Taking this tent down by the instructions provided by NEMO make setting it up seem like a real chore.

Deflate the beams (It was tricky to do through the zippers but you don't have to do it through the zippers...I just wanted to test), roll the tent up side to side to get all the air out, then stuff it into the sack foot first.

Then you compress the bag, roll the top closed and clip and slip the straps tight. Took minutes.

it's smaller now than it was and I think I could have squeezed more air out of the bag...with practice I'm sure I will. With the head of the tent being mostly mesh, the tent itself traps very little air. I left the peg bag and foot print out of the bag so that I could squeeze it smaller and because I've never been a fan of packing pegs along with the tent...especially when squishing the tent bag is part of the take down instructions.

I'd like to thank everybody who threw in their 2 cents when I was looking for advice on tents. Even though I went my own way, your collective advice helped me make the most educated decision I could about this purchase.
