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

Spring Bar Tent...hands down. Pricy but worth every penny

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

Hmm. Looking forward to that I guess

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