The first time I ever set it up was by the glow of the moon. It was so easy that by the time my friend finished what she was doing and offered to help me, I was putting our sleeping bags in. I've since camped in this tent in numerous places from Ontario as far east as St. John's, Newfoundland. I've been in two crazy thunder and lightning storms, and have had temperatures range from 4C to 30C. I've never gotten wet from the outside and the ventilation is good enough to keep you dry inside as well. At 7-8 lbs it's a little heavier than most backpacking tents, but splitting the load between two campers takes care of that problem. There is a ton of space for two people and gear (when including the 2 massive vestibules). I would definitely recommend this tent and I am looking forward to testing it out this winter.
