My brother recently purchased the Goondie 2. Just received the bathtub floor for the fly-first option a few days ago. He also asked if he could buy 4 extra clips, and they happily obliged. His plan now is to make his own concoction using cord or webbing. All it needs on each end is the grommet for the poles and the clip for the fly to clip into. If it works, he’ll just have to carry the extra straps around, rather than the extra bathtub floor - ie, it’ll just be two straps forming a cross on the ground (corner to corner). Each strap will have a grommet on the end for the tent pole, as well as the clip that the fly would normally clip into on the tent. Once the fly is set up, he can attach the inner to the roof, then detach each corner strap clip/grommet one-by-one, replacing with the tent clip/grommet as he goes around the corners. Once all have been swapped over, he can remove the straps. Looking forward to seeing how it goes. Seems straightforward enough, as all that is needed is the tension and the straps should provide that.
It’s a quality tent.
