Selecting a Tent
Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Expect the Worst
In general, it's wise to choose a tent that's designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you'll face. For instance, if you're a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all purpose tent will likely do the trick--especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in! If you're a backpacker, alpine climber or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you'll want to take something designed to handle more adversity.
Three- and Four-Season Tents
For summer, early fall and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain-fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are more specifically designed for summer backpacking and other activities. Many premium tents will feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain-fly for enhanced waterproofness.
For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive.
Domes, Tunnels and Sacks
Tents are broadly categorized into two types, freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and those that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor-plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being more lightweight. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome.
Size Matters
Ask yourself how many people you'd like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you're a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don't need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters.
Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is also available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it's easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It's also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you're considering.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Quick and Comfortable
The Uinta has great appeal for a quick-stop of one night or 3 or 4. Set-up is quick and easy, with or without stakes, (but they're recommended). Windy or rainy conditions with guy-outs and the fly take considerably longer, but it's still quick. I don't yet know about wet conditions, but the deep tub floor looks good. In fact, the whole tent looks good, from inside or out. My only other quick-set was a Camel SST, which was both smaller and hot and stuffy, except under cool conditions. This company's logo is a camel. Hmmmmm. If it's the same people, they hit a home run with this new one.
It's well laid out, with a roomy square floor footprint and a modified dome. The "front porch" apron and well-hooded door are nice. I have always divided by two when it comes to the number of people comfortably accomodated, and this tent is no different, but two should find more comfort and convenience than average for this type of tent.
There is plenty of ventilation, fully...

Great Tent!!
Went on a scouting tent outing and it rained all night. We stayed dry! Could not believe it! Nice 3 season tent. As advertised easy to set up and take down. Cool tent.
Coolest Tent i've ever owned!
This is by far the greatest family/car camping tent i have ever owned and i've owned a few. I only say car camping because it's really big (which is nice) and weighs a little too much for hard core backpacking. You could hike in with it, but wouldn't want to take it on a thru hike.
That being said, this thing is amazing. I pulled it out, unfolded the legs, lifted up and pushed the center piece together and my tent was up. My wife turned around and couldn't believe it, my job was done! Before bed we put the rain fly on and again, what a great piece of gear. Complete "FULL" coverage and so fast and easy to use, each corner has a snap buckle and it was on. Plus, the front porch area is HUGE. The perfect place for our wet shoes and other gear.
Not sure what else to say, but you won't be dissapointed.
