 At 230 dollars, I felt like that was a pretty big steal to be able to walk away with everything that I needed to get started hammock Camping And among those items, I was sent the Quest Tarp, which is a Sil nylon tarp from Hammock Gear. It's fairly popular option. it's also lightweight. I also received and I put some of this stuff in my own bags

 Um, because I was in a position like a lot of people are, I was curious about Hammock Camping and wanted to give it a try. However, currently I feel like in the market there was a lot of confusion on what you need, what you don't need, and what was going to work best for each individual. Well, for me, Hammond Gear solved that problem with the Wonderlust Kit, which is what I purchased back in late September and decided to use it as my primary shelter on my Appalachian Trail section hike in October. Now, I don't know who what the first company was to put out a basically one and all kit, but I know that Hammock Gears caught my attention first for not only what was in the kit, but the price tag on the kit

 So it's definitely do your research and don't be afraid to try it. I waited too long. One of the things you're going to find out immediately with this system is that it does not take long at all to get comfortable, even if you've never hammock camped. I was worried about being uncomfortable with being in a hammock, but I adapted to it almost immediately and like I said, probably got what I would say was some of the best sleep I've ever gotten on trail in 20 plus years of backpacking

 hit that subscribe button. I'd love to have it be a part of my community. And until next time guys, remember to always hike your own hike.

Hammock Gear Wanderlust Kit (Real World Review!)

 So there's the same zipper system on the back side and this is the stuff sack that the hammock goes into and again, sort of similar to the hammock suspension or this, this daisy chain. this just clips on really quickly and easily. It's got these line locks there, just attention so no knots needed and really super easy to clip an unclip. No small fiddly hardware that's going to break or hard to handle with gloves

 It's very large and generous in size. It gives you lots of protection and one of the nice things about these tarps and what I do more mostly is if it's not actually raining on the air I don't think it's immediately gonna rain, actually. just take this tarp, leave those stakes out there and just throw it back like this. It's really easily deployable, but then I have all the views in operating area out here

 and I actually used quilts mostly to sleep on the ground. The next thing is going to be this: so that's the economy burrow top quilt in the hammock there and this is the economy incubator. bottom quilt. Both of these are +20 so they're they're gonna

 You can upgrade this kit and you can get a top quilt which is essentially the same as your sleeping bag and a bottom quilt which is the same as your sleeping pad or your NeoAir pad that you would use in a tent or sleep on the ground and have a complete set up including what they call your insulation. Or you could just use this with your traditional sleeping bag and ground pad. Not quite as good, but definitely doable. This hammock kit weighs about two and a half pounds

Hammock Gear WanderLust Hammock Kit: Detailed Review

Switchback Travel

A number of leading ultralight tents are built with Dyneema—the high-tech fabric commonly used in boat sails and praised for its strength-to-weight ratio—and the Zpacks Duplex is best in class. With an incredibly low all-in weight of just 1 pounds 5 ounces (counting stakes and using two trekking poles for support), it’s by far the lightest tent here, yet still sleeps two and includes a bathtub floor for protection from the elements. In use, we found the Zpacks to feel decently roomy for its weight with a 48-inch peak height, and you can adjust the dimensions fairly easily depending on the campsite and conditions. In the end, no ultralight tent is perfect, but the Duplex is a high-quality option that has been relied upon by serious thru-hikers for years.

What are the shortcomings of the Zpacks Duplex? We’ve had no issues with water entering the tent—even while camping in snow—but the open sides and thin materials definitely can make it feel drafty in certain conditions. Second, with a trekking pole design you don’t get the steep walls of tents like the Copper Spur above, making the Zpacks a feasible but cramped option for two backpackers. And third, setting up the tent is more complicated than with a freestanding model, so we recommend practicing before heading out to make sure you know how to get a taut, even pitch. Last but not least, $699 is a big investment for a small tent, but for the right person the weight-savings are well worth it... Read in-depth reviewSee the Zpacks Duplex

I want bug protection and rain protection because I don't like bugs (f ticks) and sleeping out gives me the creeps sometimes, so not really into the tarp and bivy. It seems to me like the Zpacks Duplex (occasionally bring my wife or a friend) would be a good option, being 19oz and having bug and rain protection integrated (not a tarp or bivy system, so it's simpler i.e. one piece)

r/Ultralight - The Purchase Advice Thread - Week of December 20, 2021

 \- I like a larger space away from flies and mossies in Oz to hang out and read at the end of the day if required. Also if holed up avoiding rain the extra space is nice.

Hello fellow hikers! 

Looking to upgrade from my old/heavy REI single tent. Looking mainly at the Zpacks Duplex and Gossamer Gear The Two. Beside the price difference, does anyone have any experience or pros/cons for these two tents? 

TIA!

