Great tent and worth the price!

First, I don't know what all the fuss is about with relation to sealing the seams. This doesn't take for ever, and in doing so it is so worth it. Yes, as every tent gets filled with condensation due to the mouth-breathing, snoring majority- we all find a bit moisture on the Toddtex. My only issue is the double vestibule. If I'm in snow it's a blessing. If it's late fall w/no snow it's just an additive that I could live without. Personal opinion aside, it's a fact that this tent, as Bibler, is a house that no wolf can blow down. The quick setup is such an important aspect as well as the strength. Thank you BD for improving on the BiBLER. If I was smart and spent the extra $150 for the perfect tent, I would have gone with the Ahwahnee. Note to self: there are small compensations when being a cheap bastage. Kudos to BD. I'll only buy your tents (especially this spring when I update my 3 season).
