I have pretty much 4 of every type of gear. Interested in buying?

I do too. See above rave/rant.

I do want to get a new 2-man backpacking tent. Mine practically rains on the inside, with all the condensation it collects.

Is it a single wall tent? They usually have condensation issues.

It is. This particular one is really bad though. It's an Eureka Exo 2. I wish I had read more reviews before I bought it (a few years ago).

Shame, because it's pretty good besides that. Light and compact. Nice setup.

I was thinking about buying that tent until I read the reviews. Take a look instead at the Eureka Backcountry (I have the solo version; they make a 2 person version). The Big Agnes Seedhouse is a nice 2-man, 3-season tent that is as light as most single walls. It is basically mesh with a big fly. You can also check out Henry Shires' Tarptent designs, which are incredibly light and reasonably ventilated, though in cold weather you'd want a really warm bag.

This thread inspired me to pitch my own tent, especially the really warm bag comment.

Ever see Mt Fuji?

The Big Agnes Seedhouse

What a name for a tent.
