Backpacking/Camping above treeline question on tents
Post Body

Looking to get into backpacking/camping this year and have a spot reserved in the Boulderfield for Longs Peak in August. I'm looking for some insight on a tent and any other gear recommendations you might have. Ideally hoping to get into backpacking and camping above tree-line in areas like Yankee Boy Basin, for example, in summer and fall; will a 3-season tent be sufficient for possible winds above tree-line or should I be looking into a more serious 4-season tent even though I don't plan to do camping in winter conditions anytime soon. Any suggestions and tips greatly appreciated. Definitely plan to get some practice trips and comfortability and figure out my gear before I start doing it in the alpine.
