"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."
"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."

"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."

"I’d gladly take that weight over the coffin that is the creek. Just ain’t worth it."
"Unless you have narrow shoulders, there's no way you can fit two people, but as a 1 person it's really nice."
"It's only a one man tent, and I wish I would have opted for the two man tent so I have more room for my gear."

"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"

"After getting as much mileage as possible out of my BA 2P Flycreek and Tarptent Rainbow, I'm excited to invest in an ultralight shelter that shaves a pound or more off my base weight"
"You would, however, save over a pound by switching to the TarpTent Hogback."
