    Wall Tent Lighting

    I have a 22 foot wall tent, use 3 usb led light bulbs, and hook them up to a old motorcycle battery, with 12v to usb adapters. Very cheap especially if you have old batteries around, last forever...

I have switching between a xtherm and a nemo switchback ccf pad. Added in a mec deluxe pillow... 2#12oz. Its worth...

    Small dog carrier?

    Hey I have a small Morkie that likes to come for hikes/hunts. But he's to small for some terrain and can't last all day hiking. I have a kuiu pack. I'm hoping to get some ideas what you would do . I'd essentially like 2 bags, bottom for gear, a open top for the dog. My best idea so far is a...

    Tarptent Notch

    Check out the Dan durston xmid I've used a bunch of the ultralight tents out there, my main hunting partner used a tarp tent bowfin. I like the x mid the best. Easy setup, double wall, under 2#. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    $200 Ultralight Dan Durston 1 man Tents/(2 man Tarp) are back on Drop (Mass Drop)

    The Green one in the lunar solo. It was ok, single wall. I sold my LBO. I just didn't use it, id carry the stove everytime but by the time we stopped to setup camp it was either dark or I just didn't care enough to spend a hour getting it going. It just didn't work for our style of hunting...

    $200 Ultralight Dan Durston 1 man Tents/(2 man Tarp) are back on Drop (Mass Drop)

    I have this tent. I've owned more then my fair share... Seek outside LBO, a couple big Agnes, six moons design lunar solo, etc. This one seems the easiest and in my opinion the best design if you don't need a stove. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Talk me out of a bivy... Please.

    I got my xmid in the mail yesterday. I am pretty happy with it. I had the duomid, then the mountain shelter from Jimmy, then s.o lbo, my last tent was the lunar solo... Now the xmid. One thing I didn't like about bivys or single wall was the condensation... I just could never get it right. So...

    Six Moons Lunar Vs Tarptent Notch?

    I have the lunar solo. It's been good. Held up in some horrific winds. But I recently pre ordered the Dan durston xmid from Massdrop... Check out the reviews, tons of great ones out there. Can't wait for it.

    Need suggestions to fix my sleeping situation

    I don't know if changing your bag is a option. I recently bought a sierra designs cloud, it has a pad sleeve to attach the pad to the bag. Works great. Always wake up on your pad.

    New sleeping bag if you are thinking about a quilt. Sierra Designs cloud

    I was in the same boat. I have a 13f bag that I've used for six years, sweating all night, luging its 3.5# weight around everywhere worried I didn't want to be cold. My buddies have quilts and down bags, but I couldn't decide till I saw this one.... It had everything I was looking for...

    New sleeping bag if you are thinking about a quilt. Sierra Designs cloud

    I thought some of you might interested in this. I hate drafts so I can never use a quilt. But I also wanted something around #1 cause I carry a puffy jacket anyway. I picked up the Sierra design cloud 35. It's a ziperless sleeping bag design. Has a self closing foot vent which I like... And a...

    Better option than REI Half Dome 2?

    I posted this yesterday in another thread, but I have been using the six moons lunar solo trekking pole tent. Roughly $200 and 26 oz. Backpacker have it 2019 editor choice award if you want a good review. It's held up to some really heavy wind. It's single wall so need to be prepared for that...

    Tarptent Stratospire 1

    I picked up the lunar solo this year, really liking it. 26 oz. Only 1 vestibule but tons of room. Stood up really well in some crazy wind.

    Lightweight Tent advice

    My hunting buddy has the bowfin1 he likes it a lot. But now after a year of use says he would get the 2. There is barely enough room for your boots in the vestibule. You either need to bring your bag inside the nest, or leave it out in the elements. But other then that I have seen it in some...
