I've been looking for a durable easy setup/takedown tent to put my bedding in when I want to close up the eezi awn and explore...

I was looking at the latest outdoor photographer magazine and found this
www.decathlontent.com (http://www.decathlontent.com) It seems like it's all that I'm looking for at only $69.

Anybody ever used one of these or know of anything similar?

That is a knock off of the Czechoslovakian military tent (http://www.army-shop.cz/index.php?action=item&id=1459).
PopTent Inc (photo) (http://www.army-shop.cz/images/products/stan%20vyhazovaci.JPG). was the same with the door on the side. I still have the two man that I bought on ebay for $20. It is an excellent tent and I used it for years. Firefighting, camping, etc.

With a growing family I found the need for a larger version. That need has been satisfied by a Cascade Quickdraw (http://www.camptents.com/SpecPages/PopUpTents/PopUpTentCascade/cascade.htm). It easily sleeps four with room to stand upright and plenty of room for gear.

I say buy one! You will not be displeased. Stowing can be a challenge for the "big frizbee", but well worth the inconvenience when you pull in from a day beating the roads. Two seconds and tent is up!
