>>2741837I was in BSA when I was younger.
These are standard issue for them.
Used them in all weather from soupy as fuck summer heat to teens (°F) temperatures outside.
They're heavy as fuck and I'd hate to have to carry one on a backpack trip, but they are built like a brick shithouse.
We had ones in our troop that were probably 30 years old, maybe more, and these were always put up, used, and taken down by children, so you can imagine the sort of abuse some of these suffered.
I assume the build quality is the same as it used to be. They're absolutely top notch in that regard but they do absolutely nothing for weight savings.
It's not super breathable either. The white panels aren't bad but they're more solid than not. The majority of your ventilation is going to come from the ends.
The ones we used had flys with two shock cords per side that were separate from the tent, that would stake into the ground.
We may have had the 3 person model. Either way still built like a tank. 10/10 tent for the purpose it's designed for.
