Looks easy in a backyard. Try It in the Rockies, with mine I have to find rocks and use paracord to keep it down.

Wait, one strip of velcro to hold the rain fly back... I'd like to see a zipper or some snaps, something that gives more of a positive grip then velcro. I don't want to be half way through setting it up and the fly comes off the velcro. Then your drying out your tent all night, mostly with your sleeping bag. I spose you could put some snaps on easy enough.

Doesn't look like there is any room for gear in this tent at all.

[LACSMOB]

Would you recommend this or the slumberjack 2?

I hate how most hiking people wear "nearly-bought" crappy (bland, clothes). This guy isn't too bad. I have the same hiking pants I wore in mexico jungle, mountains, rock-climbing for years. newer is definitely not always better. I've got an Apex and was considering this b/c of less weight, but I like the apex a lot, it's qual.

the zues 2 is a free standing, 2 poles and sets up, no stake down, in under 5 minutes from pack to done. weighs under 4 pounds and sells for about 150. cant be beat. tons of room and even a big vestibule. great ventalation and sleep 1 like a king or two and two packs comfortably

A few warnings about this tent, the front (larger)pole will snap if you don't seat it all the way in the bottom on the sleeve, double check before you slide the pin in.

Also, the rain fly will sag and touch the inside mesh, dripping condensation. I always use at least two of the three guy lines to keep the rain fly tight (use all three in wind and rain).

Great video! I was on the fence about whether or not to purchase one of these tents, and I have not been able to try one in a store. After watching this video I think that I will take the plunge.
