Hey, is that the Saddle 2? What do you guys think of it? I am thinking that when it comes time to replace my Stratospire 2, I might give this a try...
@toesalad we LOVE it. Its definitely smaller than the stratosphire (we went to tarptent HQ last year and compared them side by side in Henry's backyard) but it feels luxuriously roomy compared to everyone else's 2 man tents. We have made some small changes to it to make it a little more user friendly- I can put up a post/some photos if you like? The small changes we made have made the tent 100% the best tent we have owned. It's had only two nights where it got condensation build up (because of where we pitched it, not because of the tent) but both times we stayed completely dry inside because of the full double layer (unlike many hikers we know with the Z packs Duplex).
If you have the time and energy, I would love to see the changes you made :-) If you posted them, I would also send Henry an email and point him at your posts...
As an aside, I have created a separate journal for my own gear geekery, if you had enough interesting things to post on that topic (and you were so inclined), it might be cool for you to do something similar.
