Man, that was great. I've little to no tent set up experience, much less in the rain. But I did just today buy this tent, and will be eternally grateful that you showed me this way of doing that! Never would have considered this method. And in fact, of all the tutorials and reviews, I've not seen one that showed me this trick. Brilliant, thank you!!!
You are welcome! I’ve been fortunate to not actually have to use this in practice since I filmed this! Glad you found the video useful. Enjoy your tent!
I feel like one should wrap the footprint in the rainfly, so that when you roll them both out, the rainfly is on top in the right orientation. This would keep your footprint dry as well, since you don't really want that to be wet either. Then push the poles under and into their footprint holes.
Both the left and right side of the vestibule doors are staked to the ground and that's done on both sides, so mind explaining to me how you were able to get under the rain fly?
@@solohiker9917 Your reply makes no sense because I guess I didn't explain myself correctly. Here is a video that shows what I'm referring to. ua-cam.com/video/Jq7oOi0CodY/v-deo.htmlsi=o23cMdb2OI20MYqc
@360Investigations you staked the vestibule wrong. Only stake one flap, the other is left free to roll back or zip up for access to the interior. You’ll never get inside if you don’t keep one flap unstaked. This is done with both vestibules to allow entry and exit both sides.
@@solohiker9917 Well the companies instructions says I staked it correctly which I explained the video I linked. I also explained in the video I go by what the company says to do, not people on forums, UA-cam, or any place else on the net. I was making a point with that whole video to get the company to address shit they shouldn't be pulling. Especially with those frigging guy line tensioners. It's not the job of a consumer to be looking things like that up. I hope you see/understand my point.

I might give that a try. Thanks!
Props to your cameraman :)
Heh. He did alright for an eight year old! So I let him have his own UA-cam channel:)

The tent let’s you stake one of the vestibule doors and tie the other door back. Can do the same in the second vestibule too.

Good for you. I think getting inside the tent was the least tricky part! Was rather intuitive. Don’t sleep outside please.
Looks like you didn't put the poles into the inner grommets? Just attached the flu to the inner with the buckle?
Probably. I recall having to redo something afterwards which helped with the way it sat. So let’s add that to the list of mistakes!
