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!!! 🙂

I talk about this tent all the time and now I can actually show you! REI’s Half Dome 2 tent is such an easy set up- even a girl can do it! 😉
I said in one review that this tent take 2 minutes to set up. Well, that’s with 2 people… it took me 5 minutes but that’s pretty good! Take a look!
Happy Camping!
