User questions & answers

Question:	Does your tent have a seam across the bottom of the floor? Does it leak at the seam
Answer:	To answer your question, yes there is interior pouches, I have hung a light off the zipper of the center divider which divides the tent in two, It's a good tent, On one of my camp outsthere was a hard gust of wind when i was breaking the tent down down, it lifted the tent up and fractured one of the poles. i contacted Browning and received an over whelmingly cool warranty service, replaced no questions asked, they stand behind there product, an i am not only happy but impressed. Thanks, Mark Woodburn
Question:	Is it 3.5lbs with everything included (tent, poles, fly, stakes, etc
Answer:	No there is not, I applied additional sealant to the tent just as a failsafe. This tent is no question the highest quality I have ever purchased and it is deserving of the Browning name.
Question:	I see the pack weight but not dimensions. How big is this guy packed up
Answer:	I haven’t had any problems with seat repeatedly becoming wet. I take the chair to church, ball games,, swimming pool and beach and have no issues. I have owned the chairs for two years. Also the seat dries very fast.
Question:	What is the center height
Answer:	I haven't actually weighed the chair, but I would say that the 9 lb weight is accurate. I have no problems lifting the chair to move it, and I am in my 70s.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this tent have vents
Answer:	Hello! The center height for our ALPS Mountaineering 6-Person Tent is 72", at a 6' center height I would say an average person could stand up in the middle of this tent. Let us know if we can help you with any other questions. Thanks!

With the vestibule on, it provides an extra 225 sq. ft. of storage space. Please let us know if you have any further questions and we will be happy to assist you! Thank you!
Question:	What is the length and width of the floor of this tent
Answer:	It does, but like most tents, it’s much harder to squeeze it in after your 1st use. I spent a few bucks and bought a larger carry case. It’s so much easier to put the tent away now. I do this with all my tents and sleeping bags.

User questions & answers

Question:	would it fit queen air bed
Answer:	There is some confusion in the description. I assumed by the wording that it did. The vestibule does have a footprint but the tent floor does not. I bought a footprint at bass pro for the tent floor. Alpine I believe is the manufacture. As far as I can tell that is the only brand sold at bass pro.
Question:	what is the waterproof index of the fly and the bottom of the tent
Answer:	Dear Customer, Please send a E-mail to us about your mailing address and phone number, we will send you a replacement pole. Thank you!
Question:	Does this fit nicely in a backpack in terms of weight/size
Answer:	This tent wont come for anybody.
Question:	What type of tent poles does this tent include
Answer:	Yes when the rainfly is off this tent has a lot of exposure to the sky.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do the poles go through the grommets on both the tent and the saver
Answer:	Mine spins just fine. I do find it to be too light however. Often times it'll come with me when I try to pull off a piece of tape.
Question:	i ordered the floor saver and the package was delivered open and empty, how do i go about fixing this when i have no item to exchange or replace
Answer:	No it doesnt but i can throw in some free tape if you purchased in.
Question:	How is the floor Saver 1/3 the price of the tent
Answer:	Don't think you can buy any but I once was able to retrofit a small piece of a small saw blade. The cutter on a waxed paper carton might work. Good luck.
Question:	When unfolded, wouldn't the footprint be the same as the tent floor minus 3" on each side? Or 26"? Nothing for the vestibule
Answer:	Hello, Tape Size: 1" core tape, up to 3/4" wide and 1500" long. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this tent good for backpacking
Answer:	It's about a foot and a half long, give or take a few inches, depending how you pack it. It's about 6" around, again give or take an inch depending how much you compress. It's too large for the inside of small and some medium packs. Straps to outside of any pack just fine.
Question:	Since the picture does not show the rain fly, does it cover the door and does it prevent rain from coming into the entrance of the tent
Answer:	I'm 5'11 290 pounds and I fit in this thing pretty well...there isn't too much room to move around  but it's awesome just for sleeping and I could fit my backpack in there also. it weighs around three and a half pounds
Question:	is this suitable for cold weather---not winter, just cold weather? and is it waterproof
Answer:	The entire tent is mesh, and the rainfly is separate from the tent. There is about a 1" gap between the two, so what condensation does form, will be on the outside of the tent, and run down to the ground.
Question:	do I need hammer and stakes to make this stand? It says it is free-standing...I am going to a rocky terrain and don't want to lug hammer
Answer:	YES. At your head or your feet. I camped with this tent and an Alice pack. The pack and my boots were above my pillow. I'm 6' 2". A little hard to get in and out of but worth the trade off in space and weight savings.

