My cloudburst arrive yesterday!!! I was so excited that I set it up in my living room (I put nails thru the carpet). I am amazed on how light, small it packs, and the amount of room at the entrance.

My questions are???
Stock stakes or sheppards hook style, and do any of you carry extra?

There are a few elastic loops at the four corners where the poles and the roof material meet. I am assuming you wrap these under the poles.

Do you use the extra guys outs on a regular basis.

Stuff or roll it up for packing?

It was 4:30a when I was playing, so I didnt spend a whole lotta time.

I've had the cloudburst for 3 years, excellent tent. I asked Henry about rolling of stuffing the tent, he said it didn't matter. I regularly use the groundcloth and stake on all six stake loops around the exterior. I have not had to use the guylines. Stretch it before you go to sleep, it might sag a little if you don't. Good luck with it. also, if you have any trouble at all Henry will get you taken care of. He turned around a fix over a weekend so I could do one of my hikes.
