I got this tent as a present, and was unaware of how ridiculuosly hard this tent can be to set up your first time. I have come up with a system that works great if you are alone, and have to pitch this badboy: first I put one of the main poles in the back to pockets, thus making the first arch; then you pull the tent over the pole, crawling inside to attach the first set of velcro straps; next do it with the front pole; finally put in the cross pole, and remember not to stretch to fast. I actually tore my first one. Absolutelly an awesome tent that weighs under two pounds! Get titanium stakes, and lighten it up more. Hasn't let me down yet in the Rockies.
