Ok so i’ve posted this in the hunting section – Shoot me 
I’m a noob
Are you just wondering about the typical tent or the pop-up trailer? Any of those tents with a crank handle type system have pretty sketchy reliability. Sometimes they work, other times they lower back down while your sleeping or won’t crank back down when it’s time to leave your campsite..
I bought a 3 person Coleman tent a few years ago that I’ve used camping for over a months worth of time in the last three years. I think I’ll probably still get several more years out of it. Most of the Coleman tents now come with the tent posts connected with string, so you just have to put the pieces together without worrying about which pieces go where.. I can set it up by myself in about 10 minutes, though it’s a little easier with two people. Taking it back down is even faster.
It’s so simple you just spread the tent out and put a tent pin through the corner ring in all four corners, then just put together the two separate lengths of supports, they get threaded through the top of the tent and then the ends hook over another piece located at the corners of the tent. You tie the supports on in about 6-8 different places, then you just have to put the smaller support together for the tarp that comes with it to go over it. The directions are even sewn into the tent bag so you can’t lose them. Though, I only had to glance at them the first time I put it together.
We’ve had the tent out in rain and somewhat windy weather and it’s been just fine. If you plan on sleeping directly on the floor rather then on a cot, then plan on buying another tarp to put under the ten. That cuts down a bit on the condensation that seems to come up from the ground.
They are great until it’s time to take it back down again. They are really hard to get back down, I gave up on mine and just left it.

make sure it has good ventilation or else everything, including you, will be wet in the morning. Also a rain fly (cover) is vital. I’d stick with well known brands.

And your hunting question is?

Since camping and hunting go hand in hand, you are in the right section- the pop up tents was demonstrated to me at an outdoor exhibition that highlighted the new products on the market- it was amazing to see a tent thrown up in the air and hit the ground completely erected. To put it back together, you merely folded it back up- nothing else to bother with- it had straps that enabled you to back pack it- I would not hesitate to buy one if I were to be in the market for one- unfortunately I did not get the brand name of it- There was simply too much to look at and take in in one day- I was like a kid in a candy store-sorry I wasn’t much help.
