I recently had the pleasure of using this fantastic 6-person tent on a camping trip, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations! Although it’s labeled for six people, it comfortably fits four with plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and relax, but that’s common for tents and I expected that going in and in a survival scenario you probably could squeeze six in there. The black-out interior is really nice as it provides a perfectly dark environment for a restful night’s sleep, even if the sun is still out as can be common during the mid-summer evenings. I thought the interior would be hotter being mostly black, but it actually wasn’t bad. Regardless we were camping during the summer, so we opened the air flow flaps that still have a mesh covering to keep out bugs but allow for additional cooling.
What truly impressed me was the ease of setup. I was skeptical of the 60-second advertisement for setup, but I actually had the tent pitched and ready in under 60 seconds, which made settling in a breeze and left more time for enjoying our surroundings. The design is intuitive and straightforward, making it ideal for anyone new to the outdoors.
I will say that it is bulky, so there would not be a way to take it on a backpacking trip, but it is great for and really shines at a campground site. It’s in a long bulky bag, so it might be a little difficult to pack in the car with camping equipment. Overall, this tent combines comfort and convenience in one nice package.
