We are getting closer to camping season each day. For this month, I wanted to bring you another tent. This one isn't as massive as the Wenzel Blue Ridge. It is just a nice cozy little 3 person tent. 

The tent is from the Tetragon HD series of tents by Eureka!. The tetragon series of tents all look pretty much the same their number tells you the number of people it will hold. I have the Tetragon HD 3, so this is a 3 person tent though they also have an HD 2, 4, 5, and 8. With the HD 8 having a room divider.

Initial thoughts are that it is easy to set up. Takes at the longest 10 minutes to get the tent up. If you have done it a few time it will take about 5 minutes to set up. it is 2 support poles and 2 Rain Fly poles. No threading poles through sleeves. You have hooks that snap on to the poles.

You have a net that is suspended at the top so you can keep your camera and other gear off the ground. The Tetragon HD 3 has a good color scheme, and perfect for the summer. The other two season for this tent are really hit and miss. The top of the tent is an open mesh. This is good for the summer so that you have some air flow. you can open the door and the back windows. Both of these have no-see-um mesh. That way ventilation is a constant when you are out in the humid summer nights. No bugs but fresh air.

I do hold an exception on the floor. As they advertise it is a washtub floor. The seams are taped and they run about a 6" up the wall. The problem I have is that the floor is made with the same material as the walls. The floor is as thin as the walls. So I don't fully know how waterproof that floor is. Will water weep into the tent if there is water on the ground?  My recommendation is to have a thick blue trap for the ground so that you have a bit of abrasion protection. These tarps are also waterproof so you wont have any water leak in at all. 

You also come with a small accessory that I actually find a bit useless. The tent comes with what is called a media center. Basically, you are supposed to be able to put a tablet in this pocket and watch movies and my thought is if I am in the woods why do I have movies running. There is the campfire, also known as Cowboy television. 

Pros
Lightweight
Easy to set up
Roomy
Great tent for first timers
Places to set camera's and other items off the ground
Yellow orientation tab - Great idea
Great Summer Tent

Cons
The floor is as thick as the walls. Needs to be thicker So you will need to get a ground tarp or buy Eureka!'s floor saver. 
Called a 3 season would actually call it a 2 season tent. Last half of spring First half of fall all of the summer.
