Matt, thank you very much for your videos. They were the key to me deciding on the FD (and convincing the wife), although we went with the 6. We must have watched both of your videos 8 or 9 times. It more then holds myself, the wife, and our 8 month old, 76 pound German Shepherd puppy in her large kennel (she gets the bump-out room.). The geodesic structural design with aluminum poles rival any other manufacturer as far as sturdiness, as far as I'm concerned. I love the reflective guy lines & zipper strings. With my headlamp at night, I can spot my tent from almost 1/4 mile away. It sounds strange to say, but I can't wait to hit an industrail strength rain storm & really try it out. I appreciate your efforts.
