It was so heavy you could barely get it out of the truck.

Gots to get ready for the Rubicon!

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I heart the Cabela's Alaskan Guide Tent, especially the large one when paired with the 7"x"10" vestibule. Open up the three large, screened doors/windows, and it's cool in the summer. When the weather gets bad, this thing is bomb-proof. You can secure it down with over 50 guy lines (rarely necessary barring a hurricane or blizzard - but better to have and not need than need and not have); very heavy, waterproof fly covers the entire tent surface area; seven heavy duty aluminum poles. Giant vestibule allows you to set up a stove/grill and cook when the wind/rain prevents doing so outside. You can stand up inside. Large enough to put tables and cots in there. One of the best designed products of any kind that I have ever owned. Not terribly cheap.
