Our Homes - Facts

Sandy and I search multiple tent manufacturers before we settled on the Nemi Losi 3 Tent from REI. We wanted tents with sturdy construction and of course, tents that were easy to put up and take down since that may have to be done suddenly if severe storms are threatening. We also wanted two exits, not one so that if it is rainig hard from one direction we could get out the other door. Large vestibules on each door are important so that we can place our bags under them without bringing the bags in the tents. The tents are well ventilated with screening but have "flies" that completely cover the netting to protect us from the elements of wind and rain.
Inside temps of the tents can be as warm as 10 to 15 degrees more than outside temps which is great on cold nights, but a problem on hot nights. Our plans are to move our tents farther away from others on the hot and clear nights and not use the fly covers.
The tents are tall enough inside so that we can sit up and are largew enough for us to move about easily in each tent.
