Anyone use Tarptent

[COSA]

Really like my notch as well, the two vestibles/entries are great for storing gear and seam sealing was very easy. Only thing I did not like was the 4 stakes that came with it. I upgraded to some longer stakes and added 2 stakes and 6 ft. guylines from the top of the poles. I think it added 3-4 oz, but it's fairly sturdy now. I also got the tent with the solid interior siding which adds an extra ounce and some wind protection/warmth.

Yep, me too.
After pitching it, and not liking the grab of the factory stakes in loose dirt, realized they weren't gonna cut the mustard for me. So, along with ordering extra guy lines, also upgraded to six titanium stakes. Could scrounge that stuff up @ REI, or wherever, but are also available direct from Tarptent...

I've used a HS Tarptent for about a dozen years. Its a quality US made product- very light and compact with great customer service- heck you can call and quiz the owner if you have questions. These are the best I've found for light mtn tents

They are great tents. I have spent a lot of nights in them.

I second this. Our Double Rainbow served us well for many years. Henry is a great guy, too. Definitely worth supporting.

We've moved onto tarps now for weight savings, but if I were going to be packing in places where weather was likely, I'd definitely consider a tarptent again.
