    I'm starting to replace my guylines with glow-in-the-dark cords. I made 3mm glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls for my cabin tent and I didn't even need a flashlight to get out at 3:30 in the morning, I could see the zipper pulls I made. The teepee has a lot of guylines to trip on.

    How long will this tent last with continuous use?
    Also wanted to ask if it can be used for winter camping?

      I put a stove jack in it a few years ago and that worked great for cold weather but you need a big stove because it's a very large air space. For durability I'd say it should be good at least 5 years of typical use but can't confirm. I moved on last year when my needs changed.

    Hello, have you used it in weather yet, Wind or Rain ?

      No, but I have a sense of what to expect already. For rain, like any cheap tent you're always going to want to add more waterproofing spray, especially on seams, but the fabric and sewing quality appears basically identical to a typical Coleman tent so it's probably at least acceptable out of the box. For wind, it's actually pretty sturdy, but there has to be a reason they specifically advertise only up to 35mph resistance. The side guys and general shape should give it plenty of strength, but the weakness is having a single central pole that's just set into the peak with a standard tarp-pole pointed tip, and against the ground by friction. Enough side force could tip it over, and the side guys come "out" about midway up the sidewalls. If you were very worried about wind, as you erected the tent you could add four additional paracord stays from the peak to about 10' or more out from the perimeter of the tent (or to trees). That would add significant wind resistance. You could also stake the base of the pole down to the ground, which would pierce the floor tarp but not in a critical spot. The bottom of the pole has a "cup" with holes already drilled in it for this.
