I only wanted to post this because I owe this tent a huge high-five for getting my family through a nasty thunderstorm on Agnes....and not blowing away or swamping during the deluge! To be fair, there are far better 4-person tents out there and I'd be the first to say so.

However, we staked this tent out in the usual way with its 4 corner guy wires and 3 mid-fly guy wires and seamed-sealed all fabric seams well before taking it into the backcountry....and it held up!

With a good (cheap too!) heavy duty space blanket as a groundcloth, we had minimal moisture inside -- maybe a small puddle in one corner about 1-2 in diam....and nothing else! Also held it's ground in some very strong gusts that tossed our 45lb canoe into the water...

Also, we found this at a discounted price (under 200 US) so for a roomy family tent that only weighs barely 7 lbs. we think this is a keeper and would recommend to other families!

My Kelty external frame backpack is over 30 years old and still going strong: if Kelty still makes things like they used to, your tent should have a long life ahead of it.

My Cabela's is also similar in design and has 2 doors. It is very durable. Quick to put up.

My Kelty Gunnison-4 has been serving me well for several years. Similar in design and cost. Quick and easy to set up.
