TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.Re: Tarptent

Copper Spur requires vestibules to be pegged out.

Apart from that, like most BA tents, it needs extra pegs to keep the fly off the inner.
Not by chance that BA shows that in their official photos.
(the fabric in the middle of the visible end is pulled out. By what ?)
BTW, this has nothing to do with quality or performance , it is just about the term "freestanding"

There is a free standing light weight tent currently in market square.

My impression of the definition of a freestanding tent is not that it requires no pegs, but that it does not require tension of pegging the front and rear of the fly to stay upright.
I can't think of a tent that will stay in one spot without pegging or weighting with rocks.

and that is what I found amusing, in a way...
Tent A : freestanding, requires 2 pegs to work. (say that Copper Spur)
Tent B : not freestanding, requires 2 pegs to work (say Tarptent Moment)
but then again I like to look at how it works in practice rather than in theory.
So is this new TT shelter freestanding or not ?

No, I see pegs! A nifty end design though.
Those $25 domes with just a mini fly over the mesh peak are probably freestanding. Anyway, back to the OP, a Rainbow or a Moment? (or a Bowfin)
