Yup! I recently traded for a prodigy, so I’m pretty happy.

For people who might later stumble upon this thread, I thought I’d clarify a few points that I’ve discerned from the tent.

  • They included DAC stacks, but they are horrible. I’d replace them. Also, there’s only 6 of them. You should probably use 7, and possibly 8.
  • Four stakes total are used on the corners, one on the foot guyed peak, and two at the head (although you could probably get away with one). There’s also another guy loop mid-body on the door side of the Zero1 (I couldn’t find any loop on the other side). If facing adverse weather, it’s probably best to face this side windward, or at least more windward due to the additional support.
  • The quoted weight was spot on, but it didn’t include the stakes.

I’m pretty satisfied with it so far, but I want to use it more before I make any strong judgments. Given that the weight didn’t include the stacks, a Protrail might be the better option. It’s difficult to say which is better for me. Time will tell. :)
