Post by: jackelope on June 03, 2015, 08:16:32 AM: I'm not using one either but I'm going to pass it up when it comes time for me to buy a new little tent. I think I'd rather go with the Copper Spur in favor of the side entry double door feature.

Side by side...

Post by: swift on June 03, 2015, 09:21:36 AM: I'm looking at this basically as a freestanding one-man tent so door orientation is not a big issue, I was looking at a two person trekking pole set tent but will use this as 2 to 3 day based tent in the Highcountry
Weight was a major concern but I also wanted a floor and freestanding that's how I've arose at this tent
Thanks for input guys !

Side doors are a lot easier to get into and out of.

Also looking at the Tarptent Rainbow.

Still not sure though...

Post by: kselkhunter on June 08, 2015, 12:03:04 PM: I also have the Big Agnes Fly Creek UL3. Nice to have the extra room to spread out, and can fit a second adult well when necessary. Has been my go to tent recently for solo/duo trips. Has held up to the wind fine for me, just stake it well.
