I'm curious, does anyone know how they get the pack weight down to the 3# 10oz??? I mean the stakes can't weight that much, right? As I watched the video I didn't see any way there was an option to Not carry everything. Sure you can ultalite w/ aftermarket stakes, but I don't see the stakes as being 3/4# of weight. Also, I'm wondering what happened when that little clip at the top doesn't perform. It isn't like one could just use some floss or a small nite ize reusable cable tie to correct that if it failed in the field, not my my eyes anyway, anyone have any other input on this? I love the price, but, I'm leery.

VaderI'm kicking my self because this tent just arrived two days ago from Amazon for alittle bit more than the cost here.
I can't answer the second question, the rain has kept me from doing a test of the tent, good companies would stand by there product and replace broken bits usually.
But the stakes are about as heavy as the poles remarkably. They seem to be anodized aluminum, I don't have a scale to weigh it all, but you would easily cut a third of the weight, it is free standing. I live in a place where wind can get up to 80km/h so I wouldn't dare try. All three components that make up the tent are already pretty light though.
