"Our Big Agnes Copper Spur has worked well."
"They are great tents and you don’t have to use trekking poles for them. ... On the Copper Spur it’s optional. ... Otherwise it’s a normal vestibule."

"always kept me safe from the rain"
"I have and it managed pouring rain and high winds without issue."
"Had a CS as well, survived more than it should have ... had poles bending through gusts with all guy lines out (positioned into wind accordingly), surprised me how strong it was! ... I know my 2p CS had poles creaking at 40mph gusts"

"it would be pretty cramped if I had to bring my 60L pack inside with me…"
"Despite the name it's just big enough for 2 IMHO."
"When we started doing more car camping we eventually picked up a roomy Eureka tent. Having the extra room is nice. ... When we re backpacking we re carrying barebones sleeping gear, but with the car camping, we ll pile up blankets and even bring along dog beds."

"I had a copper spur for two seasons and had to patch the floor multiple times."
"Yes the bottom is super thin. ... I always use a Gossamer Gear plastic tarp under the copper spur bottom."

"I wouldn’t call any version of it ultralight."
"I have the copper spur and my brother has the dan durston xmid. The xmid is better. It has more room inside and it’s lighter"
"You would, however, save over a pound by switching to the TarpTent Hogback."
