Seek Outside Guardian Sneak Peek

[RockChucker30]

We've been working on this tent for a while now. The Guardian is a big brother to the Silex, and is about as light as you can go for a two person hot tent.

The Guardian has the higher opening door (similar to Silex) that allows you to enter by squatting down instead of going to your knees (Eolus has knee height).

It also sleeps two pretty comfortably, and will do two with a small UL wood stove. It's a big tent for one guy, but still light enough to pack for that purpose.

I hunt solo or with Kevin pretty often, and I have a 5 year old boy and a 2 year old girl. This tent makes sense for me because it's light enough to solo, but big enough to squeeze in company if needed.

We don't have a release date yet...the pandemic slowed down product dev quite a bit, so it's likely this will be late fall or early 2022.

I’ve been eyeing the silex but I’m liking the looks of this as I wanted just a little more space. I’ll be watching for updates.

Very cool. Will this have its own nest?

sweet. sign me up for one in dyneema and a cub stove.

That sure looks nice. Silex was at the top of my list when I upgrade (hopefully next year). This looks like another good option!

Yes it will. The Eolus nest actually fits it pretty well, but the geometry isn't dialed.

Oh that looks like something I might need! Just takes two trekking poles to pitch it?

 

[RockChucker30]

Yep, or you can get two UL tent poles. We sell some that are very light. I have a little gadget on my trekking poles that lets me use them as shooting sticks or a bipod, so I don't like to sacrifice my trekking poles to the tent.

My Eolus is a great piece of kit for going in light during early season IMO.

The Guardian looks fantastic for 2 person HT setup!

Does the wall thickness from the redcliffe CF pole differ from the larger tipi poles? I am wanting to get a thicker CF pole and cut to size for my redcliffe, with a thicker walled pole

You could get our 6 and 8 carbon pole .. it will be very robust for the RC. The OD varies , sometimes the wall depending on pole.

I already placed an order yesterday for the RC replacement, but I will order a different larger one just for peace of mind. Thank you for the response.

Did the link break or get taken down? Would like to see this tent!

 

[lintond]

@Kevin_t any way to get the preview video? Looks like it was taken down.

tagging for updated video link

Link works! I scrolled back to the top.

Very cool. I love my Silex for a solo shelter, but I'd only go 2 people if it was my wife with me. The Guardian will definitely fill a niche.
