Freestanding tents set up easily on sand, rocks, snow or anywhere it is difficult to get a stake into the ground. You still need to stake a tent down though unless you want to risk turning it into a very expensive and disposable kite. Storage pockets inside for organizing. Nylon or polyester fabric for durability and lightest weight. One-piece floors add to waterproofness.
Steep walls increase useable interior room, shed precipitation better and help vent out humidity.
Waterproof rainfly that clips to poles and requires only minimal additional stakes. Mesh windows and doors with zippered closures for battening down the hatches when things get blustery and damp. Tent body of yellow, white or beige to let the most light in. Gear loops inside the tent to hang flashlights and more from. Beefy nylon webbing stake loops at each pole end on the tent body.
