So is this thing gonna happen, or not? First it was February, then early March..... still nothing. Starting to worry that even if I'm lucky enough to get in on this drop, I won't get the tent in time for my trips. If they ship as late as they drop.... Hmmmmmmm. Guess I am not a patient person...🤔

Huff-n-PuffIndeed it's a been a long wait for this drop. I'm not sure what Massdrop's internal processes are for organizing this, but hopefully they offer it soon. The folks I talk to have been asking for it to be soon, but there are scheduling teams etc that end up shuffling things around apparently. So I'm not sure what is happening with re-opening the drop but there are about 300 more tents coming so it's gotta open sometime between now and when they arrive. I am told that production on these last tents is going well and is earlier than previously thought, so when this does re-open the ship date is likely to be May rather than June. So the delayed drop doesn’t mean delayed tents.

dandurstonDan, I have so much respect for how you approach responding to the comments here (and elsewhere!). I totally get that the delay has nothing to do with you. I absolutely love the design of this tent, but the delay in knowing if I'm gonna be able to get one is making me crazy! Anyway, thanks for responding and for such an intelligent new design. Whether I get one or not, the backpacking world is better off because of your efforts!

uber_franzYeah it'll re-open sometime. I'm not sure exactly when because Massdrop decides that but do have some more coming around May so presumably sometime between now and then. I've asked them to do it sooner rather than later but I haven't heard a definite plan yet. If you've "requested" the drop then you'll get an email when it re-opens.

dandurstonHi Dan, first of all thank you for the design and all the info, explanations, etc. Splendid work! How does it work here on Massdrop, do all people that requested the drop get a notification simultaneously or is it queued by the time of request? I've been keeping an eye on any email notifications, because I really don't wanna miss this thing. I'm a trigger happy son of a bitch right now! Thanks :)

geogaddi4I'm not 100% sure on how the notifications work, but I think basically the drop opens and at about that same time an email goes out saying "the item you requested is available". So everyone seemingly gets it at the same time. As long as Massdrop opens this relatively soon there won't be a panic to order, but if they wait until the last tents arrive in May then perhaps there will be. If they opened it now I think it would sell out in 2-6 days roughly. There are usually a lot of orders that first day and then it slows down. Right now I don't think that first day "pop" would sell it out but if requests pile up for another month then it might. As far as I can tell, the drops all open at the same time each day (around 6 AM PST but I'm not certain). So you'd likely wake up to an email when it opens.
