REI Half Dome 2 Plus assembly

[@JoePeck316]

Exactly the video I needed... I'm glad I kept watching to see the hidden features, too.

[@KariTykeson-Ohlson]

Thank you, your instructions were perfect. Just set up and tore down in less than 20 minutes.

[@ronjones4069]

Thank you so much. I didn't know about the "hidden features". Happy camping.

[@norcalprospecting2809]

Thank you very much for taking the time to shoot this video! Perfect, and fun to watch. Lol. 😎

[@1ryanlc]

Another fun feature is that REI's flexlite air chair fits perfectly inside!

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

Oh, great idea! Thanks for stopping by.

[@joshuahudson5775]

Great review. And great idea with the trekking pole tarp rig. REI sure has made some upgrades. I have a 2 plus that’s 5 plus years old. Great tent but this one is another level

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

It kills me w1hen I buy before an upgrade! Thanks for stopping by

[@dronedaze]

Good job showing the tent. Good idea to know how before trying to set it up in the woods. Nice video

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

Good point! Thanks for stopping by

[@deanerhar]

Watched this to remember all the extra bells and whistles my tent comes with. This info is included on the second flap behind then instructions but its nice to see it in action. REI truly makes the best 3 season tent for the money, no doubt. Plenty of headroom when sleeping due to the steeper slope on the sides and doesnt feel claustrophobic with the ridgeline and all mesh enclosure. Got the plus size because it's perfect length to fit my gear and bags at the end of my feet. Also, t's not made in China! Vietnam, but NOT China haha!👍

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

Right!? Amazing tent. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

[@melindajennings7795]

Can you post a video on how to fold up the poles. Can’t get them folded back the way they came when I bought it.

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

I just fold as best as possible so it fits into pole bag. Have you been able to get them back in the pole bag?

[@melindajennings7795]

@@RockClimbinGrandma thx for reply. I have been able to put them back in bag but just not as compact as when I got them.

[@PrimeReal]

Same!

[@akhilchavan2927]

Wow, great review. I think i'm going to purchase this today. Thanks!

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

Exciting! I use this tent a lot. Very reliable. Enjoy!

[@Ed.Sel74]

Thanks for the enthusiastic review. Entertaining. Any chance REI Half dome offering 3 person tent?

[@edover60]

The short piece of pole sleeve is actually for the short pole that connects the 2 arched poles. It it where the clip on top of the tent attaches.

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

Hmm. I don't see what you're talking about. I took my idea of what it is from the REI description of parts. Hope I'm setting up my tent right!

[@edover60]

Yeah it's hard to describe plus you have a newer model than me. Mine is the orange and beige version. But the sleeve slips onto the center pole, then you attach the other two poles. So that sleeve is in the center of the top pole. Then the clip that's in the center of the tent top clips onto that sleeve. Really it wouldn't matter with or without it - the clip will still attach. I was just making an observation. 🙂

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

@@edover60 Thank you for information. Hope you are having awesome adventures in that tent! Thanks for stopping by...

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Love your spirit!

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

Thank you! Very kind. Glad you could stop by.

[@Michelle-cz5bt]

love the idea of having a "awning" what kind of poles would you need to do that?

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

You can use hiking poles or even a stick of wood. The awning could be a sun shade or a shelter from light rain . Thanks for stopping by!

Wonder why the plus is lighter. Weird. Looks like a great tent. Stay well my friend.

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

Not sure. But I'm happy with the tent!

[@dons1643]

great job. I couldn't figure out how/where to put the steaks and you are one of the only ones who showed a close up of the process of - do you put the poles through the metal grommets or through the strap? Thanks for showing that close up. Last year this tent kept my daughter and I warm down in the 20's...

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

Glad to hear that helped! And thanks for the temperature feedback. May winter camp this year...

[@dons1643]

@@RockClimbinGrandma I like hiking now because it’s colder in the days and I don’t sweat my butt off...

[@bobbyheidkamp9635]

This was very helpful, I was wondering what the fasteners on the fly were for and now it’s clear. Do you know what the extra pole piece included is for? It’s a loose cylinder that is larger than the poles

[@bobbyheidkamp9635]

Ah nevermind it’s just a repair tube. Thanks!

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

That is a pole repair tube. If a pole becomes bent, you can slide it over and tape it in place. That will shore up the pole until it can be replaced. It's nice to have a stash of duck tape with you in the woods. Enjoy your tent!

[@KristinTaylorFilms]

I'm about to purchase this tent. Thanks so much for the video! :D Question. Does the mesh coming down so low bother you or not at all? Do you get cold from it?

[@RockClimbinGrandma]

Thanks for stopping by! The mesh doesn't touch my head even when I sit up in the middle. There is plenty of space at the edges so it feels roomy. The rainfly does trap a certain amount of heat but it may only be a few degrees. I recommend checking night time temperatures and be sure that your sleeping bag and pad are rated correctly. If you haven't stayed out in cold yet then better to practice before you actually camp. Hypothermia is a thing. Excited for you! Enjoy!
