Screen Tent in 60 sec. !!!

Question

Clam Quick-Set Escape screen tent60 second one-man setup.  Seriously!Typical laborious tent assemblyThe Clam screen tent is awesome!  It really does set-up in about one minute.  Best camping purchase I've made.  Highly recommended, though not cheap.Construction quality is excellent and fabric appears durable.  Clam is the #1 supplier of ice fishing shelters, so they know their business.  Optional side panels mount easily on exterior.Note:  Collapsed (storage) size is SIX feet by ~16 inches, ~40 lbs.  So you need to consider where to store a six foot cylinder when not deployed.

My biggest issue is with their "comparison" set-up video.  If the clam is so simple, then they shouldn't need to fake the other tent's set up to prove it.  That sort of manipulation irks me major.

I picked up a Coleman "Instant" screened canopy, 11'x11' at Costco a few years ago.  It's about 90sec to set up or take down, more to put in the bag.  $80 IIRC.

Takes her less than 2 minutes to erect.  If it wears out in a few years or blows away in a typical FL summer mid-afternoon thunderstorm, at least she didn't lose $300+To the OP, that is a really nice tent and thanks for sharing.
