To my amazement, my wife has conceded to going camping again (campground camping not backpacking) now that her best friend and husband have been going so much of late. I only day hike and haven't bought a tent in more than 10 years so I'm totally out of the loop on preferred brands, features, ease of set up, etc. Can anyone recommend a decent tent brand or style to very comfortably fit two people and all their stuff, particularly with very good height (probably walk in height really) and ease of set up in the dark (with flashlights or headlights) under the impatient scrutiny of a "cranky supervisor" anxious to relax? My wife is an absolute grand master campfire cook, cocktail mixer and entertainer but not such a good sport with tent set up and sleeping on the ground and crawling out of a tent on her hands and knees (my "current" tent is a 4 season North Face tent that is very low to the ground and quite a challenge to limbo out under the vestibule in the morning). An affordable and comfortable tent that sets up and breaks down quickly would facilitate a lot more outdoor adventures for us (me!) so I'm highly motivated to find such a tent. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
