"survives to this day like 8 years later as my loner ... it's the tent used by the professional guides at the local outdoor shop. ... It's plenty durably. ... Yes, they're very durable."
"I've used the Fly Creek in very harsh weather and have never had a drop of water get inside, nor a stake pull loose, nor a rip, or broken pole."
"If you take care of it you will have that tent for 20 or more years."

"I’d gladly take that weight over the coffin that is the creek. Just ain’t worth it."
"Cannot imagine sleeping with a second person in it, though. It feels too small, even for me + big dog."
"Even if you only have one I regret going with the two person over the three when I take my girlfriend camping with me"

"the difference is having two side entrances on the Tiger Wall vs. a single rear entrance on the Fly Creek. ... With two adults (especially two adults and two kids), you'll be tripping over each other if you do not make having _two side entrances_ a must-have feature for a _backpacking_ tent. ... If you were getting a car camping tent, which would be much larger and spacious, you could get away with a single entrane. But not a backpacking tent."
"Fully agree about the door being a problem for 2 people on the fly Creek."
"the single door on the Fly Creek is pretty incovenient."

"If you are looking at really bad weather, and would be broadside to the wind, I don't think it's going to be a great time for you. The single ridgepole isn't going to perform as well as the copper spur in really bad conditions."
"Not great in a storm"
