Original SL5 in Green (tough to find). Comes complete with full optional nest and factory pole. Since the pic was taken it has had extra long Lawson guylines with adjusters installed in every loop. Seam sealed. In perfect shape. Not sure what else to say.. Get a great pyramid for half the price of SO or Kifaru!

Hate to let go cause I know I'll probably never find another but need to thin the herd a bit..

$300 shipped gift or add 4%

Interested in this, what's the weight of it? Looks to be a 2-3 person?

Pole 12.15oz

Tarp with guy lines in stuff sack 2lb 1.5oz

Nest (no sack) 2lb 4.35oz (best weight I could get on my little scale, might be 1-2oz off in either direction)

So about 3#s without nest or 5#s with.

Nice setup if with a buddy. One person can carry tarp and pole and the other the nest. Or one carry tarp and one pole.

You could also upgrade the pole to the carbon to save half a pound but I love this pole. I had a ruta locura carbon once and snapped it so I stick to aluminum nowadays. Although if you do buy this and want to run a carbon let me know and I'll throw in the adjuster piece to my old carbon so you can save some $$$.

Super comfy for 2 people or 2 plus stove. Fits 3 well enough. Search around on Rokslide for old threads, this tarp was a favorite for many years.. Lots of pics on Google too. I thought I had more pics but can't find them and don't feel like setting it up right now lol

Does this have a stove jack installed already?

It does not. It was on the list but I never got around to it and haven't done any late season hunts in recent years..

I'm getting alot of PMs about this tent so wanted to add a few things:

It has no visible damage of any kind that I can find. Nothing wrong with it except that the seam sealing was a hint sloppy lol, but I'd rather have that than not enough! I've owned it for about 3-4 years? Bought it slightly used a little after GoLite went under (actually they hadn't gone under yet but they had been out of stock for over a year). Probably slept in it 15-20 nights total, which is the truth. I always take a smaller 1P tent when backpacking so it's mainly been used as a "car camping" tent. Tarp has a sack but nest doesn't. Tent has never let me down in rain or heavy winds. Never had any condensation problems at all either. Never had it in snow but I have no doubt it will work well. Alot of our Alaskan members have used this tent in the past
