Serious question, setting up my new 4-person tent in the backyard took me 45 minutes longer than the box said.

The instructions were just pictures and the rainfly clips were super stiff, so I had to keep stopping to check a video on my phone. Has anyone else had a simple setup turn into a whole afternoon project with a new tent?

Dude, that SUCKS. So wait, did you end up having to rewatch that video like ten times just to figure out one clip? Because I had the EXACT same problem with my last tent, and I STILL don't think I got the rainfly on right. Also @betty_price14 said her cousin broke a clip trying to force it - was yours that stiff too or just hard to latch? I swear, some companies make these tents for robots with metal hands, not regular people. I finally had to just sit down and watch the whole setup video before even touching the poles again.

Oh the "just pictures" instructions are the worst. I had a tent where the poles were color coded but the diagram was in black and white, total nightmare. Those stiff rainfly clips are no joke either, feels like you need three hands.
