"Seek Outside" great lightweight trekking pole tents. Made in America

I've recently switched to hammocks since I'm always camping in forests. I don't see myself returning to tents as my regular set up...but it would be a trekking pole tent under most situations other than sand or extremely rocky terrain. I'm a fan of Tarptent because their designs are so unique.

I picked up a Plex solo earlier this year. I was very dubious of the single wall design, I have an old Terra Nova tent with a single wall design that was only used for 5 nights due to horrific condensation.
The Zpacks has been like a revelation. Its rapidly become my favourite tent for hiking. I still use my tarptent stratospire li for cycling as the extra room is handy. DCF and trekking poles are a match made in heaven.

I would probably have been reluctant to try trekking pole tents but my 1st backpacking trip over 10 years ago was done with a blue tarp 1 used ski pole and whatever sticks I could find for more elaborate set ups. I still don't have one yet but I got a dcf tarp which has worked quite well but when I have the money I would like a 2 person dcf trekking pole tent for when it's really rainy or extra buggy and I'm with my dog

We managed to squeeze in a bug bivy this summer but I think he would have preferred a 2 person tent

That being said the nights that weren't buggy and we just rocked the tarp worked great for us to share

I recommend learning non free standing tents in the backyard in low light without a headlamp it sucks and takes forever but once you get that down it gets super easy in good conditions once you get it down you could do it blindfolded

Yes! I’ve been rocking a Lunar Solo for two seasons very similar to the Zpaks one. Single Treking Pole and 6 stakes. It held up on my Uinta Highline Trail trip this year! My pack made a cameo in your Nemo shot! 😁 I see you pitched the Zpak at Teal exactly where I pitched mine earlier this year! 👍👍

Tarps with bug nets attached! I like this idea for summertime camping. Fall and winter, I'd prefer the versatility of just a tarp.

I can’t believe you just got on board with this.

I have the Paria outdoors arches tent, the serria design tensegrity trekking pole tents and several freestanding tents all preformed well but required pre set up understanding to get the full benefit. Is so true

[BackcountryTreks]

Durston tents are where it’s at. IMO 🍻

Hello 👋 my outdoors friend. Thank you for sharing this informative video. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 🤗

What if you want to go hiking while your tent is pitched? Do you have to bring 2 sets of poles?

[volodymyr]

Hi! Ordered trekking pole tent to check. But have one interesing question. How to setup tent in cold weather, when the ground is frozen but there is no snow and no stones either?

[jamesblake]

So if you only got to choose one would you choose a freestanding, semi freestanding, or tracking poll tent?

Trekking pole tents
Why choose a $600 tent????
Review the Lanshan Pro 1 and 2
Sub 1 kilo
Sub $200

Is the handle of your trekking pole stuck down against the ground which could be wet and muddy? Or is it inside the bathtub? I can't see necessarily from the videos and I've watched a lot of videos on YouTube. Thanks

Excessive steaks is the only downside I feel to trekking pole tents.. everything else is a win you can always make a pole in a pinch I really think removable inner is the biggest multifunctional gain as well screw Zpacks🤣 MLD Duomid allll the wayyyy!!😊✌️💚 just got my Flextail pump, I have that same Bonfus steak bag also🙃✊️🔥

[chrisblyth]

Any condensation issues being single skinned?

[mysterylovescompany]

On the 1 hand, I love the weight savings. On the other hand, my claustrophobic ass does _not_ like being able to see a wall while lying on my back, looking straight up.
Sadness.😢

[dennisaskeland]

what you get dont match the pricing at all. less material = higher price
