My wife and I are avid kayakers; we started thinking about camping to mitigate the cost of each trip to the river. She has lots of camping experience, I have none. After looking at probably 150 tents in all price ranges, I decided I wanted a tent with one entrance and vestibule, good interior height and some extra room inside, maybe for a chair or gear. I focused in on the Teton 4, and got a good price. The setup is a snap, took me about 5 minutes. Needed some help with the fly. It is snug, dry, well-ventilated; the construction is excellent. My ONLY complaint would be that the fly does not come all the way down to the ground, except at the corners; so in a windy rain storm, it is possible some water could find its way into the tent. But if I knew there was going to be a windy rainstorm, I wouldn't go camping! So, all in all, for the money I think it's a wonderful tent for lightweight camping!

is there a way to use extra rope, to stake out the middles of the sides? a bit of a hassle, not much really, and would pull the sides of the rain fly farther out, and keep you dry.
