The tent is MSR (Mountain Safety Research) Zoid 2. I purchased mine from MEC. It's a GREAT tent. It kept me dry in torrential down pours, and handled the strong winds without an issue. The only down side to it is that it requires being pegged. It is not free standing. Thus you must carry a hammer and pick appropriate spots. A hammer was something I carried in my tool kit any ways. The Zoid 2 is of the fast and light group, it is being discontinued now but is still available now at mec.ca for $205 (Canada shipping only).

I got that question a lot from people. I do not have a problem at all being by myself for a long time (just me and tons of mp3s). While I definitely prefer to travel with someone it's just to hard to find someone who can get the time off at the same time and who also moves at the same pace. As for being outgoing.... No :p I am not a big talker who meets new people easily.

The compressor is made my Slime - the power sport model. You should be able to order it at any bike shop or many auto parts stores. I know Walmart carries the brand as well. Amazon sells it for $27.01. It uses the standard battery tender plugs. It also comes with those plugs to wire it to your bike in case you don't already have them. Its a bargain for sure!
