camppal1 Person Backpacking Tent, Waterproof 4 Season Tent, Lightweight Cold Weather Tent Easy Setup for Winter Hiking, Camping, Hunting

I needed a roomy one-person CAR camping tent, and this one met all of my wants. At 5 3/4 pounds I consider it too heavy for backpacking. I am 6 ft 2 in. and 190 pounds. There is plenty of room for me and some of my stuff. I can sit up with a little room left over at the top. I wanted aluminum poles, not plastic. I wanted a simple setup, not a lot of parts and connections. The top 2/3 of the inner tent is mesh, which is great for desert camping under the stars. The rainfly is heavy and appears to be adequate for stormy weather. The enclosed instructions are best used to start your next campfire. However there are a couple of excellent YouTube videos, search for Camppal MT053. Make sure that the pole which is inserted into the RIGHT sleeve (looking from the narrow end of the tent) hooked into the two corners on the LEFT, and that the pole in the LEFT sleeve hooks into the two corners on the RIGHT side of the tent.

The first time I set this tent up one of the poles snapped.The company reached out and sent a replacement tent.I am delighted with the tent. It was easy to set up and is exactly what I had originally expected.Perfect size and weight for backpacking.

I was the chief quality specialist at an electronics corporation. One of my responsibilities, was to write and illustrate complex, electronic customer manuals.The manual that came with this tent, well I guess you could use it to start your campfire with. Putting up the tent itself was a snap. I had mine up in less than five minutes.However, the orientation of the rain fly was nonexistent. In the illustrated instructions, along with any detailed written instructions on how to put the rain fly on.However, When I put my tent up, the weather forecast was just for rain. It turned out to be two days of extreme weather. Including: thunder, lightning, heavy, wind, and drenching rain.So when I woke up this morning to check on the tent, I actually thought it would have blown away. however it was still there, not only that, but it was totally dry on the inside. I was thoroughly impressed! I’m 6’4” and I still had plenty of room. I would, however, put down a ground sheet just to possibly help keep out some of the moisture. but other than that, I would highly recommend this tent for the money you can’t beat it!!

My Amazon box was empty. I was delivered an empty box. So I can’t review the tent

main pole broke first time i tried to use it, was left with a broken tent for a week+ backpacking trip. cool design and i like how it looks but this completely ruined it for me.

I bought 2 of these tents at the same time for a trip with my daughter. When we did a test set up before the trip 1 tent was missing the guide ropes for staking down the rain fly and the other was missing one of the buckles that attaches the fly to the tent. Both were easy fixes for my hubby, but make sure you purchase with enough time to return if not an easy fix. Will update once we see how it holds up to the trip.

I know this says a single person tent, but we kinda made it work for two. It does keep you warm and from the elements, but also being pretty close within each other helps to keep heat in as well. It didn’t rain, but we tested it with some water from a bucket and it’s pretty durable and keeps you safe from getting wet. The way it’s designed is good and it’s not difficult to setup (at least for my husband it wasn’t, but that’s why I’m not the setup person) so far as size it’s for a single person BUT if you really squeezed in it can fit two pretty snugly. Overall it was a good little tent and we felt safe as it was able to protect from the elements.

A great gift to a friend. Heavy duty designed for long stays on the trail in Arctic conditions. Reasonably priced for the quality.
