"I bought this tent for both car camping and occasional backpacking. I typically sleep alone or with my girlfriend.

I'm a bigger guy, 6 feet 270 lbs. Unless we're dealing with kids, I'd prefer not to have more than three people in this tent, and that's pushin it in my opinion."

"I went on a backpacking trip with 3 people, what a great tent. When I came back bought one for my son. There was three of us in this tent for 1 week in the middle of October and this tent worked great for size and weight. I am 6'2", 235 lbs, plus another 6'1", 220 lbs and 5'9" 160 lbs, worked great for three people and gear."

"I love this tent for car camping or kayak camping. It is just too heavy to backpack. I was warm on a surprise 20 degree night in a 35 degree bag. You can stand hunched over and move around without knocking it over. Simple set-up even in the dark, the corner pockets are nice for keys, lights, bear spray in case of an overly amorous tent mate."
