Default Fastest Ice tent to set up

I have the clam nanook you have pictured. It’s been great. Warm. Enough room for two, I’ve even crammed three of us in there. Comfy seats. I’ve had it for a while, 5-6 years. It’s held up very well. Compared to the pop ups it’s way easier.
My only complaint that I haven’t seen mentioned is the little spring loaded pins for the retractable frame poles are plastic and tend to freeze up in colder temps. Usually a little screw driver or knife tip can pop it loose and lock the poles but on really cold days they don’t and you just grind away the plastic. Hasn’t been a big issue, as when that’s happened it’s only been one or two and still get it set up and the heat on and the problem corrects itself. I’ve seen some fixes where guys swap them out for various things but it hasn’t bothered me enough to take them all apart to fix. I just thought I’d mention it for you.
Attaching a picture. Circled in red. It’s the pin on the inside that tends to freeze up and not spring into the hole.
