Peter,
I purchased the 6 man size. Just about blew up in my hands! Seems well
made. It (only) took me about 5 mins. to figure out the repack. Wish
the directions were stiched to the tents somewhere. Its really easy,
but if one hasn't used it in a while it could be "alittle" trial and
error. I had put an earlier posting a couple of months ago concerning a
little snippet from the paperwork that came along with the tent. lets
see..trying to remember....something like...
This tent may not be legall in some countries.
The tent is suppossed to be flame resistant
Guess one could haul of and "pop" someone to death
I do seem to remember something about using extreme caution when
unpacking the rain fly. (I have never uncoiled my fly). I have not
acually use mine yet. I am pleased, but w/o acually testing.?!
One other thing...I saw on TV (just a flash) a commercial/infomertcial
of i think the "Easy Tent" something like that. Same thing different
name.
