I have used this tent for weekend car camping as well as week long excursions canoe camping in Algonquin. It is a very reliable tent and is easy to set up. It is not the lightest but the extra room is worth the effort. I used this tent for about 6 years before I replaced it with a new one. Now we can use the old parts as spare parts if need be. It is good to reapply waterproof spray after the first year as it can start leaking in a heavy downpour. lots of room for two people with all the gear kept inside.
