Review on GigaTent Bear Mountain Family Tent by John Barnett

Received quickly thru ebay. I was replacing an old tent that I think was about 8x8 for something just a little bigger and taller so that my son & husband could stand in it. they are 6'3". I also wanted to be able to use this tent when I'm camping alone. I love cabin styles because they give you the most head and wall height and the best use of interior space. I was also looking at the Eureka cooper canyon. These two are almost identical in they're style & construction, but not only was the Eureka more expensive, but the fly did not pooch out over the windows so I feared that rain would drip down the side window areas, so it doesn't appear you could have them open at all during a light rain.It was a little awkard for me to set up myself, and I really want to be able to do this. I think since I have done it now the first time I will be a little more effiecent on subsequent set-ups. Although, I have not actually used it for camping yet, I don't see any reason that this won't be both roomy & durable! It is a little heavier than I would like for solo camping, but it packs small - which is nice!
