I'll start by saying this: "first time camper". I thought this might be
a difficult task to build this tent, I was wrong. The wife and I took
about 20 minutes or so putting this tent together in the rain. So this
should give you an idea of how easy it is to assemble. This was perfect
for my first camping experience.
Now as far as the space available once inside is unbelievable, I am 6 feet tall and my wife is 5' 8". I was able to stand up in this tent. We had an inflatable queen size bed with two medium size suitcases, a 10 gallon water container, a box approx size of 3 x 3 and a few other supplies and we were able to still get around once inside. It has two separate front zipper doors that open and close with ease and a the option of placing a divider in the tent if needed for another couple or kids.
It has two small storage compartments built into the inside to place keys or your cell phone to keep them off the floor of the tent, which was a great bonus for not letting me lose them.
Great air ventilation, and held up nice during rain with no leaks; straight out of the box!
The privacy in this tent is good; you can't see anything from the outside in, unless you leave your zipper door open. One other option I have to say was unexpected was the door's have a second zipper built into it to open from the inside to look outside with a mesh to keep the bugs out. Also has two mud flaps in front of both doors.
I don't know about 6 people fitting in this unless it is for survival reasons, but I believe you could probably fit 4 people in this tent and be comfortable.
So in all, I have nothing bad to say about this product as it was exactly what I was expecting if not better.

Outdoor Sports
TRAK's T-1600 performance folding kayak is one of a kind. If you think
you need to compromise performance to get your kayak to unique paddling
locations, think again. TRAK’s rigid, adaptable hull gives optimal
performance in various paddling conditions and for diverse skill levels
(beginner to expert). And it only takes 10 minutes to assemble right
from your closet. How is this all possible? Experience it yourself…
Amazon.com Product Description
The world's only performance kayak that fits in a pack, the Trak T-1600 is truly one of a kind. The kayak is defined by its rigid, adaptable hull, which includes hydraulics inside the cockpit that let you instantly shift the hull's shape. By pulling or releasing the handling, you can adjust the hull to track quickly, to turn effortlessly, or to neutralize a cross wind without a rudder.The kayak includes 3 hydraulic jacks so you can adjust the shape of the hull. |
The kayak's command seat is stable and comfortable. |
From a durability standpoint, the T-1600 is tough as nails. The
DuraTrak frame is made of aerospace-grade anodized aluminum for
strength, lightness, and rigidity. In addition, all the tubing is
connected with shock-cording, and the ribs and bow/stern plates in each
section are attached to prevent loose pieces. The kayak's exclusive,
expedition-grade PolyTrak shell is also completely waterproof, as well
as virtually puncture-proof and abrasion-resistant. Add in a custom
polyurethane material and indestructible welded seams and you have the
toughest and most durable kayak on the market. The sturdy construction
gives paddlers the option of handling rough seas and rivers (Class 4),
and the confidence to tread any rocky shore.
Finally, the T-1600
includes a couple of handy convenience features: a storage system built
into the hull and a comfortable command seat. The Keder storage system
is an aluminum extrusion on a track that provides quick and easy access
to your gear without the hassle of leaky, failing hatches. When opened,
it provides complete access to the ample storage cavity inside the
stern, but when closed, it provides a fail-safe watertight seal. The
seat, meanwhile, is locked into the frame and coaming to provide all the
stability and control a performance kayak seat should offer. The
command seat also includes a padded cushion and an adjustable backrest.
