Big Agnes Copper Spur

Yes, the Copper Spur is a fully freestanding tent. This means it can stand on its own without needing stakes, which is incredibly helpful when setting up on hard-packed ground, rocky terrain, or wooden platforms.

No, the footprint is not included with this tent. While the proprietary fabric is durable, we recommend purchasing the compatible footprint separately to protect the floor from abrasion and extend the life of your shelter.

The tent features an integrated ventilation system with roof and adjustable vents designed to promote airflow. This helps significantly reduce condensation buildup inside the tent during humid nights or when the rainfly is fully deployed.

The TipLok Tent Buckles are designed to simplify your setup. They securely lock the pole tips in place, preventing them from popping out while you are trying to attach the rainfly, which makes pitching the tent much easier, especially in windy conditions.

Yes, this specific model is the 'Long' size, which provides extra interior length to accommodate taller users comfortably. It is a great choice if you find standard backpacking tents feel a bit cramped.

The packed weight is 5.0 lbs. While it is designed as an ultralight shelter, keep in mind that this weight includes the tent body, rainfly, poles, and stakes, so you can distribute the weight between hiking partners if needed.
