This is the 6 person, true 4 season backpacking tent in the new for 2016 series of basecamp tents. These are designed for all weather conditions, including extreme rain, snow, wind, heat, and cold. This is one of the best tents under $600. The matching basecamp tents, also, are available for 4 or 6 adults. This 1236 has sets of double doors, 14 - 7 inch. Review: Very very nice tent that I totally forgot to take pictures of ( I always take pictures...) but it looks exactly as shown and has a simple setup that took me (one person) about 12 minutes to set up alone and yes I have set up at least 35 different tents in my years with a total of around 150 times of experience but I figure anyone could do this with two people in about the same time if it's your first time. The hose was ran on it and it just ran off the fly as if it was a freshly polished car on a hill, it then stayed out all night for our sprinkler system and didn't flinch. The poles seem a little small in diameter but with the tarp holding snug it may be perfect. I believe this is the best tent you can buy for the price and isn't full of screen to save money while claiming ventilation. I have those also for warmer temps also but this one can stay "tight". I will be looking at more gear and this brand and this company will be on my list of places to check. Hint: the small pole for the inside fits between two tie downs in the grommets holes across the front of the large vestibule . I am thinking of setting it up again to take pictures and maybe a video and if I do I will post. Happy camping Review: The tent came 3 days sooner than expected, and the team there reached out when they couldn't find what I ordered and simply upgraded my order, thank you!

My two sons and I packed this tent several miles into the mountains and spent two weeks. We had some rain and wind with moderate temperatures. We don’t use a heater in the tent and it was very comfortable even with a couple of nights of below freezing temperatures. We use military surplus ecws sleeping bags and insulated pads. The tent is very easy to set up and very sturdy. I use better stakes than the ones it comes with. The floor is pretty lightweight but we were able to prepare a good clean spot for setup and didn’t experience any punctures or tears. The vestibule was great for keeping our boots in the dry. The size and weight of this tent is excellent and the three of us had plenty of room for our sleeping gear and our packs. We didn’t have much condensation on the ceiling with the vents open. I highly recommend this tent to anyone that needs a true 4 season backpacking tent.

This is a great tent!!! Took it out on a Boy Scout camping trip last weekend an it performed great in the rain and wind. Absolutely no leaks and I stayed nice an warm inside. In fact too warm, I had to open up the venting to let some heat out during the night. Easy 1 person setup, 15min, and plenty of room inside. Zippers and material are both high quality with the fabric seeming to be very durable, poles are also strong/durable. One thing I didn't get from the description (I guess I overlooked it) was that it actually has two doors, with a large vestibule in front and a smallish one in back (could hold a pack, boots, maybe two small packs). There is some small venting at the top, but both doors have full door screens if desired. Like all tents cut the number of folks by half when you start including gear, but I could definitely see this sleeping 6 w/o any gear in the tent (I was solo so space definitely wasn't an issue for me on this trip). What I loved most about this tent is that it's a 4 season tent I can stand up in. I'm 5'8" and there was plenty of headroom and without any need for a lot of ducking bending while inside. I don't see myself using it a lot this summer (too warm even with the full screens in both doors, but I can't wait to get back into it this fall and winter. And you can't beat this price! Well done Moose Country!

Base 6 is bigger than i think we need but wife likes she can stand up and has room to change clothes without getting on queen mattress. Its not much heavier or bulkier than base 4 so in the end i am pleased with the size. Wish vestibule was larger but it works so not a complaint. The floor is not the cheap plastic tarp which feels great and probably responsible for some weight savings and helps when rolling up into a compact log. Plenty of stash points inside. Very wind resistant without vestibule yet easy to vent. A lot of big tents cant be picked up to shake out the dirt. This one you can which is a + in my book. Easy to put up & take down even in the wind. Probably the best tent ive had and there has been many. I cant speak to longevity but short of a larger vestibule area for storring packs this is about perfect. Checks all the boxes for what i want. At 10lbs its heavy and takes up considerable space in a pack for just us two BUT its lighter and smaller than our ultra cumphy queen matress so for luxury backpacking the size and weight is a bargan. For car camping this is smaller than most again a +.
