Would this tent work as emergency shelter for 2 girls (5'7" & 5'3")? Need something inexpensive & light as back up for a day hike.

Yes it most certainly will. it is great tent. Very very easy setup. Very light and durable. Hot days(tested)... Light to moderate rain (tested)

Yes it would be perfect for that. Very easy to assemble, very light. Not a lot of room but I'm 5'10" and my girlfriend is 5'3" and we can fit for a quick night sleep.

I'm sure you could fit two small kids. But I got it for my 15 (at the time) year old son. He was about 5' 9. He had to curl up to get the tent zipped up. So 2 or 3 people? Only if you are very small..

It depends on your needs, not the tent. What weather are you using it in? What size are you? The only thing I'd really say about it is, it's not large enough for a double wide two person bag.

I would say yes. It's very light in my opinion. I wouldn't mind backpacking with it. I believe the outfitter model adds a tiny bit of weight and size, but it's definitely worth it. Very good tent. Easy to set up too.

I agree with the other comment. You may be able to fit one regular height chair in the middle of the tent, but I don't think two would work.

Its what I use mine for. It was my go to for a few years but I have since upgraded. This tent is still perfect for a single person (two if you really like each other) that just needs some basic shelter.

a tent, or anywhere you put it, needs to be 54" (4'6") or more. hope that helps.

Martina, sorry to take so long to respond. Yes, this is a good little shade tent; I would recommend it for attending afternoon events, yard and park visits, even camping under good weather. I wouldn't recommend it for anything too strenuous - not the tent for your next McKinley summit, or even more than a moderate rain storm. All in all, a great tent for a great price for great weather. Hope that helps!

My husband used this tent while backpacking. He is 6'3 and he fit. It is really a 1 1/2 person tent. It fit in his backpack nicely and wasn't heavy. The only downfall to this tent is the cover that goes over the door. Since the tent is really small, the cover over the opening is too. It was raining when he went and it was very hard to get in the tent without bringing all of the rain and mud with him.

this is a small day-pack I would not think it would work as an overnight camping pack

I use mine for 3 night hikes, with my hammock, sleeping bag(in a compression sack, otherwise it wouldnt fit), stove, water filter, etc. Anymore than 3 nights i would suggest the next size up but i always push myself to go lightweight

I ended up picking up an off-brand footprint at Academy that was on sale for like $6 or $7 (linked here: http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/no-limits-153-highland-peak-tent-footprint-groundsheet/pid-899503?N=882470663). It fits perfectly, but naturally, you could fold a tarp to fit. If you're going to backpack or do some hiking with it, it's worth getting a small lightweight footprint just to cut down the weight though.

It would depend on how much stuff 2 people had. I really doubt it when you consider tent, sleeping bag and possibly a sleeping pad (x2), then clothes, food and gear. I used this for a 3 day 2 night outing and had it pretty full. There would have been no room for much else. Probably comes down to the type of gear you have. Hope this helps.

I cannot give you an exact measurement for the lowest height, however, if your tent is tall enough to stand up in then it should probably work. I'm 5'2" and I put the frame lower so that I could attach the fabric and then I would raise it up.

You could probably get a queen mattress in the tent, but it'd be tight. On the plus side, it goes up super easy in about 5 minutes and is very lightweight. The base is 7x7, but it rapidly gets smaller as you go up, so your mattress would need to be (guessing) 78" maximum to fit without pushing on the sides. Queens are typically 78" on the long side, so it should technically fit. Short sides are around 58" so that leaves either 20" on one side or 10" on either side - pretty tight, but doable. Definitely measure the mattress you're planning on putting in this tent - extra thick mattresses (because the tent slopes in as it goes up) may even need to be less than 78".

You would probably be fine. Theoretically you will have 1 foot on either end where there is no tarp, but most tents can handle that as long as they are properly waterproofed.
