Thank you for showing every step of the step, I was looking at so many videos for setup and they always conveniently skip the part where poles are raised from ground before plugging in the tent hooks to poles, I wanted to see how its done by single person. So, thank you, appreciate you showing that :)
I'm happy you found value in the video. Please consider subscribing to help me out. You are going to enjoy this shelter, I'm sure. Let me know your opinion of it once you've had a had a chance to take it out a few times. Enjoy!
@@pathwaysalaska8757 subscribed pal, no worries at all. So its been delivered today! Can't wait to get home. Will let you know after the HRP how Its done. Thanks again for the advice 🙏.
Hey man, nice video! Could you fit a backpack in the big pocket on the inside? When everything is packed out the bag maybe will fit in there, so you don’t have to put in in the vestibule… Keep on, nice videos greetings from Germany!
Yes you could fit a pack inside. What I do is empty my pack and spread things around my pad, then place my pack underneath the foot of my sleeping pad. Works great that way. Thanks you for reaching out and commenting
I don't like the tent, for me is too narrow at the bottom, but I do like your video. I think that Naturehike VIK 1 tent with its width of 85cm at the bottom and a cost of $140 its much better tent.
Thank you!! Sufficient? Yes I would say it could sufficiently handle cooler temps and I would certainly take it out myself in winter. One thing to note though.....it does NOT have the best ventilation so condensation would be something to take into consideration. But...a single wall tent would be worse, so there is that. As long as you have the tent guyed out properly it should be fine to handle a light snow load
I was debating whether i should get the overpriced footprint.. but your video of the fly- only set up is so beautiful that makes me really want to buy it..haha .. thanks again man
J Shin, I feel you brother. It really allows you to make this shelter so much more versatile. If you feel like you got some value from this video then please consider subscribing. I'll be putting up some fresh videos of a few new shelters I have once I do a little more testing with them. Thanks again
hey, thanks for your review. questions: what about moisture? it seems there is no good ventilation... and what about strong winds? doesn't look as massive as an msr hubba... would be glad if you answer me my questions. greets from bavaria/ ger
Thank you! Those are great questions. Yes, moisture can be an issue with this particular tent. There isn't a lot of space between the inner tent body and the fly which can restrict some airflow. Also, the inner body can be pressed against the foot of the tent by your feet and cause moisture to transfer to your sleeping bag. I don't have experience with this particular tent in high winds but I will say, if you position it properly in relation to the direction of the wind and guy out the tent properly, then it SHOULD withstand some pretty good gusts. Hope this helps! Happy trails 👣
Mine just came in the mail. Thanks. Question: If it's raining during setup, could you do the fast-fly setup first and just hang the tent in last under the fly to keep it dry? Thanks
Technically you could. But it would be difficult. You would have to end up unhooking the tips of the poles from the footprint at each 3 spots and connect them back to the tent body and again to the footprint so everything is secure. It could be done but with some difficulty. You're better off setting up before it really starts pouring .
Thank you for commenting Erasmo! That spot is at Lost Lake in Seward, Alaska. Check out my video for that trip.. ruclips.net/video/Ht-YUXXp0vo/видео.html

I totally understand what you're saying. I feel the same. Thanks for watching
Wow! Never seen anyone pitch the tent as tight as you did. Really nice!
Thenks! It's really key in setting up this particular tent. Not a lot of space between the fly and inner tent body.

Well done Sir! You can tell you know what you are doing. I order this tent the other day and it will be here tomorrow. Thanks for the Tips!!!
Glad I could be of some value. I you haven't already, subscribing to the channel or checking out my Patreon page would be a huge support

It's brilliant, works fantastically well and I really like the ingenuity of Big Agnes a lot.
Your videos make me miss my 40 years in akaska

It is a bit narrow. I agree
Great Review! Do you think this tent could be sufficient in lower temps and handle some snow fall?
Thank you!!

@@pathwaysalaska8757 thanks! That was super helpful. I’m looking for a lightweight tent for year round backpacking in the PNW
Nice!

@@pathwaysalaska8757 hey! thank you, my friend :-)
One more point. If you keep enough tension on the rainfly and inner body, then you can drastically reduce the moisture problems.
Mine just came in the mail. Thanks. Question: If it's raining during setup, could you do the fast-fly setup first and just hang the tent in last under the fly to keep it dry? Thanks
Technically you could. But it would be difficult.

@@pathwaysalaska8757 Thanks. I appreciate your insight
Are you sure about the weight? What you gave, sounds like the 2p, not the 1p.
"Packed weight" is 2# 3oz +4oz for the footprint
Do you know the weight of the fast fly setup compared to the regular weight setup? thanks
1 lb 7oz
Where is that camping spot that you put in the video towards the end?
Thank you for commenting Erasmo!
That spot is at Lost Lake in Seward, Alaska.
Check out my video for that trip..

@@pathwaysalaska8757 Thank you I just watched the video, I’m definitely going to be doing that hike this summer!
Sufficient for the CDT?
Yes this tent would be perfect for the CDT.
Can you do the fast fly setup without the groundsheet?
Great question. No you cannot. You must use the footprint to put the anchor the fly into
This works with no footprint, right?
It sure does!
@@benlavigueur4275 thank you
