These are the ones in my collection...

This one would be way better if it came in dark green or something OTHER than blue, but I gotta say, it's a damn good tent.
I got in 2019 and camped in it for a bit, then I put it away in a shed without even folding it back down...
In preparation for summer, I headed out to the shed today to do some cleaning and make sure all my gear is clean and ready.
I plan to use my other tents primarily, so I thought I'd try finally folding this blue tent. I had attempted it back in 2019 but it just wasn't working.
Anyway, to my delight, it folded easy as pie. I had watched a few how-to videos over the years and remembered the basics...
9:48 this guy had the best technique I'd ever seen and it finally stuck with me.
Since it had been out in a shed experiencing all the temp/humidity fluctuations of the south for YEARS, I had anticipated the poles might just break when I attempted to fold it...
But nah. The whole process was butter smooth and I was totally impressed.
I got this mosquito net tent at the same time as the other one...

That isn't the exact listing since I actually got it from AliExpress. If I remember correctly, it has a solid (tarp-like) bottom. But even if it's a mosquito net bottom, doesn't really matter, it's going on top of a tarp anyway.
It was still new in the box and I just opened it today. I didn't take it out of the covering though, so it's still folded and whatnot.
It's a bit smaller than the blue one so it fit right into a 40 gal. trash bag easily.
Gotta be honest, I didn't even remember buying that one, so I landed ANOTHER mosquito net tent back in 2022...

This one has the solid bottom too, and a section at the top where it does provide a tiny bit of cover from the sun.
I think when I camp this summer, I'll just stick to the mosquito net tents. There's no need for the full-on tent (IMO) if the weather is nice.
I don't mind being on display to the whole world, it'll be totally fine. Maybe Bigfoot will even come and visit me!
