Backpacking & Blisters: A Hiking, Backpacking, and Adventure Show · We Tested the NEWEST & Most POPULAR Tents. Which One is BEST? · 10 Aug 2026 podcast

Have you tried this one out, Michael? voice-verified

All right, so I think this is for a lightweight backpacker who shares a tent and maybe shares gear like carrying their gear. voice-verified

And for somebody who's not a teacher, because I don't think this is a good tent for a teacher salary. voice-verified

And um so I use this tent. voice-verified

Most recently on a trip to S to Sequoia and it's like very easy setup. voice-verified

It's like a weird hybrid single slash double wall design. voice-verified

But the way that it's designed where you stick the poles through this like I don't know, this flap up top provides like it naturally provides for ventilation. voice-verified

And so I didn't get any condensation issues, which is a common problem with single wall tents. voice-verified

It's a true two person tent and it's around two and a half pounds. voice-verified

So I really like the weight and the space for for what you got there. voice-verified

And then one of the nights I was there was I was camping above tree line and we had probably the worst winds I've ever had backpacking before. voice-verified

And it held up. voice-verified

Like it held up well. voice-verified

And I didn't even like guide out that well and it still held up. voice-verified

So so super impressed with the strength of the tent. voice-verified

So that's what I that's what I liked about it. voice-verified

Critiques, the materials are a bit fragile. voice-verified

I think that as tents are starting to like shed weight, durability becomes an issue. voice-verified

So there's actually like a wear mark in the inside part of my vestibule. voice-verified

I noticed that during the first trip. voice-verified
