Yeah that helps!Have you thought about using the extra guy out locations to get it pulled out a little more?
I bet its been in 30 mph with me and was fine. I don't know if any tent is THAT fun in high winds. haha. I'd bet this doesn't shed the wind as good as a Hilleburg. It's just not built for that specific purpose.Has anyone used this tent in ripping wind? How high of wind would you feel good sitting in this tent?
Good point. I was just curious. I'd like to get this tent to use for myself when I do trips in the Appalachian mtns. I also want to have it so one day so I can go out west and try stuff above the tree lines.I bet its been in 30 mph with me and was fine. I don't know if any tent is THAT fun in high winds. haha.

Technically just 3 season.Is this a 4 season tent or just 3 season?
Awesome man! Enjoy!I pulled out my Owyhee this afternoon and seam sealed the tent like Argali says to do in their video. I’m not as good as they are and I needed just a little more to finish it up. I thought I was going to have to seam seal the insert but it’s taped.
After it cured, I set it up twice. I followed Argali’s instructions. I set it up two more times the way Dialed in Hunter said and it was much faster. It seemed to be less stooping and bending. Not to mention it is like 95degF here.
I compared it to my Copper Spur 2P. I think I can set them up in about the same amount of time. The Owyhee sure does pack up smaller. I am going to throw a piece of Tyvek under it. I don’t want any pin holes. I’m also going to pick up some MSR Groundhog stakes for the extra tie-downs.
Overall I can’t wait to use it on a scouting trip/hunt.
Nice man! Just slept in it in the high country again last weekend. Hope you like it as much as I do!I’ve got one headed my way now. Will be using it for mule deer archery in badlands country for 5 days. I will give full review when I get back.
I was thinking the same thing about the bivy. I saw a Katabatic bivy that I thought would be interesting to try. Running a bivy inside it could save like 1lb.I pre order this and planned to use this last year when I spiked up a few nights or so. I ended up killing my bull the 1st evening 2.5 miles away from base camp so didn't even get the chance to try it out. Glad to see a review though.
So, on the days I will be spiking back, I will be running this floorless with a bora bivy, xtherm pad and quilt. Im as excited as the day I preordered this.![]()
I suppose ya just never know!
