Default Coleman vs. Greatland...

I would guess this Coleman tent from Costco is much better than the Greatland tent from Target. Here's a link to the Coleman.

Here's the link to the Greatland.

The Greatland actually looks cooler than that picture, and I really like the fact that it has a storage/dining/whatever enclosed netted room attached tot he main tent.

I think I'm going to take back the Greatland and buy the Coleman. What do you experienced campers think?

I bought a Swiss Army tent from Costco, and it's proven to be very durable. My sister borrowed it and put it through all kinds of abuse and it's still in great shape.

A real man would sleep under the stars, but if he absolutely had to have shelter, he would build a lean-to.
