    Re: Buying a tent - should I go Mac-crap?

      If you get something lighter than a minaret your probably getting something that wont stand up to the uv we get in New Zealand.   If you plan to use it mostly in New Zealand I would buy a tent designed for the conditions here.   It might not be the lightest tent but it is the best tent you can get for the conditions here.   Though also buy a 2 man dome tent from The Wharehouse for summer camping and trips to the bay etc.   No point pitching a Minaret for a week in the sun then trying to get in and out and have enough room when a better tent for such things can be got for less than $50.  And you Minaret will last twice as long too.
