Cross Canyon 3-Person Tent

This tent is great! We took the Scouts camping this weekend. It poured Friday night and rained most of the day Saturday. We had 3 of these tents. Every single one was bone dry. They outperformed tents that cost 5 times the amount . My only regret it that we only bought 3 of them.

Those are some weird cons and it doesn't seem like they camp much or have used many different tents. 82 in is too short? Not color coded? Cheap stakes? Seem like the same stakes that come on every tent under $250. Does he expect stakes to go into rock? I bought the tent elsewhere but haven't used it yet. I bought for my kid who just joined scouts.

You need a ground cloth or something to put under it.

I used mine for the same purpose this weekend too. Same weather and I stayed dry too.

What do you mean? Is 86 inches not long enough? Or are you talking about standing up in a 3 person tent?

I picked that one up with my rebates and it’s a pretty decent tent honestly. Aluminum poles that even came with a patch kit for them! Packs down small enough for what it is as well. The Big Agnes Blacktail Hotel is a really nice tent as well that is made for bikepacking so the poles are shorter, I’ve also seen that one on sale pretty frequently.

Alps Mountaineering has bomb proof tents, but they tend to be a little heavy. Not sure why Luke on YT wouldn't like Alps Mountaineering tents, unless he was using it for backpacking. The Alps Taurus is going to be hot, it doesn't have a lot of mesh. There's the Alps Acropolis that has mostly mesh with a full rainfly and two vestibules. Another that's almost all mesh with a full rainfly and two vestibules is the Klymit Cross Canyon. I have this and it's been through some major rain, wind and thunderstorms. I bought it on Costco Next. Both of these tents have lots of headroom. I do guy out the Klymit if there's going to be inclement weather. Both of these tents have aluminum poles and clips. I'm not a fan of the sleeves like on the Nature Hike Kota 4. I have sleeves on a Eureka Space Camp 4 and I'd much rather have all clips, I find them faster to set up. The Space Camp 4 has really good headroom, but Eureka has stopped selling tents. Sometimes you can find old "new" stock pretty cheap. The Eureka Space Camp also has big vestibules. For what it's worth, I'm not a fan of the pole style on the NH Kota, I like two poles that cross each other, then possibly a brow pole, and that's it.
