Very Easy to use and set up, along with pretty light. I was surprised at how 
easy it was to set up in the Wind. I am 6 foot 230 and I am comfortable in

Thanks Dustin.

Was the tent comfortable and easy to use? I've read mixed reviews and am
looking for a one person light tent. The thing is that I'm 260 pounds -
5'11" and use the wider Big Agnes sleeping bags.

Yes, That is a 22t White industries Freewheel.  I would have been SOL 
without it. When I hit the road at Rock City it was pretty smooth sailing 
up. with a little grinding here and there.

Rene Here is the Gear list:

Up Front in the Basket and Bag

-BigAgnes Seedhouse SL1
-Sweater
-MUSA Pants
-Wool Gloves
-Beanie
-Wool cap
-Down Vest(pillow) and a change of undies
-Camera/Tripod
-Phone
-Munchies

In Back in the Medium Saddle Bag
-Sleeping Bag
-Esbit Stove, MSR cooking cup, Coffee,tea and MSR Coffee Filter
-Bag of Snacks and Food
-Tools, Tube etc...
-ThermaRest Pad lashed to the back.
-Buck 110 for Protection
-Light
-Lunch/dinner( I had another backpackers pantry dinner but it was way to 
windy to even heat up water)
-Dehydrated granola w/milk for Bkfast(it was actually really good
-A few other things that I didn't use 

I could have gone lighter, I didn't use everything I brought. better safe 
than sorry, I guess.
