I have both the four and eight person versions of this tent. I’ve been camping in the PNW for decades and they’ve taken everything Nature has thrown at them.
I have this tent and it’s a beast. It’s by far the most sturdy tent I’ve ever had.
Yep Alaska Guide Tent is the model we have. 4 person for two of us.
Same here. The Cabela’s alaskan guide tents are great, but heavy. Definitely wouldn’t want to backpack with one. I’ve got a North Face, can’t remember the name but it’s their version of the rei half dome. Bought it used in the early 2000s and it’s still going strong.
