Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a 68 yr old senior who started camping as a child in the '50s I'd like to share my thoughts to any of the "Haters". I pitched this myself in about 25 mins - I don't hurry unless necessary It went up in a very conventional dome tent style, though it's a long walk around if the pole comes off the pin (My weathermaster 6 has tight fitting clips for the poles) I think the elastic cord in the poles is "Iffy", given the weight of fiberglass poles, but if any break, they're easy to restring. Most of the tents I've owned get new, better stakes - This one was put up with 8" aluminum "Y" alloys - if I recall 16 of them I installed the fly on the windward side 1st, as any breeze will help pull it over the top Just looking at pics, I knew the porch would get wet, no big deal I knew this isn't a four season tent - My great Marmot Limestone 4 is far better, but sucks in summer unless I leave the rainfly open. This tent is made to ventilate and keep you dry - which it seems to excel at. Overall, if you are respectful to the process of pitching and use, this tent's as good as any and a lot better than some other more expensive tents (I don't know how many tents I've owned over the years (I'm currently @ 10 LOL)) They all have a purpose - sub 3lb 1person backpackers to this thing. I'm headed to Minn 8/8/17 for a week, hope it storms (I love storms) Thanx for taking the time to read this Greg
