I admit that I wasn't thrilled about dropping so much on a tent, especially once it arrived in a very large and heavy box. "What have I gotten myself into?!" I even considered returning it but I pushed through and took it on a camping trip on the Washington coast. It took a little bit of time figuring out how to assemble it (note: ignore user video instructions on Youtube that will only confuse you and waste your time) but it was our first time and the printed instructions attached to the bag made perfect sense. Then we went inside and it was just wonderful and airy. I slept so well inside it each night.

I didn't worry about tracking a little dirt/leaves/pine needles inside because the stiff, slick surface of the floor made it so easy to clean.

I love the many windows the CJ100 has. Throughout the day I keep them wide open to let the fresh air in and also to help dry out any moisture that might've accumulated inside and also the morning dew on the outside.

Disassembling the tent was also a learning process because we were careful to fold and roll it up the same way it came packaged. This isn't difficult if you just pay attention to the instructions (and helpful to snap a few photos as you first unpack it). It was so much easier the second and third time.

The "nail" stakes were more than sufficient for grounding the tent on the windy beaches we camped on. These things are so much beefier in person than they look online.

I definitely recommend getting the heavy duty ground tarp; this was crucial in sparing the tent floor from wet dirt and moisture from the drizzle run-off. It took about 15-20 minutes to dry off but then it was fine to fold up (follow the creases to get it to pack just right!) Also, get the StormFly. I didn't order this and realized on the first morning that it is absolutely essential out here in the Pacific Northwest.

Lastly, the super-durable canvas bags the tent and poles come in have handles all over but I only use the bag handles to prop the bags upright so that I can squat down to lift the bags (YES, ONE AT A TIME) onto one of my shoulders. This will spare your hands, wrists, and forearms from so much exhaustion when you're transporting the bags to and from your vehicle.

Just used my new Springbar Classic Jack 100 for the first time camping for several days at about 9,000 feet elevation in the Manti-La Sal National Forest (central Utah). My past experience of over 70 years of camping includes old canvas umbrella tents, wall tents, lightweight backpacking tents, and modern nylon car camping tents. The Classic Jack is unique and excellent. I was alone except for a Golden Retriever. The tent pitched (and struck) easily without the dog's help. It was stable and quiet in the stiff afternoon winds. I'm confident it will perform well in rain and snow this fall.

So far So good 👍👍👍
Easy set up 🏕️ and 10x10 size is large space enough for 2 👫
💪Strong and stable in Windy City (Chicago)
I’m strongly recommended 🤎
Now.I am a big fan of Spring bar tent

Received my order in 3 days!
I pitched it in the yard, and set-up was simple and easy. After inspecting every seam and zipper, I gave it a hose-down as some recomend, but it's not necessary. It didn't leak a drop after spraying it from every angle. Top notch product!
It's sumer here in AZ, so I'm waiting for cooler weather to head to the forest. An absolute palace for my solo camping!
Also ordered the Storm Fly, which should arrive soon.

Very happy with the Classic Jack 100. Setup of the tent was as easy and as described in the video. Tent arrived timely and quality is as described. Tent survived recent thunderstorms with some very high winds. I especially like the lack of lines needed to setup and keep the tent secure. Less lines means less area necessary for set up and to trip on at night. Recommend the tent highly for car camping.
