Hi everyone! I have done two separate videos of me setting up for REI Half Dome 2 tent and tearing it down. Just so you don’t have to search for it, here they are back to back 🙂 Feel free to post a comment! And be nice! The setting up was my first instructional video and I had a big scarf AND kept getting it wrong- still set it up in under 5 minutes!!! 🙂
