    I only started hiking and backpacking in 2021 so I have little to no gear and this tent would be an awesome kick start into getting gear and starting overnight hikes. I’ve also been really wanting to try MEC gear so hopefully I have some luck an am able to win the tent. Thank you for the opportunity and the quality content!🤞

    Oh my! this is such perfect timing. My 14 year old son and I want to begin backpacking to bond in these final years before he's 18 and this tent would make it capable for us to do that together. We would definitely use it many amazing places, but first, we would take it to the San Gorgonio mountains in Southern California. Already a sub, now liked and commented. Best of luck to the winner!
