I bought this tent for a 3-week round-trip camping journey spanning 20 states, from Florida to California and back to Florida. Initially, it worked great and was quite easy to set up and take down. The ease of use improves with practice. However, I encountered significant issues when it started raining. The condensation problem, which was mentioned in the product details, turned out to be extreme. During rainy nights, the tent walls were covered in water, and it wasn't clear if it was leaking or just heavy condensation. I had to get up multiple times during the night to wipe down the tent as water dripped from the ceiling onto my sleeping area. On the positive side, the tent is very spacious. I could fit a full-sized blow-up mattress inside and still had about a foot of space on either side for storage. While the roof isn't the sturdiest, it does have a spot where you can hang small items, such as a light, though it does cause a bit of sagging. Folding the tent up becomes easier with a bit of practice, but it's best to do it over grass or a clean surface to avoid picking up excess dirt, which tends to stick around until your next use. Despite its issues with rain and condensation, the tent held up well in high winds, which was impressive. Overall, this tent is good for dry conditions and offers plenty of space and ease of use. However, be prepared for potential condensation issues in rainy or humid environments. *Note: The product description does warn about possible condensation issues in areas with large temperature differences, such as mountaintops.*

The12 inch long, 2/5 inch diameter hook is 3.3 inches long. 16 Pack of rebar are suitable for many applications. The hook is nice and long and will keep the rebar held down really well. I am going to use some of mine to hold my chicken tunnel in place. Rightnow I am using earth staples and while they hold the tunnel down I do not think they will prevent a predator from ripping the tunnel from the ground. We get some pretty fierce winds here in eastern NC in the summer storms and this rebar will be a big help in securing different things in my garden, like the netted trellis I use for squash and cuucmbers. Highly recommend!

This tent works great as a shower, changing room, or for that unmentionable other need. The large version is a good size for a bigger or tall person; but not ideal for two medium size folks trying to conserve water. The hook on the inside at the top of the tent is a great place for a carabiner mounted light, however it did not hold or secure our shower head. Set up time is minimal, maybe 5+ minutes; depending on whether you want to stake yours down. Breakdown is just as simple or intricate, depending on your glass of water. If you choose to stake yours down, setup or assess where you will be mounting your shower system and be mindful that you have the neccesary slack in your shower head hose. Post camp clean up was determined to be easier by setting it up at home and hosing it off. We opted not to use the rainfly due to the gorgeous sky views, however this created an additional place for firewood ash to gather resulting in a more thorough cleaning. A general notion to keep in mind if you are camping in a forest that has been under drought conditions for a prolonged period of time, SPIDERS! Oh they love to climb up this water spout of a tent, for sure!

The bottom has ripped after 1 45 minute use on grass. resulting in not being able to fold up correctly and store in the carry case. Do not buy!
