"Super easy. ... Took about 20-30 minutes"
"sets up in under 3 min including stake out time. ... Take down is just as fast and it fits in its storage bag with out much fuss. ... set up in under 90 seconds 120 if you putting in stakes."

"It is basically the same sent, but 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."
"it has 2 doors"

"uppababy has amazing customer service ... if you buy the travel bag and use it while flying, they will overnight you a new stroller if it breaks."
"Then one of them started to produce a high pitched noise every now and then, called them and they sent me, get a load of this, a brand new one, sealed, worth 700 euros. Not a single question asked, just straight RMA"
"For me the thermarest warranty has been worth its weight in gold ... every interaction I’ve had with them has been amazing, no questions asked replacement or repair"

"after 2 years needs replacement parts (grill, pan, and basket). The cost to replace these parts is nearly equal to buying a new unit."
"Big Agnes quoted me $109.99 for a new poleset (plus postage to the UK) which seemed too much. ... They did mention I could buy individual segments for cheaper, but that's still a lot of money because of the postage"

"Personally snapped a three season tent on rainier from the wind a few seasons ago. Granted it was a big Agnes tiger wall."
"My only comment on Big Agnes in my experience is that the tents are fragile because they are so ultralight. ... I’ve had my Copper Spur poles snap twice. ... it’s not great when you’re in the back country and you’ve got to hold everything together with duck tape just to make it through the rest of the trip."

"Tigerwall tents will not work. ... I tried them and at 6'2" they were both too small."
"too short for 6' humanoid male"
"I have a North Face tent that I thought was a great find, just to find out it's so tiny inside it annoys me (I think it is only around 80")."
I have a Big Agnes. Love the tent and love the brand.
r/overlanding • Tent Recommendations ->Big Agnes, MSR, and Nemo are 3 of the best tent brands available. I ran the warranty desk for an outdoor gear company, and saw the least amount of warranty issues with those brands. They’re not inexpensive, but, you get what you pay for. I have a Big Agnes tent that’s at least 10 years old, we use it regularly and only have to hose the dirt off. It’s amazing. Nemo is awesome too, I know a lot of people with Nemo tents and they love them. I just got an MSR 3 person tent and absolutely love it. Definitely get a 2 person tent. The general rule is to take however many people will be sleeping in the tent, and add 1. So 1 person = 2 person tent, 2 ppl = 3 person tent and so on. A 2 person tent is more comfortable for having your gear inside the tent, changing your clothes, etc. If you don’t plan to go backpacking with it, I’d get a 3-4 person tent just for the space.
r/CampingGear • What brands or types of tents should I be looking to get? ->Big Agnes Tiger Wall. Get the 3 person if either of you are over 5’7”. My husband and I are both 5’7”-ish and barely fit inside the Tiger Wall 2. I love it though, it has 2 doors, is easy enough to set up and pretty comfortable for an ultralight backpacking tent. I do NOT recommend the Fly Creek, at all. I had one for a good section of my thru hike and it was so uncomfortable to climb in and out of. I hate that overall design.
r/AppalachianTrail • Lightweight fully enclosed tent ->We have the Tiger Wall and while it FEELS really delicate, we haven't had any issues so far. My only complaints is that it's a bit fussy to get the fly taut and you have to be very careful not to zip the fabric of the fly into the zipper when you're opening or closing the vestibule. Despite having done it MANY TIMES now I have yet to rip the material.
r/WildernessBackpacking • Suggestions for a backpacking tent that is a reasonable weight but isn't "Ultralight"? ->I just bought both of these. Steep and cheap had the tiger wall on sale for $160 so it seemed like a great back up to have
r/CampingandHiking • How much should you pay for a high quality one-person tent? ->After dealing with a warranty issue with Durston I would rather deal with Big Agnes
r/Ultralight • Big Agnes' new ultralight tents (VST) coming in January 2026 ->Big Agnes warranty and customer service help is top-notch. I sent them an email earlier this week and they responded within minutes with a fix that allowed me not to send the tent in and repair it myself.
r/CampingGear • Gearlabs top 19 tents are all 200$+. One is even over a thousand. Are those of ua getting the 70$ amazon special really buying junk?! ->Try the REI re/supply. I got a Big Agnes tent that retails for $499 for $134. Also, REI sale is coming up in a few weeks and there will probably be a good deal on their own brand tents and others.
r/CampingGear • Need advice regarding a Packable tent ->https://geartrade.ca/ they stock a bit of budget gear and they are not amazon. Also try thelasthunt.com, and https://www.sportchek.ca/en.html they can have some good gear in clearance. I really enjoy my big agnes tent and they are available in long, but they are pricy when not on sale.
r/CampingandHiking • Question about budget backpacking tents. ->Ive had my big agnes longer than any other tent ive owned so far! I think its at least ten years old.
r/CampingGear • What brands or types of tents should I be looking to get? ->Paria is a glorified dropshipping company. Durston and Big Agnes are good options, you don't need anything more niche honestly
r/CampingandHiking • Alternatives to the big names/lesser known companies? (Tents) ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
