I have a Torre and it is bomber. Vestibule is part of the tent. Not an attachment.

29 days in the park. 32 home to home. I would not go for less, weathers just too variable and the approach/exit eats up days. Supposedly July is drier than August, but after a week-plus of rain we arrived at tideline on the 1st of August to endless blue sky as we exited the park. Doing it again I’d go 2nd week of July till as long as I could stay. We had food and gear cached in early April by snowmobile. Saved a lot of energy and time. Then did double carries out. Following is rough conversion to USD. Plane tickets are spendy. $1800 each. Shipping 150 lbs of gear via Canada Post was $600. Cached gear was $1200 total. Boat rides about $650. Park fees about $175 each. So say $3.3k. USD each. You can camp for free on the outskirts of Pangnirtung, which we did in the way in, or stay at Fjordview B&B for about $160 USD each which we did on the way out. The final leg of the flight from Iqaluit to Pangnirtung is frequently cancelled due to winds or low visibility. Which could get you stranded in one town or the other for multiple days. No camping in Iqaluit so be prepared to shell out for hotel rooms on the way in. Or to not get home on a schedule. It was bittersweet to exit during a great weather window but it did mean our flights weren’t cancelled. cost of living is crazy expensive in Baffin. A can of beans was $7. Once I converted everything’s price to “cans of beans” it seemed more reasonable. And bugs were non existent to minimal! Worse on warm, still days but hopefully you’re high in the mountains then.
