EXCELLENT TENT!! Set-up super easy for one person, even easier with two people, quality built!!
I had a Walrus Warp 2 that I loved, but through moves and a marriage to a non-camper, it was sold for some ridiculous low price in a lawn sale. So I searched high and low for a replacement with the same details - walls, not screens for walls as in a 2 season, solid construction, options for extra space within, cooler weather camping, hanging slips and pockets to store lightweight stuff - this hit the nail on the head. Comes with footprint and rainfly - a requirement in the Northeast. A little concerned about the plastic parts - clips and center crossover connector where the tent "hangs" from at the very top (I think I can recreate it out of metal if I have to) but all in all, a great tent! Set it up in my living room as a trial run and it was way easier than the Walrus with the pocket sleeves for the poles.
