We didn’t expect such an issue with a product that otherwise seems well-designed and durable. No need for complicated instructions or hours of assembly; it was an effortless set up, a plus during our camping trip. And, as a bonus, it was incredibly comfortable with a good 7-foot ceiling height, providing enough room for everyone. My recent adventure with the was nothing short of unforgettable.
The Outdoor Revival Screened House by North 40 Outfitters has brought back the joy of camping while offering a practical and convenient solution. The 100 square feet of interior space provided ample room for my family and friends to enjoy the great outdoors. One of the features that stood out to me is the zippered door for easy exit and entry.
(As its name indicates, it’s meant to house six people, but we wouldn’t recommend that.) The Wireless 6 has two large doors and a full rain fly. Two large doors provide easy entry and exit, and a vestibule—that’s camping speak for “mudroom”—outside each door adds significant sheltered storage. The Mineral King 3 has a full rain fly, which you can roll up halfway or completely remove for epic stargazing. It also comes with a groundsheet (aka footprint) to protect the tent floor.
The highlight of this versatile accessory is its convenient two doors making it easy for everyone to enter and exit. The tent boasts of six oversized windows that provide ample ventilation, keeping the interior cool and well-ventilated. Our only quibble with the Mineral King 3 is that it comes with only six stakes. (Our ozark trail screen house runner-up pick comes with eight.) Six is enough to secure the tent and fly but not to fully secure the tent’s extra lines in very windy conditions. These inexpensive stakes are comparable to the ones that accompany the Mineral King 3; these slightly more expensive stakes will serve you well in any car-camping terrain.
The instructions were a bit difficult to understand, and I found myself getting frustrated as I tried to figure out where each pole went. But with the help of a friend, we were able to put the tent together in no time. However, the weight of the tent was something I had to consider. At 16.7 lbs, it may not be the lightest option, but the included carry bag made transportation and storage much easier.
