Argali Yukon 8p review

[Josh Boyd]

This past fall I spent a lot of nights using the Argali Yukon 8p tent as a base camp at my vehicle. It was a mix of windy conditions on the prairie of eastern Montana and heavy precipitation conditions in the western half of the state. Use this thread to ask questions you may have about the shelter and its use. The final review should be posted shortly which should answer some questions but may generate even more.

Great review, Josh.

I have spent more than twenty nights in this tent. It is easy to set up, great in the wind, spacious, and very packable with stock. Brad and company have a winner!

This will be my next large shelter. I'm glad I held off from buying a courthouse.

Any testing or feedback with snow use? Looks awesome!

Yes. This past November was really wet in my area and the precip came as rain, switching to snow and back to a gloppy mixture of the two. I was never at an elevation where it would snow a foot overnight but the wet heavy snow loads shed really well from the shelter. The steep angled sides helped with the natural sloughing of snow, and the center ridge of the shelter didn't sag much at all. Over a few storm cycles snow would build along the bottom edge and would need to be scraped away. Overall it held up to snow quite well.

How bad was the condensation?

It was not bad at all. I used the clip-in half liners which were extremely effective at minimizing condensation. Firing up a stove every day helps a lot too.
