You likely know this but beware of rams in the farms. As they very aggressive. Never hurts to warn about. Stay safe and enjoy our country.

@fourbrothersgear 9 күн бұрын

It is always good to give space and respect the animals! I do feel the sheep, rams especially, take notice and watch carefully when we pass. Also we’ve given wide berth to the cows. I saw one couple walk through a pasture of cows with their dog, and the cows definitely were not happy about it - walking after them I think to protect a few calf in the herd

It's a good point I don't normally see pigs. I had never even thought of this. I remember driving with my parents to inverness during the night and the amount of deer on the road and sides was insane. It was like a city of deer and some sight to behold as all you could see was darkness, and the glow of inverness.

@fourbrothersgear 9 күн бұрын

Yeah - interestingly I think I’ve seen 1000’s of sheep (they are so cool!), 100’s of cows, perhaps 100 horses, 50 or so chickens as well as grouse….but not one pig until this one.

As a Brit looking for a new tent primarily for out wet climate, I am concerned about how far the rain fly is off the ground, and hence the possibility of horizontal wind driven rain to get through into the inner. British madeTents I've had in the past have had flys that come much closer to the ground ( I know that means less ventilation). Have you any experience of this issue

@fourbrothersgear 14 күн бұрын

Well I am currently in England now doing the Coast to Coast Hike and have heard stories of the rain! Haven’t experienced “horizontal” rain but can add that I’ve had this tent in both wind and rainstorms, including one time we woke up to find ourselves surrounded by several inches of water (poor site I thus learned), yet was perfectly dry inside. The walls of the tent along the door sides are probably 4, maybe 5 inches off the ground and that helps. I do think I you would be fine.

The paracord toe strap is 70% thicker than competitors, making it uncomfortable. The textured footbed is too aggressive, causing hotspots and reminiscent of the pattern used in 1980s sandals. Adding 6mm of softer material inlayed into the footbed, while keeping the stiffer foam in the midsole at 12mm would improve comfort significantly while keeping durability.

@fourbrothersgear 20 күн бұрын

Thanks for the comments. I find these super comfortable though your point about the paracord is interesting. Seems like every summer when I get these out it takes a week perhaps for my feet to adjust to the paracord before not noticing it! Other than that, these work well for me.

I dont rate pump sacks, even after a 16-20 mile hike id rather just blow the matt up with my mouth it requires so much less physcial effort, the only advantage to the sack is you can overinflate a little but in my experience that just results in a higher chance of punctures

Hi, any tips on folding the tent poles to pack them up after site break down? I have trouble with that! Thanks!

@fourbrothersgear Ай бұрын

After removing the poles from the tent and footprint, I collapse the poles from the ends toward the central holder. All I do is piel the sections apart with a little pressure. Going from the ends to the center works much better (for me at least) than starting at the center and moving outward. Hope that makes sense. Good luck!

Awesome review, sadly quickly fell out of my consideration because of the tapered design, would rather have a fully rectangular floor plan. I can see why people use this tent so much though. -That additional stabilizer pole looks like it isn't doing too much. Is it possible to set this up fully without it? -Velcro straps to hold in Rainfly, why? That seems like a strange decision.

@fourbrothersgear 3 ай бұрын

Thanks for the note. The tapered design, I think, is strictly to shave weight, and for me, that trade-off was worth it - notably for when I go longer distances and am carrying it solo. If you can deal with more weight, I can fully endorse the REI Halfdome 2+ tent as a solid option. See my review on that one for more info. Upside --> more room for sure AND much less expensive. Downside, 2 pounds heavier! RE: the top pole, it's needed to spread out the rain fly on top as well as provide spacing between it and the main tent. Not sure what to say about the velcro straps for the rain fly other than if in super windy conditions, I think they help keep it tight and not sag. Good luck on your search for a different option.

I have this tent and like it, especially the doors and large storage pockets - but I hate that i can't buckle the ground sheet to the tent inner, like I could on my Nemo (just makes set up so much easier). Was interested to see that you looped the tent inner under the ground sheet when attaching the poles. Do you find this helps keep everything together during the set up? Cheers from Australia.

@fourbrothersgear 3 ай бұрын

100% on. You pay for the light weight to be sure. I have this one and also the REI Half Dome 2+ tent. It is an excellent tent and solid option for less $’s. Also a bit larger inside (bonus). Downside - 5 lbs for just the tent (2 lbs more - makes a big difference!). Check out my review of that one -

That is definitely possible. It's a few years ago, but another channel (a professional outfitter/guide, I think) actually demonstrated this ... may have been with the 3 person version (but same difference). But, the short answer is that you have to have the footprint and then you can do what you described: footprint + fly = rain dome structure ... then attach the tent body from inside.

Yeah. In Death Valley I experienced super high winds and needed to stake out the guy-lines. Once they were set, the tent held really well. Regarding rain, endured a few long storms including an all-nighter that resulted in our entire campsite being flooded! Was like we pitched the tent in a lake. Totally dry inside. Condensation, some in dewey situations, but the fly is nicely separated and kept it off the main tent pretty well.
