Yeah, when you get the light floor you need to be careful- that's what duck tape is for. Can't beat the relative light weight and ease of situp, frees-tanding and easy to move around. They're the ultimate boyhood puptent except they're for real! I always think about getting a roomier more luxurious tent but thats when I pull out the MK3. I wish the carbon fiber pole supplier would make heavier duty ferrules. Any updates there anyone? Pre-taping seems to work. I repaired a split end just by wrapping it.
