Is this tent freestanding? I mean ... I can set it up in the livingroom (minus the vestibule)?

Yes you can, my son and i have used our tent together about 8 times and it takes us less than 10 minutes to set up. We were just camping in 30 mph winds with gusts up to 45 and with all of the anchor points for the fly we had no issues at all. Great tent!!!

The rain fly (all of the orange) is staked into the ground all over, so that would not work. If you set it up without the rain fly it would just be a netted dome, completely see through. If you still wanted to do that I THINK it would stand ...there are just two poles criss-crossing the tent, they create tension when you put the end of the poles into holes on the each corner of the tent....I'm pretty sure it stood before we staked it into the ground....can't be sure, haven't set it up in a few months....

Yes, the main portion of the tent is a pretty standard dome tent and is completely free standing. It is entirely mesh. The rain fly will loosely attache without staking it down.

The basic tent beneath the rain fly is a typical two pole dome tent that could stand on it's own, but the top section is see-through mesh so you wouldn't have any kind of 'privacy' without the rain fly. You may be able to pseudo-attach the fly without staking out the guy lines, but the vestibule (and thus the only entry) would not be properly formed and would likely be a pain to deal with.

We set ours up in a normal camping area - size was okay. For your camping pleasure I would not leave one side down. It would take away from the structure support.

I would honestly look at a tent cot from KampRite, if you aren't moving around much location wise, it is much better, off the ground, better to lay on and easy to set up.

I can't say one can set this tent up "easily". It's possible but I find having a second person to hold up the center crossed poles (giving center height) while securing the pole ends in the keepers is less stressful on the tent.

No - it could be used free standing, but fits nicely into a corner with the way it is built.

Sorry I can't help you with that. I have no idea if you can or not. All I can tell you is we are happy with the tent.

No, you don't have to use the walls (I only used 2 walls. They come in 4 separate pieces). We anchored the legs into the ground to prevent it from lifting, and if your concerned about wind, you should probably too. This has proven to be a pretty sturdy tent. I am happy with it

Yes. Each side is hung up individually. Be sure it's not in a windy area. A slight wind will shear this tent.

This tent does not require a footprint. I have been putting it on a standard tarp to make it last longer and to provide a ground cover in the vestibule, but it is not necessary.

No, it is a freestanding unto similar to what you would find at a gym, only not as fancy. I recommend setting it up in a perminant place, it is difficult to move

No, it is not an instant tent. You have to put it together and my Dad said that it is very simple.

It is really easy to use freestanding, it comes with a stand but you don't need it because it stands on it's own. It actually doesn't stay on the crib very well sowe only use it freestanding.

No it isn't. It is the type with the two poles that feed through the tent and attach to the corners like a regular tent. :)

yes, one person can easily set up this tent. I would set it up once inside before setting up in the wild, for practice.

Our tent is not up now, but my best recollection is that the doorway can be either at the front or directly in the back, not along the sides. It is a good tent and serves us well. But if you need a side door opening, it may not work for you.

I'm afraid I can help with this one. I have yet to use my tent. I bought it for my survival gear and haven't had the opportunity as yet to check it out. Sorry. Will do a follow up entry as soon as I do though.
