Obsidian Footprint

We haven’t had a chance to use it yet, but we set it up in the yard after delivery. It shipped immediately. This is everything they say it is. We used to use a Coleman octagon 98 with the full rain fly. So we are used to using large tents of this shape. It was great in the winter months in the south, but the southern summers were brutal. The Obsidian is not your ordinary tent.
You can tell the quality of the Obsidian as soon as it’s delivered. It came in a heavy duty cardboard box with straps around it, and when you feel the material of just the bag it comes in you know it’s some high quality stuff. After setting it up with the two of us for all of ten minutes we were so excited to get out camping this summer. All the seams were stitched very well, everything fit together perfectly, and was very intuitive to set up. It’s very roomy and very dark as they say. We love the color, most camping gear is brightly colored for high visibility, but we don’t really camp in crazy conditions so we enjoy the toned down colors. We also got the ratchet straps and the footprint. The straps are inexpensive enough and work very well you might as well get them, but the foot print is a must, it’s incredibly thick, I wanted to protect my investment and it was well worth it I think. One thing I didn’t know until it came, the stakes that come with it are really nice and stainless steel and look like they will last forever. My only disappointment is the heat shield is not in stock at the moment, but I’m told will be soon. Looking forward to many adventures when we have the whole kit.

I expect this footprint to last the life of the rapid deployment shelter and I highly recommend for the longevity of the shelter, this thing is very tough, perfectly fits the shelter when fully deployed.
