Customers say

Customers like the ease of set up of the tent. They mention it's easy to setup all by yourself, it goes up very quickly and easily, and it'll hold up to Alaskan weather. They appreciate the space, weight, and durability of the product. They say it has enough room for two, has pockets to hold stuff, and has enough head room to sit up without hitting the top. Customers are also satisfied with the water resistance of the camping tent.

Customers like the space of the tent. For example, they mention it's very roomy, has enough head room to sit up without hitting the top, has pockets to hold stuff, and has many loops to hang stuff. That said, some say it'd be a great addition to have a larger footprint.

My 11 year old boy scout son and I used this twice last summer, once with one of his friends and once with just us two. Both times, there was plenty of room for us laying long ways. With three people, my son in the middle, there was still plenty of room. Additionally, with two people, you both have your own door in and out. This is very easy to set up and take down, once you've practiced. It's light enough to be carried long distances; although, we only hiked in five miles both times, but with a 2000 foot elevation gain from the trailhead near Trinity Center, CA to the lake. If you don't buy this you're stupid or not thinking straight or broke or all three. The $300 is well worth the money. A tent of this calibre would have been closer the $1000 ten years ago if it were available at all.
