"We carried the Big House 4 three and a half miles split between two packs. Set up was easy with two people and the tent felt sturdy staked out.

We found it very spacious and the side pockets endless. My height is 5'8" and I had room to spare standing."

"I quickly returned this tent after a weekend of using it. First the “features”: the welcome mat seemed a nice feature at first; but then it rained, and the waterproof mat turned into a puddle – right in front of the door. The skylight also seemed a nice feature."
