Review on GigaTent Bear Mountain Family Tent by Doug Friedman

Finally found a tent that is JUST right for 2 50 somethings. 10X10, near vertical sides, great ventilation, 6 foot sidewall height with 7 foot center height. Notice the rainfly, allows ventilation in all but the most extreme conditions. An extra high blow up queen mattress fits nicely with walk around & storage room to boot. If you aren't handy with solving problems you likely don't need to tent camp, get a room. It has issues you need to address BEFORE you set it up at the campsite but it is 5 star for it's price point. Don't like the floor seam? Seam sealing tape will solve it. You will need to do seasonal maintenance on it any way & no camping gear I have ever used is perfect. (I try my darnedest not to tent camp in rainy seasons). My tent had an issue the shock cords in the fiberglass poles were of poor quality & were frayed or broken. Replace them before you use it, you can still set it up but what a pain! If you have ever set up a tent, this is a cabin-dome hybrid. Intuitive, but best with 2 people. Mine was not purchased from ebay.
