I usually camp in a hammock or a bivy tent, but I took the 2-man to Alaska because I figured there would be a shortage of trees for the hammock and I might be kept inside due to weather for a day or two. It was a good call, but I found cabins were so cheap in Alaska and BC that I often spent the $12-20 for the extra comfort and WiFi access. Spoiled, I know, but when a campsite is $8 and a cabin is $12 I can't justify saving the $4 when it's cold and raining.T.W.

I am guessing with a week until you leave, you are going through the "Do I really need to take this?" questions.

It may have darkened them a bit but that's ok. I prefer happy and dry over new looking camping gear any time. I've never tried the Nikwax products, but they look interesting.
