Firstly it is easy to put up when you follow the guide they send with it.... I tried to go gungho and do it without it didn't workout so great. 2nd. Both nights we camped it was 0 to -4 degrees with 25mph winds and between -15 to -20 wind chill values. I fired up my wood stove and kept it going I had no use for my sleeping bag until it got cold from me waking up needing to stroke my fire but even then it was still relatively warm in there and held up very well in the snow. I put snow around the skirt and bought a footprint for this all worked great.y stove pipe was glowing red hot at a couple of points and it didn't melt the tent but I also wrapped my stove pipe with heat exhaust tape to help mitigate that some. If the stove is in there and foot print you can fit 3 to 4 people if you position properly I bought the T1. Great tent love it great value definitely happy with it I did put it through some test no leakage anywhere there was no condensation at all on the inside it's not that heavy and it a great size. Overall I am super happy with it won't rip I put it under some good tension and so did the snow rain and wind. 10/10 would recommend.
