Pitched a tent in the backyard. First things first, super easy to set up. Stake out a taught rectangle, extend poles, done.
Today it’s 90* on its way to 100* with somewhat damp lawn meant this thing got swampy fast just pitching the fly. By the time I got the inner in place it was unbearable inside.
I’m a bit worried the solid is going to be too warm/stuffy for “normal” summer camp conditions even if you just pitch the inner but I wanted a tub that came up higher than the mesh inner version. I’m sure it will be really nice when the conditions go cold and sideways though plus gives more privacy.
Pad is a Exped Symmat UL Winter LW (77.6x25.6) so while *technically* two of these should fit side by side because the inner measures 52”wide, it would be very snug once you add bags/quilts. Both people would be up against the walls. Two normal width pads would probably fit fine. Added a pic of the Exped with a Nemo Switchback which would work ok. Go floorless with just the fly and there is plenty of room.
Anyways, a few pictures:
