hi to all just bought a outwell utah 6 still waiting for nice day to put it up any advise do you own one ! any tips is outwell a good make seems a very good quality tent we also got extension and wind breaks darn weather iching to get it up but one minute its sunny then snow crazy!

so any help /chat/advise/pics stories anything please would be really nice thanks

We're in the same boat as you with Utah, extension and carpet and no opportunity for test pitch yet!  We were going to try on Saturday but it was rather too windy so we would have been flying a Utah Kite instead.

As it's been discontinued the Outwell website doesn't still have the demonstration video - however in a rare moment of foresight a few months ago we downloaded both that and the one for the extension for future reference.  If you email me at poppypod at bigfoot dot com I could see if they are small enough to email back?  I can't find them anywhere else on t'internet.

The video does make it look quite easy, but that could be deceptive.

Just felt I HAD to reply as we also have a Utah 6 ready for the season.

We have had one test run - our garden was long enough but not quite wide enough for the 'porch' to be put up at full stretch.

I would agree with jenniec77 - with the groundsheet attatched it makes it quicker and easier, we have left it attached to go back in the bag.

We pretty much did it as in the video, once those main poles are in and up it the 'battle' is almost won. It is much easier than our 6 man dome tent - very happy.

Good luck with your test run.

Iordered the Outwell Utah 8 today ( discounted as its discontinued)

Just as an FYI, the set-up instruction video and pdf file are still on the Outwell website (see link below).  You can't navigate to it from the tents section but its still there.
