So? I'm hiking a few feet from the subaru to the camp spot, or the backyard for when kids want to use it. The day i decide to hike into a remote mountain lake and do it more then once, is when i will consider the ultralight 2oz 4 season tent people like you use while scoffing at a backyard tent of 10lbs.
Got the two I ordered from Walmart on 12/30. seem very nice. I had looked at some others on Decathlon's site (was going to get a lighter 2 person for my son) and shipping killed it. Didn't matter if you met the free shipping minimum, clearance and oversized items don't count for free shipping. Shipping was like $45 from them. Even when I removed the tent and just had a sleeping bag (yeah, not exactly small) and some roller blades, it was still ~$45 for shipping.

camping... tents.. alone in the woods. 3 people ... and
"4x guy ropes"
is there something I'm missing? is this intended to be used in in the Brokeback mountains?
I understand this is 3 season. But I have a snow camp trip with my son coming up and was wondering if this could withstand cold / snow on the ground. Type of camp. Not necessarily being snowed on. My currently 3 season is great for summer and spring but lousy once ot gets kinda cold.
No. Won't hold up to snow load or high winds. Elevation? When I camp in the back county in the northern Rockies where severe weather can blow in unexpectedly I use an expedition tent like Mountain Hardwear Trango. Nothing less will hold up to high winds and blizzard conditions. The poles are strong alloy. Trango survived Sturgis hail storms in August that flattened every other tent around. Perhaps you can rent something similar for the trip.
Hrmmm, I like the look and design, but the tent is 6'8" long and I am 6'3" tall. I don't think it's going to work for me. Any tall people have comments?

Guy rope = guy lines = the tensioning ropes that attach to the middle/tops of tents & you stake out to keep the tent taught, pull out their shape to maximize internal space, keep them from flying away in wind, etc.

Guy is from the dutch word "Gei" which means "Guide", they were the lines used to control the mast of the ship, so they are "Guide Lines"
Probably not the best usage of the word as the lines from your tent don't actually guide anything, they do still catch / deflect wind like old ships though.

Depends on what you're doing with the tent and how good you are at picking & preparing your tent site. Footprints do three things.
1) provide abrasion & puncture resistance to the bottom. So if you're setting up on rocks/gravel or lots of sticks, etc. it will help keep you from destroying the irreplaceable underside of the tent.
2) extra water barrier. In rain & snow, it provides an extra barrier against wetness coming in through the bottom. Ditto if you have no choice but to set up on wet ground. Any normal tent has some protection already but in wet or even damp conditions, a footprint can mean the difference between a dry tent floor or not.
3) small bit of insulation in cold conditions. The ground is by far the thing that will sap any heat. In cold conditions, that's a tiny bit more insulation, partly for reason #2. Wet = cold. So you could find a leafy or thick grassy spot and get a boost that way but you run the risk of damaging the underside via #1 without a footprint.
All that said, if you're skilled at site prep, have a good tent, and aren't rough on your equipment or using gear that can poke holes in it (like certain cots with pokey legs), a lot of folks don't bother. Me, I always use one. Don't know if this brand has one but if they don't make one you can always get a sheet or two of Tyvek house wrap from the hardware store or a local construction scrap & cut it to size. You want it to be a couple of inches smaller than the tent's bottom fabric & not stick out any.
Great brand excellent price. A little bit heavy if you're hiking, but for short hikes and camping will work. Dont forget to look for ground padding & floor isolation.
Not sure the ventillation screen is no see um proof. Important for some areas. For those who received theirs, can you comment on this? is it a regular mosquito net or a fine mesh? Thanks

A footprint isn't "necessary", it protects the bottom of your tent and if properly placed, will keep water from pooling under your tent.
