Have one of these and I love it. Recommend anyone purchashing a snugpak for the first time taking it out in their back yard and practice with it a few time so you get used to the system. Once you have it down it only takes a couple of minutes to get the fly up. One trick, take some orange (or whatever other color you like) and mark one corner of the inner tent and outer fly (on the inside) save a couple of minutes lining it up during set up.

I have used an old Eureka tent, similar to their El Capitan 2, for 10 years or more. It has a frame attached to the tent with a fly to cover. The problem is setting up everything in the rain. The advantage I see with the Snugpak is that you can shelter your gear on the grass without dragging water and mud into the living area right away. Thanks for a great review.

Several years ago, I owned a North-face "Sierra" A Frame Expedition Tent. It was a beautiful Tent which North-face no longer manufactures. I understand the next highet grade was a tent used by Sir Edmund Hillary. It was identical to the Sierra except that it had an opening in the floor in which to have a stove. I purchased the Snugpack Pack Bunker recently. I wanted a small four season tent and look forward to using it. I think I will be happy with the Snugpack but honestly, the Sierra North-Face was a beautiful tent. No exaggeration, I've set that tent up easily on evenings under dark sky when there was a new moon - a bare minimum of lighting. I think I could have set that tent up blindfolded! And it looked beautiful as well!

Awesome video! Considering this tent, after my last tent from Nordisk (Oppland 3) decided to leak the first time it saw rain.... From what I see the Snugpak tents seem much sturdier built. I have one question which isnt super clear from the video. Can you unzip the opaque material from the front door of the inner tent, to make it fully mesh? Mostly asking this because that Nordisk tent had subpar ventilation, and in hotter climates I would have appreciated a bit more ventilation at times. If this tent doesnt have any mesh on the door its probably too closed off for the hot climates. Also, after all these years (8!!), how are you liking the tent after (I assume) a lot of use?

Pitch the rain-fly first myth - you have to buckle the tent to the poles and that is easier as an outside task. Plus tents do perform better IF staked out, which is also an outside task. Guy-lines is an outside task. So...maybe you could let your gear start to dry off under the rain fly as you setup...IF the rain-fly AND tent didn't allow for blow and splash...

Fox Fleet First, thanks for the comment. Secondly you can leave the inner attached once you do it once making it really fast to setup. This tent was setup for over a month in near blizzard conditions without being guy'd out and didn't budge, nor did any "blow or splash" get in the tent.

Living Survival - Not my experience with this style tent. Actual ice on the mesh and frozen places inside the tent. My sleeping mat saved me as the tent really did not. Blowing rain, turned quickly to freezing-rain/sleet. Mini-ice storm. Due to freezing we did NOT want to shelter under trees that could be dropping broken limbs or deadfall onto us. Rain splashed once the vents were guy'd out. Doors became ice on both the rain-fly and tent...and into the tub...

Real nice tent! I'm liking the color as well. Looking forward to hearing about it after you use it a few times.

Good review. That is a great tent. With the ability to use only the fly as cover to lighten your load love it. Overall nice system. Thanks.

Would it be safe for me to operate my jetboil in this tent? Do you find enough room from floor to ceiling for maybe a small flame or another way to cook?

Michael Crawford I wouldn't use a flame inside a tent with a floor. if you set it up without the inner portion (fly only) you could use a small flame or jetboil.
