Pop ups and wind don't mix! Good for the back yard tho!

This is a very good point! We did have it in some windy conditions and found that the tie downs and stakes were plenty and we had no issue. But yeah, this is definitely a great tent for more leisurely/family camping. I probably wouldn't recommend it on the side of a mountain or anything, lol.

@@TinasNook I've camped my entire life. I've had every type of tent there is! I built Campers for 6 years while in college! Which are basically junk, unable to handle a storm, roofs are guaranteed to leak and a hassle to keep maintained. The best time of a camper is the day you buy it, and the day you sold it! Tents are made to fail. That way you have to buy a new tent. Coleman, Wenzel, Ozark Trail, Columbia, Rei, North Face, Core, it doesn't matter they are made to last a year unless you only camp once a year! Pop ups are terrible in the wind! Cheap plastic, weak poles, poorly designed joints, minimum thickness to keep the weight down. all just one wind gust away from turning a good day into a nightmare. Retractable designs lack stability and canopys fold like foil in a wind just like pop up tents. Then there's seams and waterproof floors and waterproof tops all of which you have to address the first time you set up the tent and leave it out to breathe and cure! Then there's the stakes! I ask why bother including them they are worthless! So there's another expense after seam sealer, and waterproofing! This brings us to the canopy! I use a non rip self sticking fabric tape to strengthen weak grommets and high stress areas back in the day. However if the fabric is too thin no matter how well a tent is waterproofed it only takes one big rain drop to splatter it's way through say'n your going to get wet! So then the trip is ruined the tent is sold or trashed and another person never buys a tent again. It's a process any tent manafacteur lives buy to sell more tents. When a good tent is just a extra $200 and a canvas tent at $500 Core is in a market once dominated by Coleman and Wenzel. Walmarts Ozark Trail is right there! Pop ups are for right now. Not for the weekend! Kind a like a kids backyard camping night! Personally, I built my own tent! Hot air welded floor, walls window coverings, 99 % uv reflective white, and able to float on water. I've had it now 20 years been in hail, 70 mph wind, and once set in 8 inches of water and dry like a desert inside. All recycled material except the screens and inside corner frames I had a blacksmith make from aluminum. No outside ropes, or tensioner. The tent doesn't heat up because the fabric is reflecting 99% of uv rays. The fabric will not rip, sheds all water, and if you did manage to put a hole in it which is very difficult, you just hot weld a patch and your good to go!

@@offgridselfteliant I think I want you to come built ME a tent!! 🤣 You’d be fun to sit at a bbq with and pick your brain awhile! It sounds like you’ve had a lot of different (and fun!) experiences. ☺️

​@@TinasNookWow, I feel honored. However those that have seen my tent while I'm out camping cannot contain their curiosity. Oh they try to be inconspicuous by Introducing themselves. But always it is I've never seen a tent like that what brand is that? Laughing it doesn't help matters that I made a label that simply says " My tent "! And of course they can't find a web site or any reference. It's a nasty reflective white and you do need sun glasses setting it up! But isn't that the purpose to reflect the uv rays? They don't realize I made it until they look inside. You see the material is so strong I use it for shelves. To give you an idea the fabric shelf holds a camp stove with cast iron pan, griddle, and accessories. If I don't need them I simply fold them up and velcro the shelf to the inside. You can touch the sides in a pouring rain it will not leak. And my window coverings are extra large and I can put poles out and extend it like an awning! A park ranger at yellowstone said it was the best tent he had ever seen. He wouldn't leave me alone and took several photos! I should be used to the curiosity but it's every time. When I'm lucky I do get invited to a bbq now and then. Usually it's a question and answer session about my tent but I'm hard to drag information out of. In storms velcro works great for that extra tight holding power for windows coverings. Yet I've never had anything come loose to know if I need to change my design of tied down coverings. I will say that you must be outside to tie down and cover the windows. Being so airtight the windows do need to breathe for fresh air. I may take you up on the offer if you are on my rounds this year. Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada, and California are places I'm hitting so far. That's into early September. After that I'll just look at a map, and see what's next. I also take my ebike which is nice for trails and bathroom runs! I'm not one to camp near the bathroom if you understand my meaning. It's actually my nose that gets upset and I try not to upset the nose. Let me know where your aarea is at and I'll consider the visit. A BBQ is a hard thing to pass up. I'm not a fan of pulled pork tho. Just say'n. But hey I'll share some info, but the rest your on your own. As for building you a tent, I'm working on getting enough material to build another one even tho this one looks to have another 20 years of life left. Or more. I'd say the strangest experience was a rain storm with 60 mph gusts at times. Other Campers were screaming. I put on my emergency trash bag poncho of 6ml. Plastic and gathered 12 adults and 4 kids. It was a terrible night 2 inches of heavy rain and it felt like being in a sardine can. The sides did allow people to lean on them for a back rest while sitting down. I did loosen the windows to allow for circulation all those bodies made it very warm. That morning was hell. I had 2 coffee cups, a 6 cup coffee pot and 12 coffee drinkers. As fast as I made coffee the rain stopped. I still get letters from 2 of them. The last thing I will share is I use fishing line to string a perimeter around my tent. Using a sonic alarm if the string is hit it alerts me that a 2 legged or 4 legged critter is near my tent. Most of the time it's a 2 legged critter. I'm quite the camper so I have inviting things that seem to invite unwanted guests. Never used to do that until I lost my favorite hatchet I left stuck in a camp fire log!
