Appalachian Trail Gear Review Part 2 - Tents

This series of videos is a reflection of what I have learned about lightweight backpacking gear as a result of my Appalachian Trail thruhike. I filmed this to share my knowledge with the world, especially as so many people commented on my original upload, which can be found here:

I hope this becomes a useful resource for future thru-hikers.

Two person tent all the way for me. Also you hiked with your dog which is awesome! That must have been a huge morale booster to have your best friend with you :P I'm considering doing some AT in '12 and this was pretty informative.
