Hi All,
I am looking to lighten the load and purchase a new tent. FWIW I am 6'2" 185lbs. I have a few tents in mind, specifically the Tarptent Stratospire and the SMD Skyscape Scout/Trekker.
The question I have is, how much of a pain is dealing with silnylon stretching and sagging?
I've read quite a bit on lots of different sites, and several folks say you have to pitch your tent...retension 30 min later, then before you turn in, then sometime during the night the tent, depending on the weather, will need retensioning. Is this really the case with silnylon? Would the Skyscape Scout act in a similar manner being its made of polyester?
Thanks for your input, and if you have any experience with the skyscape or the stratospire feel free to chime in.
