large family camping tents sale image
The Real S
In a matter of a few weeks with minimal foreign assistance we have taken people who were camped in tents and driven from one end of the island to the other by a terrorist organization and have them in structured housing

The ratio of men and women is very similar and children are being schooled, persons are receiving job training, former LTTE are going through programs to reintegrate into society, residual LTTE elements are being traced, families are being reunited.

I am pleased to hear that South Korea is so happy with their development model but Sri Lanka's development model is different and I do not believe that it will take 60 years for us to reach a 20K median income. South Korea as every sovereign nation has its own limits but they differ greatly with those of Sri Lanka. I truly enjoy the warm and gracious hospitality of your peoples from both the north and south when I have visited and find that your security forces are very well behaved and maintained. But we are not interested in becoming a little Japan though Japan also has its own charms but admittedly South Korea and North Korea would have been on a much quicker economic development trajectory if not for Japan. We are not so interested in back ending a stream when we are the gateway to the Orient. A few world wars does not change the history of our countries and we always look forward to occasional visits from our distant neighbors but our tropical perspective and cultural ties predicate much of what our growth and development streams are, have been and will continue to be. We will never a large chemical manufacturor for we are more environmentally concerned, we chose when and who develops hospitality on our island for we try to limit those things that conflict with the great and vast spiritual nature of our island. Ship building is not a stream that we need to proceed with in the short term for their are other matters that take precedence and we are well on the way to IT development, We are much more focused on clean industry such as assembly rather than dirty industries such as manufacture. We believe in saving our carbon credits and can possibly offer some for sale as that would be much more along the lines of our future view than creating large carbon expenditures. We would never erode the monuments of our culture and civilization as we have a preservationist mentality.

CHECK DRAFTS NOW GATES/RAJA
Rudukumar should understand that at the end of the year means at the end of 365 days of no violence, no lies and conjecture in the media, no economic terrorism, no fraud, no drug dealing, no arms running, no Selveraj Pathamathan. That year does not begin until the Tamil diaspora SINCERELY apologizes for 30+ years of terror and havoc wreaked on Sri Lanka through diaspora and foreign elements. It also means turning in for prosecution ALL parties that have been conducting such either at home or abroad. The Tamil diaspora is nowhere near step one. I suggest that these terrorists find another country to accomodate them because the Tamils that were born and live in Sri Lanka are Sri Lankans first and foremost. The most that you can attempt is to speak for 800,000 people who collectively terrorised every community including their own at home and abroad. That is not much to stand for so I suggest that you revise your LTTE leanings and give up KP, Castro et al. You are the discriminators not us

Please recommend an 8 or 10 person family tent for us!?
I am heartbroken. I was going to order the Columbia Cougar Flats 2 and now it has been discontinued.
Can anyone recommend a tent that would be big enough for me, my husband who is 6'4 tall, and 3 children? My youngest will be sleeping in a pack and play.
Would like a bathtub floor, good ventilation. A canopy over the front door would be a great bonus. I like the idea of divided rooms.
We are not camping anywhere very cold.. but would need something that will stand up to rain.
Thank you.
Answer
My current family tent would satisfy all of those preferences with the exception of the canopy over the door. However, the lacking canopy has proven to only be a problem when going in and out while it is actually raining, and...really...how much are you going to actually do that?
The straight vertical walls allow for more usable floorspace (especially for things like a pack-n-play), it has a hanging divider, and even two doors. The doors are excellent for camping with kids because they are a hard D-frame with a hinge and velcro, so the kids can easily go in and out without having to zip/unzip/zip/unzip. You can zip up the doors when you want/need to, but you don't have to do it every time.
Big windows on three sides and doors on the fourth side have rather large windows as well. The entire top is mesh. I've never had a problem in the wind and/or rain in this tent.
The tent is very tall (I'm 6'3" so that's a requirement for me as well), and hands-down the easiest tent to setup that I have ever owned. Not exaggering when I say that I can easily setup this tent in 15 minutes by myself, including all guylines. It's also just as easy to break down, and it's the only tent I've owned that actually folds up SMALLER than it came from the store, so you can actually fit additional accessories in the original storage bag in addition to the tent.
It's made by Coleman but only sold in Target stores. If there's not a store near you, they usually offer free shipping on something priced that high. I've seen it on sale as cheap as $150, but it's usually $185-200.
