Apr 11, 2020 · This is the tent I’m going to buy when I grow up. Karen says: “I think my dream tent might be a DCF Moment in camo.” Yea, I hear you, but something that I think would boost Tarptent’s bottom line even more is if they offered a green silnylon option. I realize TT is already very popular in Europe, but the market there has more of an ...

Jun 6, 2017 · Typically, my tarp weighs 17oz, including stakes and guy lines. Soo, for less than 20oz, I am set. The few times I need a bug tent, I have a smaller tarp for it, again something I made up, and both go about 24oz total: Screen tent:16oz and tarp, 8oz.

Aug 11, 2008 · Which do you use and why? A Tarp with or with out a bivy or a tent. Advantages of tarp/bivy – Flexibility, weight, views. Advantages of tent – ease of setup/fiddle factor, weather protection, privacy. The lightest full-protection tent I'm aware of is the GG one at 17oz. The lightest tent/bivy combo I'm aware of would be a cuben tarp w/bivy.

Apr 18, 2020 · With an inner tent width at its maximum of 34 inches (at the mid-point of the inner tent) and at its minimum of 20 inches (at the ends of the inner tent), the claim that a wide (e.g., 25 inch) sleeping pad will “fit” is a little dubious.

I was once crashing in the tent when the sun is right on the overhead. The temperature inside the tent is somewhere about 10-15 degrees hotter than outside for sure!

May 1, 2011 · I'm planning a MYOG tarp/tent and looking for initial feedback. The design is based *heavily* on pictures of Six Moons Designs shelters (never seen them in person)–basically, this is a Wild Oasis with the two-pole five-stake structure of the Skyscape.
