one man tent?

[chase986]

Im traveling to patagonia for six months of trecking and climbing, and Im wondering if anyone can reccomend a good one man tent(perhaps bivy)that will withstand the full blown winds of the patagonian winter?cheers

Consider the Hilleberg Akto. It's not a mountaineering tent, but its weight is reasonable, it has a vestibule, and numerous guy-out points. This picture cuts off all the stake points, but you can read about it in more depth on Hilleberg's website.

might also check out the bibler tripod bivy, depending on what you want. ~ 2 lbs, single wall, well ventilated and not clausterphobic. stands up to high winds very well but you can't cook from inside, no vestibule, and changing clothes inside is challenging.

I've got a tripod bivy and I really recomend it if your trying to go super light, pleanty of room to roll around and read a book, tho yes getting clothes on and off is a little bit of a challenge. With that said spending 6th months in Patgonia you will find your self in many situations I imagine where you might want a little more. When ever I am alone in Patagonia I usually just sack up and carry a I-tent or Eldorado(the small one can never remember), that or a one of the BD equivelent tents would be awsome. From my personal experinces in Patagonia its always nice to have it a litte plush down there, as you may find your self stuck in it for a while.
