Torn between Tents! BA Fly Creek?

[Weather-man]

I would think some creative use of tyvek velcro'd to the inside of the tent floor would solve the potential problem of your dog's nails tearing it up. Probably would add about 6oz to the total weight.

BTW, I opted for the BA Copper spur from Moontrail. Their prices seemed reasonable.

The Copper Spur and Fly Creek use exactly the same materials in the standard models, so don't worry about that. Big Agnes does make heavier versions of many ultralight models that use heavier fabrics.

The knock on the Fly Creek is:
- rain can drip in the tent when the door is open
- front entry (narrow)
- much less headroom

The Copper Spur has a better protected entry, larger vestibule and much easier to exit cause the door is on the long end. I would say the Copper Spur 1 would FEEL just as roomy as the Fly Creek 2
