We recently returned from a road trip around Vancouver island and the BC interior. The first night we camped on a little island off the big island. This had been only the 4th time we’ve used our Sierra Designs tent, and the first time in over 3 years.

Sierra Designs makes great tents from ultralight materials, that compact into teeny-tiny little packages. They’re made for real back country campers who carry everything in and out with them. Size and weight are crucial.

So, after using this tent only a couple times several years ago, and without any instructions, it still took us with no great pain only about 5 minutes to completely assemble the thing. That’s great design.
