Cabela's Outback Lodge?

Has anybody ever used this tent? We are thinking of getting it for the Wa high buck hunt. We would get the 8 man for 5-6 of us. Thanks Branden

what they call a 8 person is a two person tent if its raining or snowing. three people if its dry. if your backpacking in some where with 4/5 guys you might want to plan on two tents, 1 8man 1 4man. that would be a much more comfortable setup, with a leanto tarp for cooking/campfire area.the outback lodge looks like a good tent.

I have the 6 person that has been in use several years. because of the low sidewalls it is not as usable for the floor space. Three people max with gear , and everything else is outside. Not as good in the wind as one would think.All seams need to be sealed good before use. It does set up quick, good vents , lots of guy ropes to trip on.But I like it for quite trip with 2 guys and a dog.
