yeah, not bad for an iphone photo.
Thanks, all my mtn. biking friends were calling it the compound. Worked out very nice. I had this set up right outside the rear door.
i have a SD tent for about 15 yrs and used it about 75-100 times. Good quality, I don't know about today's quality. What I like are the clips, instead of the sleeve for the retention of the the tent poles. Higher grade aluminum poles that won't fray on the end like fiberglass poles. The tent colors (usually blue and yellow) allows a more natural light appearance inside the tent. The fly goes completely around(and down) the tent so wind driven rain from the side is reduced.
It's the best tent I've had and I have many tents. The other tents that I have are mostly basic consumer types that I let friends use if they don't have one. For the most part you are never too far away from a hotel room if you are camping with family so having a good backpacking tent that SD makes isn't too necessary. The most important part is keeping the water out and having enough space for family to feel comfortable. That means being to enjoy the tent when it is raining and being able to insert a queen (or any inflatable) mattress into it. Easy set-up is a plus and that's when the clips help out a lot. That's just another viewpoint about tents.