User questions & answers

Question:	would it fit queen air bed
Answer:	Hello, the queen bed will fit but push against the wall at both ends especialy with a higher mattress as the walls slope in.. I use a 13 Inch high Intex full and it leaves space on one side to store and dress. Better to go with the Lynx 6 person if you would like to use a queen mattress that's got any height to it. If you don't need any floor space then go for it!
Question:	what is the waterproof index of the fly and the bottom of the tent
Answer:	Hello, the coating on the fly is 1500mm polyester, and the coating on the floor is 2000mm polyester. I hope this answer finds you well. Thanks!
Question:	Does this fit nicely in a backpack in terms of weight/size
Answer:	I say yes, it weighs under 7 lbs packed and the packed size is 7" x 23.5". Someone please find me a tent that is 7'6 x 8'6 (64 sq ft.) that has these specifications? This is the roomiest backpacking tent you will find. I can easily tie it to the bottom or the side of my backpack. If you want a lot of tent space and the flexibility of a backpacking tent, this is the way to go.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the width and what does it taper down to
Answer:	I would highly recommend this tent. The features are pretty unique and allows for comfortable maneuvering when sitting in the tent. I also own a Mountainsmith Morrison 2 that is fantastic. Weight is similar between the two.
Question:	How is the tent in cold weather? is camping into december with this tent,i live in indiana, a wise decision
Answer:	Not sure about dimensions. Check manufacturer website. I used this tent on one ten day trip to utah last fall. It was primarily dry like a desert. There were two nights where it was gusty with thunderstorms. We stayed perfectly dry.
Question:	Does this tent have any real condensation issues? I live in Georgia so it stays hot and steamy
Answer:	I have done quite a bit of winter camping and you don't want to use this tent for winter. The problem with any tent with ventilation mesh is that the snow can fill it when you are setting it, also can come up under the rain fly and fill the tent, wet sleeping bags. All 4 season tents should have a solid fabric body, I have learned the hard way, while tarp camping in winter I had snow everywhere and the only thing that saved me was a waterproof bivwac sac (an Adventure Medical Thermo-Lite Bivy, a great product!!). In winter when things go wrong it can go very wrong quickly, you want a snow proof shelter.
Question:	Hi there! can you tell me what's difference between alps mountaineering mystique 1.5 tent and alps mountaineering mystique 1.0 tent
Answer:	This is exactly the tent you want for backpacking. It weighs just at 5# and is 18" long and 61/2" in diameter. It's small enough that I pack it inside my 75 liter Alps backpack but it would certainly strap to the outside if you wanted to. This is a GREAT backpacking tent, especially for the money. Don't hesitate to buy one.

User questions & answers

Question:	Looking at this tent, but wondering if I would need to buy a tarp to go under the tent in case of wet ground? How waterproof is the tent floor
Answer:	The zcM0800-WT is designed to work with thin film tapes such "Scotch tape". Many masking tapes would be more suited for other tape dispensers from START International. Contact START using "Live Expert" and they can advise the correct tape dispenser for your tape and application.
Question:	what are the inner dimensions of the tent only
Answer:	A "roll holder" is also known as a core holder. The zcM0800-WT comes with a 1" and 3" core holders. If your 1/2" wide tape has a 1" or 3" hole in the middle, the zcM0800-WT will be able to accommodate it.
Question:	What is the packed size
Answer:	Replacement blades are available for purchase on Amazon. The ZCM0800P140 is a set of 10 replacement blades for the zcM0800-WT
Question:	Does this tent have a full rain fly
Answer:	The zCM0800-WT was not designed to cut heavy, thick masking tape. This entry-level tape dispenser can only cut simple film tapes such as scotch tape. You need to purchase the zcM1000C to handle the much thicker masking tape. The zcM1000C has a much stronger blade, stronger motor, and was created to handle “flimsy” tapes such as masking. You can purchase the zcM1000C on Amazon.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can you fit a full size cot in this
Answer:	Yes! Our AccuPoint Active Stylus is designed to work with all devices that have a capacitive touch screen!
Question:	Can the Tipi be pitched without the inner mesh area or is that integrated into the outer fly
Answer:	I believe it is just for the stylus.
Question:	Is the place in the middle where the pole stands a hole in the floor or not
Answer:	Don't know for sure, but I rather doubt it. The Fire is not intended to be a graphics drawing tablet. But, I recommend that you contact the tech people at Amazon and ask them.
Question:	Is it waterproof
