How large is this thing packed? It seems like the poles are the longest part of the whole pack. How long are they collapsed?

I couldn't give you an exact measurement, but it was not too bulky. The pole broke down to about six or eight inches. Which you could do without and utilize wood from your camp site. This being said, I wouldn't recommend this product. The quality is extremely poor: it leaks, tears easily, stitching comes loose, zippers break immediately. This is not from one either, I bought several at one purchase for scouts, and all began breaking on the first night. Luckily I had brought some tarps with me.

It packs fairly large. I packed the tent and poles seperately. The tent it self packs down really small in a compression sack and the poles are short enough to fit in my 65 liter pack.

It comes with it's own carry bag. All the poles are in 2 separate bags and go inside carrier bag. The netting part rolls up or folds up to fit in carrier bag with the tent stakes. The bag is 2' to 2 1/2' long, width is probably about 8" and height is 10-12".

Well it is big but if you are tight with space you can easily take the unit off from the pole and loosen the bolt on the bottom and then store it away... seriously it takes less than 5 minutes to do it maybe even less than 3. Its really just 3 main pieces: the Head unit, pole, and legs.

If you pack the poles seperately, the tent itself can get pretty compact and can be stuffed into any given pack (but it doesn't get any lighter...LOL).

Its hard to explain wo showing u but the poles pull out a little before u bend them- lift them up and then fold. I watched a video online of some lady demoing putting it up and taking it down. Google it and I'm sure u will find it. Hope that helps

I would not pack it if I were solo. Would be pretty easy for a few people. It would probably pack down enough into a smaller tent bag if you made a separate bag for the poles. That would also be a good way to split the load. It would sleep 4 people nicely and 5 snugly.

By 'packed' do you mean collapsed and folded? If so, it's about 2 1/2 feet tall by about 8 inches wide at the widest part.

I don't know exactly how big the bag is, but since you can take the obstacles apart, you could always take them out of the bag and fold the bag up. The suitcase would need to be big enough to put the chute and poles in, and the chute collapses lengthwise, but not diameter-wise. The chute is about 22 inches in diameter and the poles are about 32 inches long.

Yes, the poles, frame, net are all contained in a single carry bag with a shoulder sling. I'm 5'2" and have no problem packing it up and carrying it. I'm very pleased with it.

Sorry, I had to return it as it is really a trekking pole and I need to use it as a collapsible cane. It couldn't be shortened enough for me. It did fold up nicely. Not exactly the answer you need.

I have the 10 foot poles. They weigh about 2 lb ea. They detach into two pieces for easy transport and storage.

It has 2 long interlocking poles (that are attached by a cord) that you assemble and then thread through the exterior of the tent to keep it upright. The poles come with their own little storage pouch and I have kept the box to store both the tent and pole pouch. I find it fairly easy to assemble and disassemble!

The poles are designed to easily come apart, so I rarely put them all together then compact them. That said, it would be about two or three feet.

The poles for the frame fit into connectors (so basically it snaps together) and assembles very quick. To break it down you simply remove the cover fold it up and disconnect the poles from one another. So it takes up very little room when stored (so in theory, it can be stored in a space as big as the box it comes in). I hope this helps.

We bought this net months ago and are very happy with it. However, we have never actually taken it apart after the initial assembly. If I had to estimate, the longest pole sections would need to be carried in a bag similar to a beach umbrella.

I haven't had it collapsed since I unpackaged it, but I think I remember it being about 8 - 10 inches square and about 4 feet long. It came in a very heavy duty carrying bag with two little wheels on it. We've really enjoyed ours.

Its 18 feet long by 10 feet deep. A huge tent!. As for poles, it has.....two main poles that cross each other at the top. two poles that support the tent - one at each side, and a smaller pole that supports the "fly" or small awning that protects the doors. That being said. since each pole has to be very long. they are in parts held together by bungee cords. It requires at least two people to set up.
