Argali Owyhee 1P Tent | What do you wanna know?

Has anyone used this tent in ripping wind? How high of wind would you feel good sitting in this tent?

 

[Jaden Bales]

Have you thought about using the extra guy out locations to get it pulled out a little more?

Yeah that helps!

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.

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.

Also, does anyone have a used one they want to sell?

Well I bit and my Argali Owyhee is inbound. It’s going to miss an upcoming scouting trip by 2 days. I got another trip planned so I’ll use it.

After this Argali tent, it’s on to the Absaroka 4P for the family.

Is this a 4 season tent or just 3 season?

Technically just 3 season.

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.

Awesome man! Enjoy!

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.

Nice man! Just slept in it in the high country again last weekend. Hope you like it as much as I do!

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 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.

Any chance you’ll do this shelter in DCF? Hint hint.

I suppose ya just never know!

I got my Owyhee into the woods this weekend for an attempt at bear hunting in SC. I was unsuccessful. Hurricane Helene really wrecked the mountains.

Can anyone tell me if these have interior hang loops for hanging a bivy sack? I can't tell from photos or the description. Thanks.

If you want to hang a bivy in a pyramid shelter run a cord from the peak (either from the loop or the pole) staked to the ground With the cord passing inline with where your head will be and use a spike hitch or taut line hitch to tie into that cord and keep the mesh off your face.

I am just loving this thing. No complains here. So fast and easy to set up. I pitch it high to draft and don’t get any more condensation in it than I do my Nemo hornet. Just been running a tyvek ground sheet that I put some grommets in and 4 small stakes. I added some dots of left over tent sealer to the ground sheet to add some grippers for the pad. Perfect room for me on early season archery hunts. Plenty of room for bow and exo 4800. Perfect balance of weight and comfort for me. Can’t say enough good things.

So far, I have had a chance to use this on a handful of scouting trips this summer, archery elk, and my moose hunt. I like the flexibility of being able to use just the fly, or both the fly and inner tent. I have had some condensation issues, but feel they can be mitigated by not cinching it down to the ground so tightly. That holds true with any tipi style or single wall tent I would imagine. I'm 6' and 200lbs. I find its adequate room for me and my gear. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase, and will likely get years of use out of it.
