Black Diamond Mega Bug 4 Person A-Frame Tent Review

The Mega Bug 4 has one door and a peak center height of 4' 9, which is a little bit less than the average height of the 160 other 4 person tents we have studied. With 64 square feet of space inside, it is a tiny bit smaller than some other 4-person tents, and it could be a little cramped for you and, up to three other campers during the whole of the 3-seasons, this tent is suggested for use in, smaller tents like this one often can make a suitable choice for campers who love spending heaps of hours outside exploring the great outdoors.

A few of the cool things about a-frame tents are, that they are under normal circumstances not too heavy, making them simple to carry. In most all instances, tents used for backpacking are of the a-frame type. They are generally speaking, freestanding and very simple to set up. In calm weather, you can do without securing the tent with stakes and ropes, not that this is recommended.

A-Frame tents are easily the most common of all the other sorts of tents you will see when camping. They tend to fair better in bad weather than other types, allowing rain to roll off the sloped walls, unlike cabin tents that have flat roofs, resulting in the water pooling on the top of the tent. The most basic a-frame tent should have a square footprint, slanted walls a couple of poles which converge in the center of the roof. Due to the way they are made, it is generally thought of that they are best for up to a maximum of 6 people.

2. No windows. With no windows it is not simple to keep the tent ventilated on a hot summers night.
3. Only one door. With just one door to get out in the middle of the night, it could disturb other people that are sleeping.
4. No Vestibules. If you want to keep your dirty shoes, clothes, and backpacks protected from the rain etc, you will have to keep them inside the tent.
5. Footprint not Included. There is no included footprint, The floor may be made of 70-denier nylon but it is still best to protect it further with a footprint, more so on rough terrain.
6. Out of Stock. Unfortunately this particular tent is not currently in stock. It is still on the manufactures website the last time we looked.
7. Storage Space. because of the size of the tent, one cannot store a lot of gear inside..
