Big Agnes Copper Spur Review

The Big Agnes Copper Spur is a 4-person, 3-season tent that is exceptional because it provides ample interior space and durable construction, while only weighing 3 pounds, 1 ounce! It's the ideal tent for mountaineering and backpacking, when you need to keep your gear as lightweight as possible. We love the Big Agnes Copper Spur because the tent is spacious, with steep walls to increase floor space and extra head room. The shell is constructed of tough ripstop with a waterproof fly and lots of mesh breathability, so you can be comfortable in a variety of weather conditions.

How do you setup the Big Agnes Copper Spur?

After you have arranged the body of the tent, the next step is to lengthen the DAC tent poles and line them with the color-coordinated Jakes feet that are on the corners of the structure. The middle hub connects each of the four-way poles to the others. After that, the tent pole tips are inserted into the corner grommets, and the tent body is attached to the poles using clips. Attaching the shorter and separate DAC pole across the top of the tent is the last step in the process of setting up the body of the tent.
