Review on 2020 Update of the Kelty Grand Mesa Backpacking Tent: Ideal for Outdoor Adventures by Rafael Gomez

Build Quality: I've taken this tent on 4 or 5 hikes, one of which was a night hike. The tent has never broken and seems to be holding up well. I use it with the recommended base (it's a bit annoying that I had to buy something else). Pack size: When I put this in my backpack, it's about the size of a sleeping bag (maybe a little smaller). I pack the tent in a bundle at the bottom and the arches separately (vertically) in a bag. The fit is much better than putting everything in the original bag and assembling.
