We did do that and it did help. It just seems a more stable solution would be a lightweight pole across the top. That being said, it was like a damn hurricane and the tent did really well in it. It is absolutely fabulous. Exactly what I want.

I had a cross pole in the original design, but I really don't think it is necessary with proper pole tension and if need be slightly canting the poles. That's based on our testing.

But barely enough room for two and a dog….

Buzz and I like our space....

Is there a sod skirt on it?

In some of the pictures it looks like there is one, but some pictures seem to not show one. I’m thinking this just could be how it is pitched lengthening and shortening the stake out points.

Good question and this is one other thing I noticed. The sod skirt is very minimal and it is difficult to get the tent sealed to the ground and keep out drafts. I would suggest a wider skirt in future versions.

But, yes a skirt is there.

There is a 3" skirt on the tent. to get it all the way to the ground you just need to lower the pole height and tighten the line-locs.

Do you feel that the short sod skirt contribute to to your wind problems?

My SLUMBERJACK does not have a skirt for my spike camp and I really do not like that. I feel a 3 inch skirt could be tough to seal down because many times the ground has more than 2 inches Deviation for the skirt to lay down on the ground. I think I’m narrowed down between this tent and the Gamm six. My buddy has the SO 8 man and I believe it is a five or 6 inch skirt.

How hard would it be to lengthen the skirt out a few more inches
