after initial skepticism, has become the Tipi, proved "best bang for the buck". My wife and I were able to test at a stretch the tent on two weekend events and then have 8 days. Weather-wise was 40 degree sweltering heat through squalls (here had ever mentioned that was the Tipi tent and the only non-departed or is folded) to torrential heavy rain and summer storms. In short, the Tipi can be set up easily in 5 minutes by one person, comes with practice and your partner's at 3 minutes (rather the problem is then looking at each other in the way), it is storm secure and absolutely waterproof. The potential weak spot (the contact point of the center pole of the tent floor) can be defined by a piece of rubber mat (for example from an old doormat by car cut) simple and easy (as a precaution) strengthen.
