So....................as most of you here on the slide spend quite a bit of time researching gear throughout the year and beyond, I am looking for some REAL world experience on a one person tent that can withstand heavy wind and weather. I'm looking for personal experiences on being in the shit.
We had super heavy winds this year during hunting season and a big agnes copper spur 2 and a marmot tungsten UL 1 got literally TRASHED. Poles bent, fabric ripped, zippers broke, etc. Now I realize that this year was a bit extreme but we got our eyes open as to some ultralight gear has its tradeoffs. Elkhunter777 and myself are literally yelling at each other even though we are about 7 feet apart-----"Damn, we should be in a Hilleberg, " all the while holding tent poles up in order for the tents from collapsing.
So, keeping the above in mind and we are willing to pack an extra couple of pounds.....what have you all used that can withstand those conditions?? And this is strictly for backpack style assaults.
