Well made, worth the price
I ordered this tent with low expectations. I've never had a tent live up to the description. This blew all previous tents out of the water. It's multipurpose, floorless, with two stove pipe jacks/openings that have rain covers if you aren't using them. The jacks are both in one corner of the tent. The tent has two openings on opposite sides to accommodate hammock ropes. There are three zipper mechanisms on each zipper. Two to allow a small opening depending on the height of your hammock ropes/straps, and a third that zips the rest of it closed. I used it for the first time on a camping trip on the Shenandoah river in March '21. It was extremely windy. I used two extra hammock straps to hang the tent between two trees. There are multiple stake loops along the bottom and top of the walls of the tent. I initially thought I'd just use the ropes and stakes to stabilize the tent. That didn't work. I collected four tree branches and used those to stabilize the four tent corners and tied ropes to the branches and staked those out. That stretched out the wrinkles and kept the rain from accumulating on the roof. There were no leaks. I used the top tent jack as I had an oven attachment I was testing out. I did end up getting a tree limb and bracing it between the stove pipe and tent. Otherwise the tent gets uncomfortably close to the pipe wall. The next morning, I looked at the ceiling and wall around the stove and the only thing I noticed was some discoloration where the dew had mixed with the creosote. My only issue is it's impossible to get the tent back into the bag it comes with. I ended up stuffing it into a compression sack till I got home. The stakes that come with the tent are light weight. There aren't enough of them if you are staking out the tent properly. I ended up using 22 stakes/sticks. It is a multipurpose tent. I went and got two adjustable tent poles, and six adjustable shorter poles. Using those, you can stake the tent out like a normal tent if you use enough ropes. Using it with a hammock, it fits one person. Using it with cots or sleeping pads, you could likely fit three people in it. Four if you cuddle. I'm five foot five inches. I can stand and not have to duck when entering the tent in the hammock configuration. I love that part. I'm looking for a tent footprint, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been made yet for this tent. Over all, I'd buy the tent again. I would like to see it come with a larger bag and bigger/more tent stakes. Read more
