Ok Folks, I’m going to let go of some of my backpacking and camping tents in the next few day, so check back from time to time.
In total, I’ll put 4 or 5 tents up.
A Camel 2 man car camping/ back packing tent.
A Sierra Lightning 1 man backpacking tent w/footprint.
A Eureka Timberline Special Edition 2 man tent
A North Face Sequoia 4 man tent w/footprint.
(I pitched them all to get pictures and verify you have everything they came with.
I’m going to recommend in every case that you pitch it and waterproof the seams as I did with all my tents every couple of years).
Here’s the first one - Sierra Designs Lightning One Man Backpacking Tent
This tent is both super light and super fast to pitch. (I think that’s where the name Lightning comes in). Most days two tent pegs and the two poles are all you need. You should plan on cleaning and waterproofing the seams, it hasn’t been used in a while. This is a very airy tent. It’s super versatile, will keep you dry and can be quickly pitched four different ways. This is the lightest and fastest tent to pitch I’ve ever owned.
1. Tent on top of the footprint covered with the fly.
2. Tent only
3. Tent with footprint
4. Tent with fly
This was a ridiculously high dollar tent and I hope you can see that by looking at the pictures.
If you would like, I can meet you somewhere where we can pitch anyone of these together.
Here’s some pictures, set up a few different ways.
