Material is great, ordered 3 yards, came in 1 yard chunks so it won’t work for the application or have a seam in the middle of the couch

I bought this on my quest to lighten up my pack a little and because, let’s face it, poles break. I can and did set this tent up with only using parachute cord, the poles weren’t even necessary. I do recommend setting it up before you go on your trip. You may find you like it better with trecking poles. The poles just made it more ridged, took all the wrinkles out, but if you don’t mind wrinkles in the fabric you can use a ridge line. The front will zip closed and open like an awning. You can use rope if you have plenty of trees around or you can use trecking poles. My issue with tents has been poles and packability as I try using a smaller pack and try to lose pack weight. This shelter packs up small, the stuff sack is generous meaning the tent can quickly be stuffed away. Plenty of ventilation and screening. Love tarp camping, but warmer months bugs make it a little harder to get sleep, and most bivey tents are too small. This will keep bugs at bay, has enough room for myself and gear to be covered and stay dry, and I can hastily set it up with only a ridge line if I had to. So far it’s the one I’m using from now on

The tent is a good quality car camping tent for the price. However the bag is too small to put the tent away easily. I would recommend that you find a slightly larger bag - be a duffel or compression if you want to pack up camp without hassle. I will update the review after I go camping with it in August for three weeks out to Yellowstone and the Black Hills.

Edit : 8/25/2018 - After taking it camping for three weeks here are my thoughts. The rainfly is a condensation magnet no matter how well you ventilate it and the clips that are supposed to hold two poles together tend to not work well as there is nothing to keep the second pole from popping out of place - I would suggest a carabeener style clip if the company ever updates the tent. The mesh is already showing some small holes caused by the clips when rolled up and put away as they press into the mesh panels, and some stitching is coming undone on those panels where they meet the tent fabric as well. The fly is abit of a hassle to put on when you are by your self as it is large and heavy. All that being said it survived the Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. I will use it till it falls apart on me, at that time it will be replaced with a much better tent that I can look at in person.

Easy to use and keep tent down. Both times I've used it on our camping tent there has been a small rainstorm pass through. It held everything down !

The carrying case ripped. Poor quality. I wanted to contact the seller but I didn’t know how to do it through whatcampingtent.com. If you can replace the carrying case I would be happy
