I have used this three times since I bought it. The hot tent is strong and with a nice size to it. I would say that it is also very light and will fit in a back pack with no problem with room to spare. I am very happy with this hot tent. for info I would get some cots for it, because I put a queen mattress in it, and it fit but took up half the area. plus having a stove in it would be kind of nerve wracking with the mattress in it, but it can be done.it is very water proof so don't have to worry about rain or snow. I can put this together in 10 minutes or less. very simple. hope everyone camps safe and has a great time.
