    Maybe its time for a tent.

    What ultra light tents are people using.
    I have been always pitching a tarp gor my alpine hunts. My hunting partner has been harassing me to get a tent but i quite like some of the conveniences of a tarp.
    I should at least look into it. So what tent and why?

    Nemo Dagger or MSR Hubba Hubba NX - both pretty slick. Might sell the MSR and get a Seek Outside Cimarron with a stove though.

    Also have a Moutainsmith Mountain Shelter LT which is good for spiking out. Uses trekking poles to pitch. Think it’s only 2 lbs.

    It's an issue, because these sociopath environmentalist's, will dilute the facts.

    Well im liking the seek outside products. The option of a stove is the big hook for me.

    $649 wow you can buy a lot of tarps for that money. Retired, fixed income doesn't afford those luxuries.
    The challenge of retirement is how to spend time without spending money.
    The worst day slinging lead is still better than the best day working.
    Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

    Tigrr im not trying to justify the price but when you compare it to other ultralight options you will quickly see the price is good for the amount of available room. But i agree the $$ makes me think a tarp isn't that bad. Im hoping something like this will extend my stays in the alpine. The snow is often flying by sept 10 up top and somtimes it there to stay. Its usually the weather that pushes me out or prevents me from going.

    I hear ya. How much does the stove weigh? 5 inches of snow and how to you get fuel? Carry it up too.
    My mountain climbing days are behind me!!
