"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 used it backpacking in Colorado and it was great."
"The reason our crew used them was because they weigh a combined total of 3 pounds, so it only added 1 lb to each person’s pack."
"It was one of the lighter backpacking tents I could find."

"I wanted a little more room for me and my pup. ... Additionally I ’m right at 6’ tall and I always struggled to keep my feet or head off the sidewalls when I was sleeping."
"the UL3 will add quite a bit of floor space for you (almost a 50% area increase from the Flash Air 2p)"
"fits my wife and I with gear nicely (we are both tall)"

"Only damage to any of the tents (first time out in a brand new UL3) was when I walked away with the dog in the tent and she paw'd at the screen and ripped it."

"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."
"no side entry"
"Fly creek sucks. You want two side entry doors."
