	Hi Bushman. I have an msr hubba hubba and can say im real happy with it. I've used it several times above the bushline in wind & rain and havn't had it collapse or leak. another plus is you can leave the inner/floor behind and just take the outer as a fly. Only small gripe I have is they condensate inside a bit. Hope this helps

	I think that MSR are too expensive in NZ, and lots of retailers in the US aren't allowed to send MSR to NZ (I tried). Here are a couple of alternative light weights that I have my eye on that are way cheaper. http://www.altrec.com/mountain-hardwear/stiletto-1-tent http://www.springfield-camping.co.uk/Force+Ten/Helium+200+2009/188/pc

	I got an MSR Hubba Hubba HP out of the states from a non retailer seller off e-bay for $350 AU just took awhile to find one thats all, retailers can't send them out, same goes for a lot of other products as well. It's all about under cutting retailers in other countries. All tents have condensate problems at times

	Keep your barrel clean and your powder dry

	Try pricing one through Richard Wilhelm at Wilhelm arms and optics in Christchurch. He does not stock them but can get them through Ampro and does a great deal. E-bay is the other option Macpac make some great tents and of good value too.

Yes definitely, though I would class my self as an ultra light hunter, all my gear for 5 days including tent into a 50L pack, so I don’t take lots of gear. But the small vestibule at the back holds the non essentials and the vestibule at the front holds the essentials... I would have gone for a bivvy bag but I like the idea of a tent in bad weather, you can sit up in the MSR Hubber, stoked with its performance...

	I had the one man hubba but found it too small for my liking,might pay to have a look at one first.Managed to get a hubba hubba hp from the states a while ago when the store had 35% off .

	I have a hubba 1 man for the reason they have heaps of room for a one man tent and you can sit up in them, they are very good after trying a couple of one man tents I would never change, I have photos somewhere if you want them just let me no and I will find them. Also if you want one get a price and let me no I may be able to get one cheaper

	If Fairydown are still making tents, then they are worth a look. I got their top of the range model a few years ago (forget what its called) - weighs 3kg inc. poles and fits two people + gear in the vestibule.

	For some of us, the call to hunt is deep in our genes. It's there, and those that don't have it will never know the deep and profound impact is has upon those of us who do. Keith Draper.
