I bought this for my husband and he said 'thanks but I want a Big Agnes Flying Diamond 4 and an 8." So this tent is too big and too small for him.... The return time had lapsed and that's a long story. My theory is that we go in with 6-9 people and at 20lbs (including footprint) it's lighter than the 2 or 3 tents we haul in. I'm sure we could cram in 8 people with one more in the vestibule, this tent is HUGE. We set it up twice, once outside and once in our big family room. We never used it and it still has tags on the bag.
Three season tent that has 6 vents, 16 interior mesh pockets, two big doors, once large and one small vestibule. I'm in love with everything about it.

The cheapest I have ever seen it on e-bay is $595.00 + $75 for the footprint. I'm selling both for $465.00 + 1/2 the shipping. Moosejaw sells them for $699.00 tent alone. I'm in Jefferson County, WI but will be near Ely ( on Isabella Lake) Labor Day weekend and would be happy to meet someone there or on the way up Weds. 8/30 or back down Mon 9/4. We could come off the lake during our stay since it's a fast 'weenie' portage.