Gossamer The Two vs. Zpacks Duplex

 One of the biggest benefits to the Dynamo material is that it's waterproof. This tent is 100 waterproof. I've never had any sort of leaking. I've had no issues

 You don't have to worry about the coatings aging and having to be reapplied. There's very little here with this tint that's going to age and that's not the case with copycat versions of this tent. I know that I've said a lot in regards to this tent, so let me wrap this up. in the end: this is a very impressive tint

 Thousands and thousands of miles with no issues at all. That is impressive. One of the biggest benefits to the Dynamo material is that it's waterproof. This tent is 100 waterproof

 it is. With all of my experience with this tent, I'm ready to pass on my pros and cons. So let's start with the pros. First, This tent is without a doubt, extremely lightweight

Everyone Copies This Tent For A Reason - Zpacks Duplex Ultralight Tent Review

 So I won't go into any more specs on it because I'm sure you can find a lot of information out there about it. Let's talk about my opinion of this tent after 3,000 miles on the trail and what I like about it and what I don't like about it. So first off, obviously what I love about the tent is how insanely lightweight and roomy it is. As far as I'm concerned, it is the only tent that is this big that has this much room and is that low in weight

 So first off, obviously what I love about the tent is how insanely lightweight and roomy it is. As far as I'm concerned, it is the only tent that is this big that has this much room and is that low in weight. so that is definitely a plus for me. and it's why a lot of other people like it

ZPacks Duplex 3,000+ Mile Review

 However, the ONE thing that is bad about BOTH tents is the way the end tie outs are sewn and sealed. The tents BOTH leak at the tie out points. This is due to the way they are sealed. It seams as if the seam seal was applied FIRST and then the tie outs sewn into the fabric

UPADATED AGAIN: I have purchased both the 1 and 2 person tent. Seems like very well quality and lightweight. However, the ONE thing that is bad about BOTH tents is the way the end tie outs are sewn and sealed. The tents BOTH leak at the tie out points

 The tent leaked at both ends where the tie outs are sewn into the fabric. These points are seam sealed, so I do not know why or how it leaked at both points. The water on the floor of the tent was about the size of a quarter. I have since sprayed all of the fly seams and the tie out points with silicone treatment

Very lightweight.

 So we just/\s/want to lower that down and make sure you're/\s/ not getting rain splatter and wind coming/\s/into the tent so we'll just open the doors. We'll take our trekking poles which/\s/are set to around 120 centimeters now/\s/ Zpax recommends 122. But for a storm pitch you/\s/can come down to 110 or maybe even lower and/\s/ you can see that just brought us down a bunch. So/\s/now we'll just tighten this guy line a little bit/\s/ redo our doors, tighten our doors, you can/\s/see how much lower that even brought us/\s/ Now if we go ahead and do the same to the other/\s/side or we could technically even bring this lower/\s/ and we could bring yeah, if it was really storm and/\s/then we'd want to bring this in basically as tight/\s/ as you can for the doors

 Don't just stuff them door flaps in guy/\s/lines to the middle mosquito net tucked under. Now we like to float it in thirds first wind. a little more complicated when it's/\s/windy just tuck that back in there so we're folding thirds and/\s/then pull it into the middle, squish the air out again. make sure that/\s/everything is like tucked inside

How to Setup the Zpacks Duplex | + Tips & Tricks

 So for 2.3 ounces more weight and fifty dollars more in cost, is the extra six inches of floor space worth it? For the duplex cell, that's for you to decide for me since I've already bought the duplex cell, and I really loved the fact that I didn't have to stress over whether my feet were touching the wall and again, I didn't have my hood getting damp for me. Yes, because 20.8 ounces is still ridiculously light for a two-person tent, but if I was having to make that decision right now to go with the new duplex or the Duplex L, it would be pretty hard for me to make that decision and also just to make you aware

 First off, I love that this is a very lightweight two-person backpacking shelter. Finding a two-person shelter. that weighs significantly less than two pounds I think is a win if weight is important to you. The Duplex Cell is what I would say is the second most simple two-person tent up, the first being the duplex

 Yes, because 20.8 ounces is still ridiculously light for a two-person tent, but if I was having to make that decision right now to go with the new duplex or the Duplex L, it would be pretty hard for me to make that decision and also just to make you aware. if you're going to use the Duplex L as an actual two-person tent, you're planning to go backpacking with another person and share that space for only .8 ounces more

 The Z Packs Duplex L is very similar to the duplex that you all have seen me use in the past, but it's got more usable length, hence the name Duplex L. The difference as far as dimensions between the duplex and the Duplex L are in the bathtub floor. They take up the same space the same footprint at a campsite, but the floor width on the Duplex L is actually one inch more narrow than the regular duplex, and the floor length is a half a foot longer. So six more inches of space either in the head area or the foot area, depending on how you position yourself in the tent
