There's a reason its a $30 tent. You are gonna get what you pay for on
this one. I'd use a Philtent before I'd use that tent (its already
been paid for). It would be good for car camping, but I wouldn't take
it on a backpacking trip.
Any tent that has fiberglass tent poles gets the axe in my book. As an
example, when a fiberglass pole fails, it fails catastrophically
(breaking into pieces). When an aluminum pole fails, it first fails
plastically (which means it gets bent and won't go back to being
straight, but its still usable) before it fails catastrophically.
