   For the price, it’s hard to beat this little backpacking tent. It has features that tents twice this price have. It’s a little bit heavier than the ultralight tents, since it’s 5 lbs, but not everyone is doing thru hikes and this is perfect for Scouts, backpacking, etc, anyone who wants a good budget tent. It has the older x-style tent pole system, whereas the newer ultralight versions use kind of an all one piece capital “I” system, but it’s just a small bit trickier to set up. Meaning you the the poles in an 4 corners, then stand them up and tie them together with the center of the tent. It’s actually more sturdy this way, in my opinion. Speaking of sturdy, there’s also ties on the inside of the fly to secure the whole structure, which is a little overkill, but welcome in high winds. There’s 4 guy lines, one for each corner. They’re not needed if you don’t have wind. You get 12 lightweight stakes which is exactly how many you need, unless you want to put a ground cover, aka footprint underneath. You’ll need 4 more stakes to do that, but chances are if you know about footprints, you have extra stakes hanging around. I do recommend a footprint because everything is pretty thin to save weight, and why wear out the bottom of your tent when a footprint is about a half pound more. Just cut a sheet of Tyvek and use that. That’s what’s in my pictures, under the tent. The size is generous for one person at 53″ wide and 82″ long, as I measure it. You could fit two sleep pads in there if you wish and keep your gear in the vestibules. The vestibules have two doors: One double zipper that you can use trekking poles to stretch out like an awning, or a single zipper traditional door on the other side. Both doors have ways to roll them up and secure them out of the way. The vents up top are a little small but there’s a stiff piece of material to prop them open. There’s a generous amount of space around the outside edge of the fly to let air come in from ground level. The tub isn’t very high, so if you get a breeze, you should be able to feel it when laying down. You’d have to be in a pretty strong downpour with wind to get splattered. Everything packs down to a pretty small size. The tent can stand all on its own if you wanted with zero stakes. And technically, you could pitch the fly first and then raise the actual trend walls of you really needed to set up in the rain and wanted to reduce the amount of water inside. It wouldn’t be easy but could be done. Rain rolls right off the fly. I do recommend this tent. It’s a great stair step if you want to venture into the ultralight backpacking world.
