Big Agnes Copper Spur Tent

Yes, the Copper Spur is a true freestanding tent. While you will need to stake out the vestibules to create usable gear storage space, the main tent body stands on its own once the poles are assembled.

No, the footprint is not included with the tent. We recommend purchasing one separately to extend the life of your tent floor and keep it clean, especially if you frequently camp on abrasive or muddy ground.

The tent is designed with integrated vents on both the fly and the doors to promote consistent airflow. This cross-ventilation helps significantly reduce condensation buildup, though you should always ensure the vents are open during humid nights.

The 'Long' size provides extra floor length, which is ideal if you are over six feet tall or prefer extra room at your feet for gear. If you are of average height, the standard version will likely provide plenty of space, but the extra length is a welcome luxury for taller users.

The setup is very straightforward, even for one person. The injection-molded pole sockets make it easy to connect the poles without them slipping, and the color-coded webbing helps you orient the rainfly correctly on the first try.

Yes, the oversized 3D bin and ceiling pockets are surprisingly spacious. They are positioned well to keep small essentials like headlamps, phones, and glasses off the floor and within easy reach while you are lying down.
