Excellent value, very versatile tent

2 years ago

Bought this tent 7 years ago. Have spent approximately 100 nights in. If you are an ultralighter or Camp in very warm weather, this tent might not be for you as it is bulkier and heavier than an ultra light setup, and there is a lack of ventilation in my opinion, though I have backpacked extensively with it. This tent is extremely durable and dependable. I can set it up blindfolded it’s so simple. Plenty of storage inside, including an attic. The vestibules are roomy and a great place to keep items out of the weather. The stakes leave a bit to be desired as I’ve broken several of them and have had them torn out of the ground in heavy winds. Recently slept in this tent, with my wife, through 40 mile an hour winds, which lasted several hours. Thought we’d be picked up and airmailed. Both vesitbule stakes pulled out of the ground, but the tent held. Woke up the next morning to find we were buried under 15 inches of new snow! Can’t recommend enough this tent enough.

Amazing tent, 8 yrs old and still going strong

4 years ago

I bought this tent 8 years ago, probably spent over 200 nights in it. Its been in crazy winds, snow, rain and summer heat with no issues. Mine weighs in at 5lbs 2oz for everything, so its not super light, but it's super sturdy. 35 sq feet is great for 2. We have plenty of room for packs inside the tent.

Small for price, big for backpacking/bikepacking.

5 years ago

There's nothing wrong with the tent, especially for the price I got it. It (tent body and rain cover) stuffs into a 10L dry sack without a fuss, with the poles kept on the outside. This arrangement makes it small enough for taking on a thru-hike, especially given the price, although if you have extra money you wouldn't be mad about going all out for an ultralight backpacking specific tent that could pack to half the size. Someday I'll do that, but considering the budget, I chose to spend more on a no-compromise backpacking/bikepacking sleeping bag and sleeping pad. That's all a give and take you can decide on! For me, this fitting in a 10L makes it just right for my arrangement.

Great tent, bad stakes

2 years ago

So far I’ve only used this for car camping with me, my girlfriend, and my dog (medium to large). For a 2 person tent, it’s pretty spacious as we all fit with 2 sleeping pads, a small dog bed and a small duffel. The tent is also extremely waterproof for the price — we weathered some pretty substantial thundering rain with fairly high winds, and the only moisture I ever felt was what I brought in the tent by accident and occasional sprinkles of mist from keeping the vents open. For this alone, the tent is worth the price. The only issue I have is the stakes, which seem to be prone to warping fairly easily, don’t like to stay in the ground, and don’t fit the stake-out loops very well. During the aforementioned rain, I noticed that one of the loops came off of its stake and another had been torn from the ground, so I used additional backup steel stakes I had to help keep it in place. With a good set of stakes, this is a solid tent!

mountainsmith Morrison tent

2 years ago

Very satisfied with my tent. I have used it on 4 Wildland Firefighting trips to California, Montana and Idaho, Easy setup with clips on the interior bug net attaching to 2 crossing top poles and a rainfly that clips to corners. No threading poles through the tent body. Good ventilation to keep condensation under rainfly and away from you, and has an interior bug net and floor tub. It has an overhead mesh net that serves as a catchall that I used to hold an overhead light inside .Two vestibules are nice to keep boots and packs covered without having to crawl over them. I used a homemade tyvek type footprint because it didn't come with one. Weight is around 5 lbs but the tradeoff is worth it for what you get. At times I only needed 2 pegs to hold the vestibules out because the crossed poles and corner clips held the rainfly in place. As a precaution I treated it with waterproofing even though I didn't have to. Very happy with the purchase.
