Hi All

I would appreciate your thoughts and feedback on the Marmot Lair 8P as a roomy, quality dining tent for 8 clients trekking on Kilimanjaro.

If anyone can offer a better solution than the Marmot Lair 8P then I would be keen to hear your opinions

Also what would be a good solution if there were more than 8 clients. Use two tents or a bigger expedition tent? Brand ideas?

I was in the Ruth Gorge a number of years back and a French team had a North Face tent that was pretty darn cool. I was made of yellow haul bag material and was configured like an old canvas army tent; vertical side walls supported by vertical aluminum tubes (perhaps 1.5 inches in diameter) with a pitched roof. It was large enough to hold two folding card tables, folding chairs, a sterio system with enough room to walk around in. I thought it was called a 3 meter tent or some such thing.
