Big Agnes Rattlesnake SL mtnGLO Backpacking Tent Setup and Review - Recommended


​​One of my hunting buddies asked about what new tent he should get.  He didn't need a tent for the extreme winds and snow, but wanted a great tent that could handle a lot, plenty of room for him and his dog, lightweight and a great company to back it up with a warranty.  We settled on the Big Agnes Rattlesnake SL2 with MtnGlo.
