Good luck in finding one and, if all else fails, I hope that next year's colour scheme is not too far off.


Good news.  It looks like the colour scheme for next year's Minnesota is unchanged, which suggests that next year's extension will match your tent.

But boy, the prices HAVE gone up.

Hi all, joining in a bit late here.

I followed your link, Former Scout, and must say I love the Minny 4 for the two of us but wouldn't like to have a "small family" in it, as they suggest in the blurb.

We got the extension last year and although we managed only one outing before packing up for the winter, it was worth every penny. It made such a difference to have all cooking gear out there and have the "sitting room" to lounge around in.

I've slept 3 and 4 in the Minny.  Certainly with four you have to disciplined (bags in the living area at night and back in the pods during the day) but it's not too claustrophobic.  Perhaps it is easier for us as we have a large kitchen tent so all that is inside the Minny is personal items, clothing, etc.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm very happy for you John, and also, obviously, jealous!

I've just sent outdoormegastore an email to see if they can rustle up an extra one for me...fingers crossed!

I'm sad our little ninja gang didn't get off the ground though, I'll have to recruit more members and then we'll come and nick yours!

We love our Minnies, we do,
We love our Minnies, we do,
When we camp in you, we're not blue,
Ohhhhhh, Minnesota 4 (with ectensions) we love Yoooooouuuuuu!!!!!!
