Hiking this section in a few weeks (Pearsiburg to Daleville). Bear activity at war spur? Ive heard they are bad through there. Just looking for places to avoid
I’ve got one that I like to use. I didn’t know what to do with the excess shock cord at first but then I saw this picture on the website. Cinch it down generously and take the shock cord tail from...
Thank you! Pentanet looks intriguing.

Just picked one up. What inner setups do y’all use? I plan on using tyvek this winter and may add a sol blanket. Looks like bug protection may be tricky when sleeping two?

Thank you! Couldn’t have said it better. Glad you have had good experiences with them.
For what it’s worth, I’m still a Zpacks fan as well. I loved the duplex design, and they gave me the customer...
I haven’t said anything unreasonable. Just two different mentalities. I’m guessing a thru hiker vs me: weekend warrior who dreams of thru hiking. Different expectations/goals with gear that’s all.

Thanks for your concern on my issue. If you read this thread you would know I was able to send it back and get something else. Much happier now and haven’t had any issues whatsoever with my tarptent....
I’m not comparing materials. God knows we’ve heard that enough. I’m saying for me and my usage, my current tent which happens to be a DCF Tarptent is not viewed as disposable.
I agree with your...
I don’t completely agree. I’d rather not pay 630.00 for a shelter and have it failing in vital areas before I even use it on trail. The failure was more like “feet” of tape than a “piece” of tape. If...

My wife and I are spending a week in it later this month on the AT. I’ll let you know how it goes.
The backyard testing has gone great though. I’m 6’ 230lb and she’s 5’5” 130ish. We feel great in...
DE,
Great review! I too noticed some ridgeline sag on my first pitches. I haven’t been able to get it perfectly taut with 6 stakes yet. Have you? After some practice, with 8 stakes I can get it...
I'm liking this tent so far. I received it over the weekend and have pitched it every evening since. I'm loving the design, and have found no construction flaws so far. I got to ride out a small...
Jack Links, Old Wisconsin beef or turkey sticks with some Dubliner cheese! SPAM single! Vienna sausage! I tend to splurge on processed foods while backpacking.
Yep, this is probably the best option for us. I usually just hike the direction of home to save some time, in this case about 1.5 hour drive, but we will probably spend a night in Hiawassee upon...
Haven’t spoke to anyone but Ron. I guess I’ll take my chances with the parking, may have to put the 4x4 to work.
