A friend of mine is looking into purchasing a solo tent. The person doesn't do much backpacking, but does canoe trip, so weight is less of an issue. Any suggestions on brands and where to buy? Thanks in advance. Fitz.

Can anyone tell me what this plant/flower is? It bloomed in mid-July and is very fragrant. Not lustrife.
