The tent is huge - which means it has a large footprint and only packs down to the size of a large duffel bag. It has two vestibules, one of which is large enough to take off wet gear, while staying dry, which is really nice for camping in wet places. The Tensleep also has two doors, which was a must have for me. This tent is big enough for us to stretch out, have our clothing bags inside with us, and have room to spare. We're both tall people (I'm 5'11", he's 6'3"), and a two person tent is not made for two people our size. We have the Big Agnes Tensleep Station 4, a four person tent. Tent: During this trip, I joked to Greyson, "This is how people end up buying motorhomes, isn't it?" I was referring to our huge, luxurious tent. I have the Sea To Summit Expander Travel Liner. I finally got a sleeping bag liner, which was really nice for variable temperatures and keeping my sleeping bag from getting super gross when we went a long time without showering. A camping pillow is never going to be as supportive as a regular pillow, but this one is pretty good. For a pillow, I got the NEMO Fillo backpacking pillow. This sleeping pad is wide, warm, cushy, quiet and not crinkly, and easy to inflate with the integrated foot pump. The biggest wedding present upgrade was the Nemo Cosmo Insulated sleeping pad. This has all the advantages of down (fluffy, very packable) with the advantages of synthetic (can keep you warm even if it gets a little wet). I've had my sleeping bag, the Sierra Designs Zissou Sleeping Bag, which has Dridown, a water repellant down filling. Sleeping Set Up: Your sleeping set up is one of the most critical parts of an enjoyable camping road trip. When you're on the road for a month, nice gear makes a big difference. We registered at REI for our wedding, and our generous friends and family helped us really upgrade our camping set up. Our amazing wedding gifts, plus some big upgrades we've made over the past few years meant that our car camping set up is pretty luxurious. I mentioned that Greyson and I got married this summer, and our Ultimate Mountain Bike Road Trip was how we celebrated our honeymoon.
