After around 20 nights in the 1
person my brief thoughts are:
The durston poles are great.
The 1p is big enough for me and gear but I would take a hard look at the 2p for the extra space, to escape condensation, and more space to find a level spot for sleeping pad.
Great in warm and mild...
Made in the USA, great warranty, great customer service, percision manufacturing, inflation, designed for hunting and not camera gear.
If you don't want to pay the price then buy a Chinese knockoff. Or wait for a used one in the classifieds.
My tikka t3x superlite in 6.5cm with a limbsaver pad has light recoil and is a pleasure to shoot 30+ rounds in one range visit.
The t3x lite in 30-06 with limbsaver pad is the exact opposite, after 6 rounds I'm ready to put it back in the case and keep shooting the 6.5.
Dan, instead of using trekking poles, is it possible to use a cut to length wood stick, maybe with some sort of protective cap/cover on the stick end to protect the tent pocket corner?
I choose the 1P because the footprint is smaller and it will be easier to find a level spot, and the vestibules are large enough for a backpack and rifle. Also if I have another person sharing a tent then I would bring my 3P nemo dagger that weighs 4.5 pounds and split the weight.

Pre-orders opened a couple minutes early and I bought one. I will start using it in March and post a review a couple months later.
Fierce is welcome to reply to the thread and tell their side. Since they have not responded I suspect they won't admit their failures and don't care about losing a couple of orders. Fierce lost my business, new and used.
