Tell me about your tent

[zpooch]

I don't remember which Big Agnes I have, but it's a 2 man and has done awesome in everything from high winds to a foot of snow. I've had it for about 5 years

I have used the Eureka Solitaire but the first time I got snowed on I decided no more of that. I wanted something big enough to get my rifle inside with me and a vestibule for my pack. Now I use a 2 person North Face tent if I'm solo and it's worth the extra weight to me to be able to get everything out of the elements if needed.

I use this. At just over 2lbs I’ve been happy with it.

@EYJONAS! Has peaked my interest with this tipi. I am diving down a whole different rabbit hole now.

I'll be following this, I've an idea what imma get but curious to hear more

I've looked at the zephyr 2 man and now the copper spur 2 man

Also the kelty cross canyon is up on the list too haha so many options

Idk about you, but now I feel like I'm back at square one on this tent search. Haha

I've been eyeballing tipi tents w/a stove jack since last season, and I just bought the last Luxe Hexpeak 3P they had in stock, and got the 2.5P inner for free, shoot I couldn't pass that up. Will be putting it to the test this hunting season....

My backpacking tent has magically disappeared. Seriously no idea where it went!

I'm looking for one man tents. I've been looking a few different ones from Nemo, big agnes, snugpak, kelty. What's everyone running and if it sucks let me know.
Thanks

Roughly how tall are you?

 

[Chippewa]

I second the, River Country Products Trekker Tent 2. Its nice an roomy, but still prefer the Alaknak 12x20'...

I watched this

then bought a cheaper version of this https://www.scheels.com/p/mountains...rp/75789432596.html#q=tarp&lang=en_US&start=2

and coated it with some silicon spray. Way under 1 pound. The only time it kinda sucks in with lots of skeeters. But even then a small bottle of picardin and you're good.

I have a Marmot Tungsten 3p UL (4lbs) that I like a lot. If I were running solo I would strongly consider their 2p UL version for September and early October hunts. <3lbs, two doors, two vestibules.

 

[Deleted member 16014]

With a regular length bag there are lots of good options already mentioned. One of my favorite three season solo tents I’ve had was the Six Moon Lunar Solo.

 

[TheTone]

I’ve got a big agnes seed house I think? I don’t really care for the single, end door and if I had it to do over I would get a side door tent. Ideally I would have a small floor less shelter and a regular bathtub floor tent

 

[MITCHMO]

Tarptent stratospire has been great for me. If I knew how to post videos I’d show you what it looks like in 50 mph winds. Did great in Alaska and is very easy to setup.

Alpz Mountaineering Mystique 1.5.

Super nice dual vestibules. Stood up to some serious WY wind. At 6’ 2” it was roomy enough to not feel like a coffin.

I'd be looking hard at the Seek Outside backpacking line if I were you...

The side doors are a heck of a lot better if you plan to have your dog accompany you.

That's a definite.

 

[Wildabeest]

I’ve gone to hammock, high end insulating pad and 0 degree mummy bag vs a tent. Maybe it’s just clostraphopia, but I sleep way better better when I’m off the ground and not confined in a tent. Plus it’s less weight. PM me if you want specs on the gear.

 

[nisayvx]

Thank you for your comments. I have a lot of Pinguin burners, but I haven't bought a tent yet.

 

[Cheesehead]

I have (and really like) Seek Outside’s Cimarron with the stove for later season, with-a-buddy stuff.
For lightweight solo, I have used this X-Drop.
Eyeballing Hilleberg Akto/Enan as well.
