Hi
I'm trying to find a lightweight tent I can go trekking with but it needs to be able fit my 3 kids in, who are all under 7 and 2 x dogs and occasionally my wife.
I'm going to be carrying most of the kit so nothing too heavy and will need to have a bell end to accommodate the dogs and kit in.
Any suggestions please?
TIA Alastair

This is backpackable, is a 4 man tent but with a doubling porch?

Do they do an extension for it and it looks as if it is inner up first?

Thank you for your suggestions. Think I prefer the idea of the outer up first and don't think the MSR is inner up first.

Any suggestions still appreciated please

No idea what your budget is but check out Vaude Mark XT 4P. It's a four season tent, pitches outer first and weighs 4800g.

Gonna struggle to hide that amount from the misses nowadays. She found my stash of cash, so it's become harder to hide the truth from about how much things actually cost 😆
