[@lizweekly1483]

Thanks Chris! You are so good and patient with giving us instructions on the 'how to's". These are really good for the novice and others just watching. Thank you, you are a wonderful inspiration for us all! Keep Hiking! Liz

[@RabiaElizabeth]

I've not an experienced tent camper at all. I've owned this tent for 3+ years and just set it up for the first time today - thanks to Chris, without whose video I would have been lost. The instructions that came with the tent aren't great, but the video shows just about everything you'll need to know for setup. Thank you!

[@paulvalley5604]

Thanks for the video. I love this tent, I have used this tent in some pretty extreme conditions - exposed site in Scottish Highlands in 50+mph winds and once I staked it down it barely budged an inch. I am 6'2" and I find the room to be more than adequate. I can change and sit up for coffee. Truly a great tent.

[@basecampchris]

That's good to know about the extreme conditions...I recently did a video in a snow storm with this tent...I didn't show in the video but a tree I was under dumped a large amount of snow on the tent...essentially almost burying the tent. The tent poles did not break and after I dug it out...it stood up fine!

[@calvinmonroe2408]

By the time i get my tent i will have virtually put it up dozens of times! Thanks Chris

[@basecampchris]

You bet!

[@calvinmonroe2408]

Thanks for taking the time and opportunity to show us and explaining to us how easy it is to set up the tent,chris

[@philipkellett6036]

Just ordered from REI in Florida, taking on a 300 miles bike packing trip! Great video that made my decision for me!

[@basecampchris]

Awesome Phillip...it will work well for you...I really like the head room and pole system! Enjoy your bike trip!!

[@calvinmonroe2408]

You make it look easy

[@red1able]

Good use of close-ups! Good production.

[@basecampchris]

Thank you Art! little more challenging in the snow...but fun.

[@jeffrichards5106]

Great review and video Chris. Can't beat the weight of that tent! and it doesn't cost a fortune,

[@basecampchris]

It's my go to tent...packs down small too. "Keep Hiking!"

[@ibcontent]

Great job! Thanks. This just went to the top of my list!

[@calvinmonroe2408]

This setup system is awesome

[@basecampchris]

light weight tent too!

[@manuelgarcia760]

You are the number one Chris

[@basecampchris]

Thank you Manual!

[@jerryfife2015tacoma]

Great review and that's is a nice tent, I kinda like that design a little better than my big agnes fly creek ul1 on the door location being the REI tent's door on the side vs the big agnes door being on the end, seems to be easier to access the tent with the doors on the side, I've always wished the big agnes door would be on the side, but that's just me I guess a personal preference but I still love my big agnes but I will be getting your nice tent to try out for sure 😉, Thanks for the review, well done

[@basecampchris]

Thank you Jerry, I've heard good things about the Big Agnes tents...very light weight. I really like the pole system for the QD1 ( all shock corded together ) it's super easy to set up...Thanks for watching.

[@DrDennis]

Just got two backpacks from REI snd got no 20% off. I am a member.

[@basecampchris]

Nice!

[@donreinholz8121]

Overall I like the color coding and bathtub floor, also light weight.

[@robalan57]

I would guess with all that mesh you have to compensate with a warmer bag... I heard the rainfly attaches to the pole inside with Velcro. I try to avoid Velcro. I have had trouble with it lasting long term. You didn’t show that part of the setup.

[@LifeOfMikey1]

how is it at night in the cold ?

[@arthurreyes2632]

I used this tent a few weeks ago on the snow down to 28 f. No condensation, stayed dry.

[@karl3397A]

Question I just got this tent and have it all set up, but the three long cords that come with it, do they attach to previous stakes already in the ground? I see the three loops on the sides of the tent for them. One in the back and two in the front, but don’t get where they go after that??

[@basecampchris]

Hi Karlee, they are guy-lines and attach to those 3 loops and then add the remaining 3 stakes to stake them out with...it adds additional support for high wind conditions...I usually don't use them unless totally necessary. the stakes for the main tent body are usually enough...

[@karl3397A]

@@basecampchris I must need to re count because when I set up my tent I didn't have any extra stakes just extra guy-lines.

[@VevoV]

Would you say the passage 1 tent is 3+ season as wellm

[@basecampchris]

Yes, the Passage 1 is a 3 season tent - I'm seeing it for $139 might be worth a review!

[@donreinholz8121]

For retail price of $299 the Lynx 1 and 2 person tents are a lot cheaper.

[@trailtreker7002]

I think you should stick with the Alps Lynx 1

[@basecampchris]

Nope, Love the Quarter Dome...sweet little tent!

[@robalan57]

Why would you pick the Lynx 1? Thank you for any information.

[@calvinmonroe2408]

Are they YKK zippers

[@basecampchris]

They are.

[@joshuakroger8563]

Dang Chris how much gear do you have? A better question is how much gear do you want to give away to a friendly co-worker... J/K

[@basecampchris]

Hi Josh, Yes lots of gear.....hope the Camelbak works out. :)

[@joshuakroger8563]

@@basecampchris Already is, we used it as a doggy day pack when we took the puppy out. Thank you so much!

[@basecampchris]

That's hilarious! Arf!

[@dome6356]

Hey that's my name

[@basecampchris]

Hi Dome!! Keep Hiking!

[@badderthanyou]

Are you still using this tent?

[@basecampchris]

I am ...works very well for me. light wt. and well designed...unfortunately they no longer make this tent...discontinued sometime this year I guess. A comparable tent would be REI Co-op Passage 1 Tent with Footprint $200 / 3lbs 11 oz ttrail wt. /good reviews...but I have never owned it and can't attest to the long term use of it. Worth a look though.

[@marynaylor2203]

Where are your gloves!

[@warriorpoet193]

Found a QD 2 at goodwill for 6.09 .Looks stored but never used.Still had the tag on the tent bag.

[@carolnabors6746]

You probably have a whole room at home filled with your camping gear.

[@basecampchris]

I do!!
