    Wilderness Ridge Llamas Tent

    Ive been looking at the GoTent by Davis (10x10).... and like its price. This one has a nice build to it with the tensioners to pull the side walls out and its much lighter than the GoTent... but geez the price is outrageous. No window or screen door option? Hmmm.

    Wall tent build out advice?

    I've got a Davis 14x16, got it 2 years ago. Looks like you got a good build going... just some small additional items I think you might like. You're more than likely going to be doing some stake modifications, such as adding washers, etc just to get the guy lines securely tightened down. I...

    Is there flagging ribbon that truly reflects as intended?

    Yea - with the orange and silver (or grayish) striping - I expected the gray/silver to be reflective. This is just those cheap rolls that they sell at Sportsmans or Cabelas. My expectations were too high. Lol

    Is there flagging ribbon that truly reflects as intended?

    Never expected this would have happened.... I hanged flagging ribbon in the trees to help in locating our spike camp at night when shinning our headlamps in the direction our gps was pointing us to. Later that night, when getting in the vicinity of our spike camp, we began to shine our...

    Exo 4800 vs 6400

    Well lets see.... I started with the Exo K3 1800.... I opened up the box, looked at...kept staring at it in my living room. Then was like, nope not going to be enough. I called Exo and got the exchange to the 3200. Then I handed the 3200 down to my son and use a 4800 now. Now Im thinking...

    Exo 6400 Pack Cover

    I am glad you are preparing with a rain cover and not use a dry bag! (also glad you posted this as I have just learned about the sea to summit reply!) We just got done with a second half Sept elk hunt. We were moving our spike camp to another ridge while it rained on us 24 hrs straight...

    ARGALI RINCON 2P Tent.....it is in my hands.

    My bad...I meant the half nest, so that there's also a vestibule, which Brad mentioned is in the works.

    ARGALI RINCON 2P Tent.....it is in my hands.

    Ok ya for sure definitely checks all the boxes. the Xmid 1p I can see is defintely smaller than the Rincon which is 2p. And with the Rincon being so light - its a solid choice. The price point is spot on too. I just wish they'd have an inner net for it. Thanks for the photos and comparison!

    ARGALI RINCON 2P Tent.....it is in my hands.

    Is your Xmid the 1p or the 2p?

    ARGALI RINCON 2P Tent.....it is in my hands.

    I can see the rincon having more area for gear - but something is just not sitting well with me when I see how the rincon's side walls are angled much lower than the Xmid. Im guessing your having to sleep in the center of the tent near the pole, but either way would your head still hit the side...

    ARGALI RINCON 2P Tent.....it is in my hands.

    Regarding earlier replies in this thread, any thoughts on creating a half nest? Or a model with a vestibule?

    For the Rincon what do you use as a ground sheet to protect your pad/sleep on? Definitely would love to see the side by side comparison!

    ARGALI RINCON 2P Tent.....it is in my hands.

    Dang! You now just added to my dilema! Hahaha this might actually be what I am looking for - seems like a cross between the Mountain Star and Rincon! Sucks that I need this for Sept and looks like Durston 2p not available closer to Oct.

    ARGALI RINCON 2P Tent.....it is in my hands.

    I like mine a lot. I can adjust the amount of air in it for comfort levels. It rolls up nicely when deflated to be packed. I have been considering to change though to a packable foam one like the Nemo Switchback as Randy (mtnrunner) said he uses in addition with the Static V. The reason...

    ARGALI RINCON 2P Tent.....it is in my hands.

    Randy - Nice pics! - thanks for the input! Mountain Star old model - yea - I like the clips, and think it would be way easier just to clip them on the poles and be done. I always hated on other tents having to slide poles through sleeves and then taking the tent down having to make sure you...

    ARGALI RINCON 2P Tent.....it is in my hands.

    Ive been eyeballing this tent a lot... and comparing it to the updated Kuiu Mountain Star 2p. I am on the fence between the two. Looks like the Rincon is just stake edges, then raise middle with pole, and done. Kuiu is shove poles into sleeves, stake edges, then pop poles up by inserting into...

    SO Eolus vs Kuiu Mountain Star

    Thank you for this insight! I am torn on which to purchase, between the Mountain Star for its easy setup since the body and fly are connected... to other tents like the Eolus or Hubba Hubba.

    SO Eolus vs Kuiu Mountain Star

    Question on setup --- My understanding is the fly and body are connected together. For packing then it becomes one large component....Are both fly and body easy to separate for packing purposes? ie fly in left side pack pocket and body in right pack pocket? How are the two connected? Clips?

    Photos of your reloading layout/set-up

    How long did it take you do all this? What was the frequency rates of working on this? A few hours each day... all day for 5 days straight...etc? Wow you got some serious organizational carpentry skills!
