We had a great time on our shakedown camping trip and were impressed with the tent's performance and features. We're curious to hear from other ultralight camping enthusiasts - what's your go-to tent and why?

Fantastic review. I have this tent and will use it for the first time this summer

[enigmamatrix]

Well now I want to go camping and try out my cold weather tolerance!

How well has this tent held up in windy and rainy conditions? Thining about this particular tent for our motorcycle camp trips for the wife and I. Dont need a 4 seaon tent, but want a quality 3 season tent that can withstand the rain and wind when it pops up

[jamespouillon]

This is the tent I bring on the rare occasion the wife backpacks. It has a lot of interior pockets for storage. I would prefer a rectangle interior but it has plenty of room for 2 25 inch wide pads.

Thank you for the video, nice to see an interior view. I really really want to love this tent but I can't stand that these tent companies rate these tents as a 3 person while 25" pads like the ones you used are becoming the standard! With my wife, daughter, and myself I am looking at the UL4 for that reason. I would love to find a freestanding backpacking tent with a 75"-80" wide footprint but it seems they are a unicorn! I really enjoy your videos, keep it up!

Can't go wrong with a Copper Spur if you want a traditional tent with a rainfly and tent poles. Big Agnes has been making the Copper Spur model for years. Since I can remember, it's probably been easily a decade. So they are able to improve upon it over the years.

This tent looks so cozy! I recently upgraded my Copper Spur HV UL 2 tent to this one since it was so cramped in the 2 person tent with two of us each having 20 in. wide mats at the time. Now my husband uses the 25 in. wide mat. So I can see from your video that this 3 person tent will be very roomy for us especially since I still use a 20 inch wide mat.

I just bought the same in the HV UL2 size. Resupply from REI so cheaper…

Using it for car and hike camping over the next 5 weeks across the NW.

Enjoyed this video, thanks!

Thanks for the video! This looks perfect for two people and a dog.

[ItsNotFate]

Just got mine same size, I'm so excited!

[vancey]

You do know... that you don't have to split up just the tent components between 2 people. Give the other person some of your other gear and carry the whole tent yourself if you want. This "sharing the tent" cracks me up. 😂

Great vid, thanks for the info and demonstration !

Sleeping in clothing within a sleeping bag is counterproductive.

Instead, try sleeping without any clothing. Your body heat will bounce off the bag and keep U very warm.
