Great concept. But bought it in 2016 though TICLA closed up in 2015. This was an REI demo. No parts list. No instructions. No help through REI.
So... set it up anyways. Mostly seems OK. A few questions, if anyone has experience with these:
how many guylines should it have? This shipped with 4. I count what looks like 8 different anchor points.
the frame- does it really just rest on the ground? A TICLA video for the Teahouse 2/3 shows the main posts fitting into corner grommets. It looks like the posts have smaller-diameter tips that help them fit into the grommets. The posts on this tent have no "ends" or "caps" - they're just open tubes. No way they'll ever fit or anchor into the narrower diameter grommets. Are there parts missing here?
Thoughts appreciated. I'm relearning camping after 30 years off and it's just as interesting as I remembered. Better with practice, I'm sure. Thanks- Colin
