I don't know if tent costs are comparable, but the price of a new two person summer-weight tent here is pretty low. Low enough, if you go for one of the el-cheapo Walmart versions, that I'd prefer buying a new one over sleeping in one missing parts and still smelling like 1999. Another option here is renting a very nice tent from a mountaineering store, which I have done

I also thumbs up the air pads. If nothing else, it cuts down on the cold from the ground; you don't think it's possible for the ground to put out that much cold but it DOES. We used to have these amazing little cots that were SO COMFY to sleep on, but fit into a teenytiny yoga bag size like bag, but the weave on them must have been very open(?) because I remember chattering in freezy death the first night and then being just peachy the next, where the only different was a ratty old sheet on the bottom.

Ha ha, you should hear the things she's been doing. It's gone something like this:

Me: We're going camping? In Sept? Isn't it cold in Sept?
Dark: Not that cold!
Me: You do realize who you're talking to, right?
Dark: ...

*several weeks later*
Dark: Okay, I've got four sleeping bags, two duvets, five thermal heaters good down to minus twenty, and nine hundred sweaters!
Me: That might be enough... >.>

*grins*

Hey, it was only eight-hundred sweaters. I'm not completely mad.
