[Philmont] Please express you assessment of this tent

It is also a Texsport tent so it might not even last through Philmont. You
can spot them because they crinkle when the fabric moves. Not free standing
also. No ventilation because the roof panel will be covered by the fly so
no air circulation during a rain or at night. Cheap, but will be a throw
away.

Don is right, it's NOT a bivy, just using the name. Not any lighter or
smaller than several other very good lightweight 2-man backpacking tents,
like the SD Clip Flashlight, Big Agnes Seedhouse, etc. Personally, I prefer
a tent with a separate rainfly, not one that's attached. Gives better
airflow I think, better protection. And if it's wet, the fly can be packed
separate from the rest of the tent, on the outside of the pack, and easier
to pull out to dry in the sun during a lunch or other rest stop. Second, I
like a tent where the separate rainfly makes a vestibule area, a place to
put your boots overnight. I don't like the design of this tent. $55 (or
$29.97) is a super deal, but I wouldn't give you $10 for it.
