Being a Boy Scout I want a large tent that is easy to set up in the dark yet is light as possible and usable in all kinds of weather. This tent is all of the above. I saw it online when I intended to buy a Mountain Hardware Airjet 2.

I just used the Fling on a weeklong stay at summer camp and it rained once a day for the first five days. On the last two days it was in the 90s. During the rain the tent did not drip at all on me or my gear, however there was some condensation on the inside of the tent on the last day of rain. I was using the tent with the ridge pole and the back and corners staked but not the front.

Overall the tent is very roomy for its size and will fit two people (with large sleeping pads) plus a medium amount of gear. I would highly recommend the Fling to any fellow Scouts along with everybody else.
