New pack arrived today and it's SO much nicer. Still a Millet. Tons of room now even with my tent, poles, sleeping bag and pad with plenty of room for the rest of my gear. I am a happy camper, literally...lol...now one of my dilemmas is whether to send the smaller pack back or keep for a day/overnight bag when I can get by without packing the full tent. That brings up dilemma two, keep the REI tent or try a Six Moon Designs tent which should pack smaller, weighs half what the REI tent does, and no poles which is nice. I carry two trekking poles anyways so it works out perfect.

I do have another tent packing question though...I have read the debate between folding, rolling, and stuffing. My question is...no mater how I get the tent in the sack, is there any problem using a compression sack with a tent? I can squish my current tent to nearly half the size so that is why I ask whether it would be ok to use the compression sack or not.
