week! A nice Marmot tent for our backpacking adventures. We are in love. We got the Marmot Crib 2P 3Season tent with footprint for half the price! We were so excited! We love shopping on www.steepandcheap.com For those who don't know, it is a website with daily deals...or more deals by the minute? It is sweet. They will put up a product at an awesome price for a certain amount of time and with limited stock. You can purchase until the time is up or the product is sold out. steep and cheap is more sports and outdoor gear, but there are many other deal of the day websites you can visit by going to www.dodtracker.com
. Well, back to our tent. It has welded seams so water/rain will not leak through, and so much more. We can't wait to use it!

Yay for a new tent! I love that you guys set it up inside. I would totally do that.

Also, Kyle and I love steep and cheap as well. We've bought a few things from them. They often have great deals!
