That moment a guy named Dave at REI told me my tent was too small for my needs
Last summer I walked into REI in Boulder looking for a new tent. I had my eye on a two person model, figured it'd be light and easy. This older guy Dave came over and asked what I was using it for. I said solo trips, maybe four or five nights at a time. He just looked at me and said "you'll hate that tent by day two." He spent the next ten minutes showing me how my gear and a wet pack would crowd me out. He was right. I bought a three person model instead and it was the best camping decision I ever made. Anyone else had a store employee give you advice that saved you a headache?
