## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do I need to buy a footprint for this tent?**
A: I generally run this tent without the nest and just a 3’x7’ 20d ground cover. I tied the ground cloth to the shell and it works really well. It weighs 4oz so the tent in this configuration is around 26oz with 8 stakes.

**Q: So the dimensions are 8.5 l x 3.5 w for the fly.  what is lxw of the nest?  all other specs for the nest are given except lxw.**
A: The nest dimensions are L= 7ft 1in W = 2ft 6in. The foot print of the tent is quite a bit larger than the habitable space but this does ensure that you stay dry.

**Q: This shows the current high route, but the picture when i look at the order shows the old one.  which is it?**
A: The new model

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well designed.
*by G***G on July 18, 2023*

A great little trekking pole tent. A few notes from this evening's test set-up:- Weight: The packed weight (including all provided stakes and the stuff sack) of the tent I received is 2 lbs 4 oz, not 1 lb 15 oz.- Staking Out: The fly does need to be staked down squarely, but the decent length cinches on the stake loops give flexibility in stake placement and allow for easy adjustment after staking the fly down. I had no trouble getting the tent taut.- Inner Tent Attachments: The six inner tent attachments also have cinches, which are nice and provide a lot of flexibility on exact placement of the inner tent.- Buckles on Fly: The buckles across the rain fly zippers (two on the long side, one on the short side) should help reduce wear and tear on those zippers as well.- Short Stakes: The stakes are fairly short. It'll really depend on the type of ground how well they work out. I don't expect they would work well at all on sandy soil, and this non-freestanding tent is 100% dependent on those stakes succeeding. However, they worked fine in my test set-up.I'll try to update this once I've had it out on the trail.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good quality, very light, especially for the price
*by S***N on July 6, 2023*

I found this one person ultra light tent to be good quality, and very light. The price was reasonable. The only issue I had was that your trekking poles need to be 119 cm and my poles did not go that short.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressed.
*by A***R on April 30, 2022*

First trekking pole tent I have used. It was pretty easy to set up. Not as easy as a freestanding tent, but not overly complicated. They made a video where Andrew Skurka goes through the setup in depth on YouTube which helped. Has enough room for a large size thermarest xtherm pad. Vestibules aren't the biggest, but certainly usable. For the price, weight, and the fact it is a double walled tent it is hard to beat.
