Kuiu Summit Refuge tent

[Soundbite]

Is anyone using this? I tried to search for some reviews but all I found was classified listings. They’re on clearance right now and they look like a pretty good deal for 150 bucks not overly excited about aluminum poles. Has anybody tried to do carbon fiber poles ultimately looking for a shelter for two people have been looking at some of the Argali stuff as well.

I've had one since they crowd funded them like 10+ yrs ago. I paid more than that back then and am happy with it. There are some threads on here if you dig around.

Thanks, are you using your trekking poles or did you get the aluminum ones?

I have the floor, and bug net. It’s been just as strong with my trekking poles as the aluminum tent poles. It’s a cool tent, I’ve had one for 6 years now.

It's a steal for $150.

These are on sale right now but it doesnt have a floor. How important is it to have a floor in October in Colorado in your opinion?

I prefer floorless unless there is deep snow. It keeps things cleaner and allows water infiltration. Bonus is you can take a leak inside your tent if you're really lazy at night.

What about if there’s a heavy rain? Doesn’t the water run under the edges and thru the tent?

Not if you pitch it in the right spot. If you pitch it in a hole even a floored tent will still get wet.
