    Yes and? Backpackers can pack everything up in the morning and setup at night. The key is to pack only what you need. If you want to leave your tent setup at a camp unattended, just dont leave anything you want stolen.

      Yes and a member of a backpack group can go back to the car and make a beer or tampon run without having to pack up the whole tent. Unlike car-tent people. Which was the point.

        Yep, you got it. A car tent ties up your mode of transportation. When I camp, I go car camping and use my car during the day to get to trails, site see, get fire wood, etc… With a freestanding tent, that’s not an issue at all.
