How I Setup My Trekking Pole Tent On A Tent Platform

Tent platforms are sometimes a part of a thru-hike or backpacking trip. As a hiker that prefers tarps and non-freestanding tents, this can seem like a challenge. In this video I show a few simple and effective methods that I like to use to setup my tent or tarp if I am using a tent platform.

Toward the end of the video I also added a quick look at my new Pa'lante Joey in Ultraweave fabric since I've been getting a few questions about it. Skip to the 5:57 timestamp to see that part of the video.

Nice set up. I’ve been looking at sewing a palante pack myself how is it. 😊

A marline spike works better than a clove hitch for tying off stakes because it doesn't roll.

Hey, so what's your favorite Pa'Lante pack so far? This new joey looks really interesting. I own the desert and ultralight pack. How do you like your Nashville pack compared to the Pa'Lante?

Hey, great topic. Could you post a link to those stakes?
