I love this tent. I have two other hot tents and they are both tee pee style tents. One is big enough to stand up in the middle around the center pole and the other one is very small. This tent has so much room that is useable. I camp with my kid and we put 2 full size cots in it and a table with the stove and have room to move around. You can use normal folding chairs and have about 18 inches over your head. I tool a clear shower curtain and cut to fit both windows so you can have windows that hold in the heat and see out side as well. Would recommend this tent. Read more
The media could not be loaded. Tent is very well made. It blends in well with the environment which is not necessary but nice. Once it is put up it is very sturdy even without the guy lines used. That being said it is ridiculously annoying to put up the first couple times. Placing the poles in the tent made me question if I was even doing it right. About the third time assembling it I guess it stretched out a bit and did not require superhuman strength. Went on my first winter camp and coupled with a stove it kept the tent in the 70's with the outside temperature in the single digits. So far very happy with this purchase. Read more
Really enjoyed this tent. The design creates large amounts of interior space and being a tunnel tent is good in high winds. Setup is easy and straightforward. Has 2 large zippered windows and 2 protected vents above them to allow good airflow. Quality looks good and seam taping all around. Benefit of 2 large side doors that can be opened and used as awnings in good weather. Stove jack completes the tent for use in the winter months with a wood burning stove. Excellent tent for the money. Read more
I had a chance to use this during a decent rain storm that had about 30mph gusts with it and it held up great, which is not surprising with how solid this tent is. There are a few things that help this tent be so solid. The first is the amount of stakes you can use around the perimeter of the tent, 10 in total. Then you have 6 guy lines, 2 on each side and one on each end. The two tent poles that go through the middle are a decently thick aluminum as well. All of this adds up to probably one of the most sturdy tents I've used. When the gusts came through there was minimal flexing of the poles and the draft under the bottom of the tent was also minimal. Around the inside perimeter of the tent, with the exception of the doors, there is about 4in of material that looks like a snow skirt, but on the inside of the tent. At first this didn't make sense to me, sure it would cut down on drafts but why not have it on the outside so it would be more useful. Then I noticed that they had cilps in each of the 8 corners and that's when I realized at some point OneTigris is going to sell a floor for the tent and the material would overlap quite nicely with how the perimeter is done on the inside. For those that don't want to sleep directly on the ground or in a cot this will be a good option because unless you are on a cot you will most likely get wet if it rains, which is not a fault of a tent, it's the reality of this style of tent. There is about a 1in gap under each side door of the tent and when it rains water will come in. With the rain we received it was under a 1/4in in about 5 hours and the water came about a foot in on each side. Not a big deal though because I was sleeping on a cot and by the time I woke up in the morning the ground was pretty dry. This does bring up a big advantage of this tent when compared to other tents that have floors. With tents that have floors it's always annoying when you get rain, or when it's colder and you build up condensation on the underside of your tent floor. You have to spend time to dry it, either at the site or once you get home, or risk a stink tent next time you use it. With this tent since there's no floor and the outside is a darker material, so it drys quickly and can be packed away without needing to dry it later. When it comes to packing, both packing and unpacking are easy thanks to sack that comes with the tent, which has a wide opening and a little bit of additional room in the bag so you don't have to pack it away perfectly. The hardware on this tent and it's construction is pretty standard with a few exceptions. The tensioners on the guy lines are basic plastic tensioners. However, the zippers are nicer, they are a water resistant YKK zipper that do a great job keeping water out. They are a little harder to move but you can always use some zipper lube if you wanted. The seams on the inside of the tent are sealed well and there were only a couple of threads that needed to be trimmed. With how solid this tent is there are 6 loops, 3 on each side of the main area lengthwise, attached to reinforced points in the tents ceiling. You could run cordage between these to create clothes lines to dry clothes if you were using this in the winter with a stove. The arms of the two vents on the side are not flimsy pieces of plastic, like what you would get on less expensive tents, thankfully these feel more solid and do a good job of holding open the side vents when they are needed. Unfortunately the only two windows are on the same side of the tent. So if you wanted to use this in warmer months you are not going to get a good cross breeze if you need on to keep cool. This is definitely a cold weather tent though, but it would be nice if there were more times of year it could be used. Overall I think this is a really good tent, that given patience in setting it up, will reward you with a very stable and protective shelter that would be perfect for hunters and those that like to rough it a little bit more.
