review {"campsaver":{"score":["5.0"],"users Review":["this Is A Great 4 Season Tent For You And Your Friends. The Setup Inside Looks Like Your Traditional Octagon Tent, With Some Well Thought Out Vents By Your Head And Feet That Also Zip Shut In Winter. To Accompany The Side Vents, The Rain Fly Has Stake Loops And Guy Lines To Pull The Fly Further From The Tent And Allow More Ventilation. I've Heard Some Say It Would Be Tight 3 Person Fit, But I Completely Disagree With That. Three People Has Been Very Comfortable, And I Could See Even Squeezing In A Fourth If Needed. It's Roomy Enough Inside To Have 4 Or 5 People Playing Cards In The Middle, And Tall Enough To Change Comfortably. The Vestibules Are Nicely Set Up, And Allow Enough Room To Easily Cook In The Front. The Way The Zipper Is Cut Allows You To Have The Vestibule Open In The Rain Or Snow Without Getting The Tent Door Wet, And Also Makes For A Great Cooking Place To Release Excess Heat In Bad Weather. I Have Two Small Problems With This Tent Though- In Nicer Warmer Weather If You Want To Fold Back The Main Door, And Keep The Mesh Door Closed, The Loops To Roll The Door Into Are Way Way Too Big, And Come Undone. The Let The Door Just Unravel, And Basically Lay Open. I'm Planning On Cutting Mine, And Stitching Them To About 1/4 The Size. The Next Beef Is With The Stakes. It Comes With Great Snow Stakes, But They Hurt Like Hell When Trying To Push Them In. The Top Is An X Shape, Which Just Digs Into Your Hand In Tough Snow, Or Dirt In Late Fall. You Really Have To Use Something Like An Ice Axe, Or Rock To Put On Top To Push With. I've Spent A Lot Of Nights In Storms Sitting In This Tent, And Haven't Had Any Issues With Water Getting In. If You Are Camping In Sand And The Door Gets Wet, Watch Out When You Open It Up, Because It Tends To Fall Onto The Ground And Cover Itself With Sand Until Dry. As Far As Wind, Snow, And Storms Go, It's Bomb Proof. So Many Guy Lines, Stakes, And Great Construction Make This A Great Choice In All Environments. It's Truly Free Standing, Meaning All The Room Inside Is Open Unlike Some 'free Standing' Tents I've Used. It's A Great Buy That You'll Use For Years And Years. It's A Decent Price For The Weight And Versatility, You'll Be More Than Happy."],"source":"http://www.campsaver.com/royal-flush-3-tent-3-person-4-season"},"moosejaw":{"source":"http://www.moosejaw.com/moosejaw/shop/product_big-agnes-big-house---4-person-tent_10044060_10208_10000001_-1_","users Review":["the Big Selling Feature On This Tent Is The Vestibule. It's Huge!!! I Can't Even Think Of How Many Times We've Sat In Our Camp Chairs Inside The Vestibule During A Rain Storm With The Side Door Open Watching The Rain Come Down. Think Of It As A Covered Porch. It's So Big We Also Had Several Action Packers And Roll Up Table Setup In The Vestibule. I Also Loved Being Able To Get All My Camping Gear In The Vestibule Out Of Sight While We Were Out Paddling For The Day. This Is A Great Tent Should Not Be Bought Without The Optional Vestibule Which Makes The Tent So Much More Functional For Base Camping."]}}
