Awesome tent I got off S&C. very durable and light, especially for a 3-person tent. Mountain Hardware makes amazing tents, gear, and clothing. Can't go wrong with buying any…

The great thing about this tent is the double door/ double vestibule feature. It does have a funkier set-up than the classic X-shape, 2 pole tents, but still doesn't take mor…

The Minibus is a great tent, for a 2 person tent it is very roomy and is a great design. I am not the most experienced camper/backpacker but its very easy to set up and has p…

I recently bought this tent after having used some European brands like Salewa which I made awesome experiences with. I went camping in Iceland and survived some bigass storms…

Solid tent and quality material for a fair price. I'd recommend to other casual campers. A little heavy for bringing on a big excursion but still could be done. Roomy and perf…

IMPRESSED --- set up in about 5 min in a garage (it was raining)-- light for a 3P tent even without the guy-outs and stakes this tent was stout. LOTS! of above head stow fo…

The Minibus is a great tent in "Good Weather". This tent will not hold up in any sort of wind. Left camp for the day to go climbing and came back to see that the 20 to 25mph…

When looking for a car camping family tent, it's hard to get away from the big box store type tents. Thanks to Mountain Hardwear, there actually is a tent that you can take yo…

I've slept in The North Face Simple bivy a hand full of times now, last night was the first time in the "rain". I woke up to rain dripping on my face from the "state of the ar…

Kind of upset a footprint was not included with the actual tent, but I got it on sale anyways. It is a necessary accessory for your 3 corners tent though.…

In 2010, I merrily headed off to walk the Laugavegur in Iceland with 14 of these to hold down my Nemo Tenshi. Over 5 days of walking, 10 of the 14 stakes had their heads pop o…

I was first introduced to these stakes in the mid 90's, when I purchased a set for my North Face Tadpole. A couple of weeks ago I bought a new 'family' tent (Marmot Halo 6),…

And when they do, they wont stay clipped together. They simply weren't designed well. I'm guessing sterling bought them from china and slapped their name on them or somethin…

Maybe I'm a moron, but three of the clips broke while trying to close them around the string. Havn't ever used anything like this, so maybe I did it wrong. I did get one close…

This footprint is completely necessary if you want your tent to have a long and happy life. It adds some protection from the rain going under the tent, as well as protecting t…

It keeps the rain and rocks from punching through your floor but it adds a good amount of weight to your pack. Good to have if you are unsure of the terrain that you'll be ma…
