For what purpose? Backpacking? Drive to camping? Do you go a lot?

If you don't have to carry it far, Kirkham's Spring Bar is outstnading. Little bit expensive, but if you go to the store, they used to have the Scout 80 Model available only to Utah residents/BSA. This was a super cheap deal for Utah folks. Cost something like $400 instead of $700. Sleeps 4 to 5 people.

I would just get the biggest one Costco has. They usually have a gimmicky easy setup.

What do you recommend that isn’t gimmicky?

I didn't mean gimmicky in a bad way. My dad bought this giant tent at Costco last year that had some sort of hub system.

I can set my kodiak canvas tent up by myself in under 5 minutes. I love it.

Nice. Seems like the same as spring bar but cheaper.

I second this. Well built, easy to setup, and roomy. Got mine at Cabelas

Those tents cost as much as my daughter's 2006 Sentra.

Springbars are better made and will last longer than the Sentra too

If this price is legit this is a good value. Used this tent a dozen times.

I have a Big Agnes 6 and it was nearly blown flat by the wind about a month ago. Kinda disappointed.

Did you have guy lines set up from the rain fly?

Nakedbootleg

7/9/20 11:43pm

I had the guy lines set. The wind would flex the tent to where the poles would come detached from the inside

I went canvas, I'll never go back to synthetic (unless I was backpacking). I made a Kodiak v Springbar comparison
