Just found your channel. Nice concise review. Big Agnes and MSR tents although more expensive, are usually on sale somewhere. This tent is on sale now at REI for $300, a little less at other websites.
Yeah they really are! Yeah these are always on sale and I feel like more people should use them. This tent has done zero wrong to me! I love it, by far my favorite tent I own! Thank you for watching!
@@GearGarden I needed a 3 person tent but wanted a tent that fit 3 25" wide pads. I would have to buy a Copper Spur 4 person tent. MSR has a redesigned Hubba Hubba 3 person tent that will fit 3 25" wide pads but it's $650. Ended up buying an REI half dome 3 person for $240 plus it comes with a footprint. It's a little over 5 lbs. without the footprint, so splitting it 3 ways makes it kinda ultralight.
I have this tent, maybe a year and a half-two years Several hundred miles. I really love everything about it. Pockets are great and I keep my pack and most of my gear inside with me. The only question I have is can you set it up fly first, in the rain. Then clip in the body? I just use tyvek. I have heard you can but it’s really hard with the cross poll on top with the little pockets.
Nice video! I’ve got the 2015 model of this tent, and it has held up beautifully. It withstood an all night windstorm on the slopes of Mount Hood a few years back. Absolutely incredible that the tent did not collapse. Not only that, it was not even damaged. Did great on Mount Whitney, also. Considering upgrading to the new model based on your video. Thanks!
Thank you for the review. Currently looking for a freestanding tent for a trail with beach/sand sites. I've used a Duplex for years and don't want to mess with set up on sand.
@GearGarden that's great to know that it will hold up to use in the weather we typically expect in the uk mountains. Do you feel it is has enough space for you? I am planning on using it with a 26 inch wide pad. Did you purchase the groundsheet with it? Any negatives with the tent?
Great review! I just recently saw this on sale through REI but I ended up going with the Tiger Wall 2p Platinum for its weight to space ratio. Still not sure if it was the right decision but I'll know this weekend LOL
Yeah let me know! Truth be told it was a toss up for those 2 tents for me as well’ I also want that tiger wall! It’s tempting that is on a mega sale right now😭😭😂
@@SparkyOne549 I actually really love it! I can't believe how light it is and it takes like 2-3 minutes to set up at camp. I got it for a really good deal too. One of my better purchases
Definitely considering this one! Wanna stay under 3lbs, freestanding, and a bit more room than my Outdoor Vitals Dominion 1p - footprint included all in 3lbs 3oz.
@@GearGarden currently for summer I either use my Nemo Hornet 2p or my Six Moon Designs lunar solo and the 3f UL Gear Lanshan 2 for when I'm out with my dog. One fine day I'll add the copper sur.
@@Rando-user-zm1fx hornet is a kickass tent too! Same with the others. My fave Nemo tent I have is the dagger 2p! My buddy has the dragonfly and loves it. Yeah I recommend the copper spur for sure. It’s on mega sale at REI currently

@ that’s also a great tent! I had the 3 person one you got, and for the weight it’s basically a solid backpacking tent for sure

I agree! I love this tent the most by far of any tent I have owned/ used

Thank you for watching!! Yeah this tent is easy to setup and the freestanding feature makes it’s so easy!
How is this tent holding up for you and how does it hold up to heavy rain and winds?
Still my main tent! It performs so well in the wind dude. Had it in 40-50 plus mph winds and rain and it doesn’t budge much at all!

So how did it work out for you?
@@SparkyOne549 it’s my favorite freestanding tent for sure! It’s very bulletproof with storms and condensation!

@@dmar0652 That’s awesome!

This one is perfect my friend! They are on sale currently so I’d jump on it asap!!’ Thank you so much for watching and subing 😄
@@GearGarden Thank you! And quite welcome :)
I have the 3 person, love it! I wish it had magnets to pull back the doors and netting. I love the magnet system.
Yeah idk why all tents don’t use magnets! Those are the best way to roll up a door!!
Mix to mono on a mac man. Camtasia will do it for you or use ffmpeg
Yeah this video the audio was all messed up haha
Can't go wrong with a copper spur.
One of my favorite freestanding tents for sure! What you use?

@@GearGarden I've been wondering about that Dragonfly. Maybe your buddy will let you borrow it for a view?
@@Rando-user-zm1fx yes he will! I will for sure do one veryyyyy soon!
