[pct-l] Tents

[Lisa Freathy]

I recently got the B.A Flycreek 1 for my 2011 thru. I have not yet been on the 
PCT and have only used 2 times (once in the rain), but I like it. I'm 5'4" and 
it is plenty long for me, however my head just brushes the top so somebody 
taller would not be able to sit all the way up. I also had to get used to the 
idea of needing to stake out the back two corners (as the center pole only meets 
at one point on the back in the middle) but I have played with it a couple of 
times and don't mind that as much any longer. As I had read in other reviews, 
the water does spill right off the rain fly onto your head when opening in the 
rain which is annoying. But it is lightweight (for a tent), great view of the 
sky w/out fly or even just w/fly door open, easy to set up and packs down very 
small (for a tent). 

I'll find out soon if it is a good option for the PCT!

Happy Hiking!

I am currently in the market for a new light weight shelter.  I am almost
certain I want a full on tent with poles.  I am looking at the Big Agnes Fly
Creek UL 1.  Does anyone have experience with this on the PCT or
recommendations for a better all around option?
