its MR.gumby 2u

thanks for your posts, guys. being a single wall, i'd expect some condensation, but i was concerned that it might be constant and major, as was my very old s.d. single wall tent. it sounds like it's a managable amount, so i'm thinking i'll pick one up. thanks again, phil

bumping this up one time as i'll be heading to the states in a couple more weeks and am still looking for some imput re: condensation issues before buying.

i've been using using a previous version of yours, ve23 or 24 or something for 15 years or so and still going strong. if it's just you & your buddy, i don't see any reason to "upgrade". still, if you must, you could do worse than these price point tents: for your kids' backyard camping, one-up your neighbors w/ one of these tnf dome more seriously, if you're considing a basecamp tent basecamp tent for your hanging belay bivies, only $50,000 hanging bivy for that ultra-extreme pitch

this one is just too deep for me

that's MR.Gumby indeed 2u.

i'm actually from the land of quahogs. i'm planning a climbing roadtrip out west.

titanium certainly sounds like the way to go, but are those russian ones the ones with the little pop-up knobs for speedy screwing? speed screwing sounds good to me. also, does titanium work on bare rock? could i bolt my next route in the time it takes to pitch my tent??

how much rail would i have to tear up to collect 120 spikes? the main problem i see with this is that i'd have to stop a lot earlier than usual to pitch camp. once gathered, do you carry the spikes with you, or do "real ballers" collect them every evening?

oh, i am so with you on this. if i cook my first night's dinner directly on the dome as it's cooling, i'll not only be able to save carrying 2 or 3 oz's of fuel, but be able to warm up my sleeping bag before crawling in. additionally, if i use it this january, the dome should melt down through the snowpack to terra firma where the ambient temp should be hovering around 32ﾟ. oh, i'll enjoy a quiet chuckle while everyone else is freezing their keester off.

but slightly more seriously, i'll be holding onto a handful of the better ones as well as the snow stakes, but the remaining 90 or so are more than i can use for beef brochettes. any ideas?

heehe. seems to be catchy

heehee again

it depends on how many of my women friends are coming along.

i'm planning on climbing mt. winniethepooh in illinois. i have 120 tent pegs. would these be enough? if not, would 4 trekking poles, 4 pickets, 3 ice axes and a couple of ice tools be enough of a supplement for any conditions i might encounter. i want to be prepared, cause i hear those who aren't prepared for the unexpected are those who die. thanks in advance, its MR.gumby 2u

"if accurate" is the key word. 9oz for a full-sized R4 rated pad would beat anything else on the market and leave them in the dust. and this is PO's "budget concious" offering for beginners. beats their own best high-tech inflatable warmth-to-weightwise by maybe 50%. too good to be true
