Dall sheep 1 person tent recommendations

[Steppone]

First post here and I would appreciate an recs. I'm going on a Dall sheep hunt in AK this Sept and need a good light tent. I was planning to but a Kuiu Summit 1 star but they are sold out of the mesh liners and don't know if or when they will get more in. Maybe I would be fine without it so I'm open to opinions about that as well. I've hunted moose and caribou in AK before but this will be my first real backpacking hunt and definately need to keep the weight down. I already have a lot invested in this hunt so cost isn't really a concern. Thanks,

Welcome to Rokslide. Not sure if this tent is AK worthy but I really like my Durston X Mid 1p. It's worth a look.

Thanks, I'll check it out

Jealous! I went on a sheep hunt in the Brooks last fall and it was hands down one of my favorite trips Ive ever been on.

For what it's worth, I used our Rincon 2P Pro in Dyneema with a half insert, which I preferred over a 1P tent because I had more space in wet weather to hang out, cook and store all my gear. If I went on 100 sheep hunts thats the setup I would take again every time as it had the right balance of weight and space.

There are plenty of other options out there and I'm not responding to you to try to get you to buy one of our shelters, but I'd look for something comparable space-wise and look at Dyneema options of money isn't your biggest concern.

Also, if it's at all helpful, DM your email and I'll email you my spreadsheet with my full gear list from my hunt.

I appreciate the recommendation I will check it out. Would love to see your gear list but I don't have enough posts to DM yet maybe you can send me one? Not sure if it works that way, thanks

Just curious about the details of the hunt but are you going with an outfitter or are you an Alaska resident?

I lived there when I was a kid but now I live in SC so I had to hire a guide

That looks like a sweet setup.

You have my curiosity, why do you need to supply you own tent if you hired a guide?

 

[Steppone]

So I don't have to sleep with some dude i don't know for 10 days...

This is an excellent tent for the weight and I weathered some pretty good high country storms in it. Spacious for 1 person and gear inside.

On both my NWT Dall and BC Stone hunts I used Hilleberg Soulo because I wanted a one man tent with a little room and a nearly bullet proof tent. Inevitably, on every one of the 8 or 9 far north hunts I’ve been on there’s been at least one day and usually two or more that I’ve been tent or cabin bound and room to at least sit up makes being tent bound a little more tolerable.
