Backpacking tents

[Elkaholic87]

I bought the Hubba Hubba NX a few days ago. I can tell this tent will last a long time. I'm going to use it on a backcountry elk hunt this year. I would already recommend this tent.

I ended up buying one a few weeks back too.  Used it on a one-nighter and it was great.  Really nice feature-set for the weight class.  I'm going to try the minimalist setup with just the rainfly and poles on ym next outing and see how things go.

Took the new tent ( Kifaru ) out for a short trip. hiked 3.5 miles behind locked gates and had a good time, Set up a couple Game cams. First time I used a floor less tent and i liked it. It will take a couple trips to figure everything out before hunting season. I carried the tent. My son carried the pegs and the tent pole. Less then 3 pounds each. Plenty of room for the two of us. I would not try more then 2 Adults plus gear.

I will need to add the liner to the tent. I think Condensation in any single wall tent will be a issue. The liner should fix this.

I've got an older Marmot 1-person, free standing tent that I use. It's not very light but I've gone threw some hellacious storms over in the Olympics with it and it's kept me warm and dry. But if I was looking for a replacement I'd look at the ALPS tents on backcountry.com. They're super cheap (probably made by small children in China) and pretty light weight. Plus if you don't like it backcountry has the return policy that REI used to have; if you're not satisfied send it back. I buy all my gear (non camo) through them.

I like the mountainsmith light. Set it up yesterday for my first time.

I don't like that setup with mice or bugs.  I still need a floor or a best in my sl5.  Have nest, half floorless.

Dreamingbig-Do you have the floor only  setup for the sl5?
I just got a sl3 with the factory bathtub floor. No nest.

I wonder if that top vent on the XPG is worth 5oz?
Otherwise looks the same -  door zipper flipped around

big agnes has a less obnoxious color
