Quick and easy to set up and take down
I bought this tent in 2014 and have used it a few times a year since both for backpacking and car camping. Set up is a breeze and can be done quickly by one person. In wet or humid conditions, I suggest using the guy-lines to pull the fly out away from the tent, because condensed moisture can drip through the mesh in some cases. The fly vestibule is nice for storing shoes, and the doors on the fly and tent are large enough to climb through without getting caught. The gear hammock is alright. It can be a pain to set up because the loops for its hooks never seem to expand, so I always need two hands to slip each one in. We store phones/watches, head lamps, toilet paper, and other small items that might be necessary in the middle of the night up there. My favorite thing about this tent is how easy it is to take down for one person. I usually unstake it, shake the dirt out from inside, then unclip the tent from all the poles so the poles fall to the side. If you take the poles out of the grommets while they are still clipped to the tent, the force from removing one end can launch the tent a foot or so off the tarp/footprint, getting it dirty and causing you to waste time by having to go set it right again. If you have no reason to shake out the tent, taking the poles out while it is still staked also works. Anyway, it took me a couple tries to figure out the best way to fold the fly, but I like to make sure the support pole for the fly vestibule is perpendicular to the length of everything, so that when I roll it up, that pole fits nicely with everything else. I fold everything into thirds length-wise, roll it all up with the poles, and have never struggled to force the tent and its accessories back into the bag (though if you have a tarp that doesn't fold easily, this might not always fit in the tent bag. A thinner footprint is easier to stuff in there). I love this tent and I believe that with proper care, it will last me a very long time--My dad still has his Eureka! tent from the early 80s!
