How to set up a tent | REI Halfdome 2+

Set up and repacking of REI Halfdome 2+ backpacking tent with tips along the way. Correction: MSRP including footprint is now $279. It was $229 when I bought the tent but the footprint was not included.

Great video. It's always nice to see a 'regular person' do this, as opposed to a professional tent salesperson or reviewer. You made it simple, and I like your tips at the end.

Thank you so much! I’m not a camping (yet) but a friend lent me this tent for a trip I’m taking. I looked at it and thought, “No way I will figure this out!” You made it easy for this clueless gal to put up!

Thank you SO much! This was excellent. I am taking my tent out for the first time in 4 years and I couldn't recall how to set I up. You just saved me a ton of heartache!

Really appreciate your commentary and tips on how to assemble and disassemble!

I havent set mine up for a few years. I spent about 45 minutes trying to figure it out and finally I found your video and pretty quickly put it up. I am glad I figured it out in my back yard instead of on a windy ridge in the back country.
