At first I didn't like these. I had gotten spoiled by a much more expensive brand. Initially, I thought these would not unscrew out of the ground, and would just spin in place. However, I was using them in my yard where the soil is very sandy and loose, so they couldn't really bite to unscrew. I tried them again at a local park with more established soil and they worked much better because they could bite into the ground. One of the screws did require me to pull up slightly while unscrewing, but that's not a big deal. They aren't perfect, but considering the price and considering they hold very well, even in mostly sandy soil, I'd say that are an excellent value and I would recommend them.

This tent is incredibly lite weight with fantastic water repellant technology, it offers a unique and practical design with loads of small details like a bathtub style floor, 2 functional vestibules, additional lash points for alternate securing methods, great ventilation, compression bag feature etc I recommend this 1P tent due to its efficiency in the backcountry as well the tent construction, quality and price point!

if it is windy this is not possible to set up
UPDATE ON PREVIOUS REVIEW
This item is overpriced for the value of item you get. The material of the shade and sand bag is great, everything else is mediocre, the sand shovel broke at the handle on the second use, today at it 4 th use the whole thing collapsed on my once the wind picked up, and the stake is now scraped in side so you can’t put it together anymore to use. And customer support wants pictures of your setup before they consider working with your return or refund..
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND LOOK FOR SOMETHING ELSE..

Had this in my cue for a while and when the price dropped I scooped it up. And Boy, glad I did! Great tent, very easy set-up and seems to be of very high quality. I already have the "Backwood Bungalow" and am also very happy with that tent. This tent comes in a couple pounds heavier (at just over 5 lbs) but seems to be pretty storm proof and I would have no issues taking it on my winter camps. Was plenty of room for myself and my dog. But may be a bit cramped for 2 large adult humans. Have not had a chance to test for water tightness yet but by all accounts it passes the test there too as well. Got it on sale for 157.00 but the normal 200.00 price is still a decent deal. Just watch for sales.....

works great and I had to watch a you-tube video to learn how to fold it back for storage but I can do that in 30 seconds now that I know the trick.

My Grandson is on a College track team and last year we set and watched in wet windy weather, not to mention the bugs . Not this coming year we will set in it out of the elements and bugs and watch him compete comfortably. Light and easy to set up.
