Redkow97 is right. I've had a few tents over the years, and the cheap ones you get at Walmart, Kmart and Target are just that, Cheap! The last one I got at Walmart for a motorcycle trip was wet inside the next morning from the dew! Defiantly get you a tarp if you get one of the cheap ones. I picked up a 2 man tent over the winter on craigslist. Its one that is rated for 4 season and mountain climbing! Small, light, and full weather resistant. Its a $400 tent new. The guy bought it and only used it 4 times over a couple years. I got it for $65.
