Ran across a new interesting tent to check out.

If I known about the Scarp1 tent I may have bought it instead

of Hillberg Akto I have?

The Akto I have has really tough fabric so I have little regrets.

but the above tent has two vestibules and you can add extra poles. And it is cheaper!

 

This tent maker is coming on with new designs and bears watching.

That looks cool, I've always like tarptents, I wonder how much it weighs with the different options (freestanding poles or fabric vs. mesh inner tent.

it looks so big until you see the guy standing next to it.

 

44 ounces (1250 g)

Crossing poles: 12 ounces (340 g)

they look flimsy. If you want light there are better options IMHO
