My 10-year-old tent finally failed, the new one is a different animal

I used the same $60 dome tent from Target for a decade, it survived everything from beach storms to mountain nights. Last month the poles snapped in a normal breeze at Yosemite, so I picked up a $180 trekking pole tent on a sale. The weight difference alone is 4 pounds less, but the real shift is how the poles set tension. Has anyone else hit that wall where old gear just gives out and forces an upgrade?

Yep, ten years is a good run for sixty bucks.
