Backpacking on a budget - Kelty All Inn 2P Tent

I’m sure there are better tents at the $500 + price that seems to be “normal” in the world of backpacking, but I don’t think $300 to save pound is a great deal. Probably if I was packing 1000 miles I’d feel different. At this price point all the competition seems to be either smaller and less practical or heavier. My intent is to use this for solo backpacking (I’ve only done a back yard test so far). I bought it because I grew up using A frame tents and liked having a front door with a window I could leave open in all but the most extreme weather. For my test run I left the front window open and the side door rainfly rolled up and the ventilation seemed great. Set up was 10 minutes for my first try so should be less with practice. Only need 6 stakes total unless it’s really windy as it has a sturdy feel with the 4 corners staking both the tent and rainfly and 2 additional stakes for the fly vestibules (only one of which opens but staking the other helps with ventilation and keeping things dry inside, a big deal in Maryland’s humidity). 4 more stakes and guy lines are included and can give support if it gets windy, but otherwise you won’t need them as the tent’s structure is solid without them. One reviewer complained about the stakes but I found them strong and light. I was particularly drawn to being able to leave a window open in the rain (it rains a lot on the East coast) both for ventilation and the view. Plenty of room for one person which is how I intend to use it. Two would be uncomfortable which I think is true of all 2 person tents. Take down is quick and easy and everything fits easily into the included bag. If it turns out to have issues down the road I will try to update this but so far I really like it.
Pros:
Value, designed for ventilation even in the rain, flexible options for entry and exit
Cons:
None
Best Used for:
one person
Would Recommend:
Yes
