Perfect Pitch: Gatewood Cape - Six Moon Designs 

Great product. Have had one for more than 3 years. I also put a cord loop in the fitting just below the net tent door then fix this around the handle of the walking pole to tighten up

I love my Cape. Three seasons so far

I don't know if it's on purpose but I have used a tree to hold it up so no pole and more romm. I've been pitching it in a similar shape to the triangular zelter shelter. This set up gives me a side door and is easier to get into. It's not a perfect pitch but I like it I also changed it with the serenity net tent. If you on zip the doors you can also use this as a tarp. I've been experimenting with pitches I am a big guy so getting in can be awkward for me but the space in side is satisfying. Where I'm at we have extremely harsh winters condensation is a big issue for me anytime with this tent. Hopefully I can try pitching it with the way you did in this video and get good air flow I noticed the red yellow gray blacks straps buckles at the the top can raise and lower the tent for ventilationOr or to get more coverage in the winter that freezing air in the Gap makes me close it up more but that's when the condensation gets worse so I'm practicing bed roll that I saw on a channel called grunt proof and basically you can roll it around you like a baby military poncho it's pretty cool stuff so that I can have more ventilation we also deal with enormous amounts of snow so I have noticed it sheds pretty well and it is difficult to have the steaks penetrate The Frozen ground for this I use snow pack with longer cords I added to the ends and also I fill bags plastic bags with snow and using his anchors and wrap them in snow just a tip for anybody and carry any cheap bag plastic bags and then they could be used for something else if you have to and then wait pretty much nothing to create an anchor or you could use sandbags which is extra weight. The fabric feels nice I dig the lightweight I dig how you can shorten the length of the cape or where as just a cape and it's easier to set up after much practice from me I took me a long time to learn honestly but if I set it up it's just a pure middle without the two front ends pulled and no inner it's not quite long enough to lay without pulling out one of those ends but the pyramid shape you can have it set up in a minute almost and I try to do the quickest setups I can because I try to practice in any conditions possible. Amongst the worst is when it is really windy I have noticed the wind is not forgiving with this tent I'm a weirdo when it comes to carrying shelter on my EDC at all times and something to lay on which I got the polycro sheets from you guys as well and I keep one of those folded up so I can take naps as I'm out and about. This shelter is really awesome and not to name drop with the zelter shelter but I dig both you guys a shelters and I have British heritage so it coming out of the UK's kind of fun. It's more breathable but it's not nearly as packable it is a huge tent and it is heavy but I love them both but I'm not going to be fit in the zelter shelter in my pocket LOL I love this tent and it's price point is not bad I also have elastic around tied to the guy out so I can wrap it around myself so the Pancho doesn't blow all over in the wind when I'm wearing it. And I added cheap little paracord buckles little ones to each tie out so I can easily connect each of the corners or disconnect I used color cord once it may be a little weird to have pink yellow and blue weird blues and but it the color combination really actually helps me line up the right side cuz there's nothing like thinking you have it set up right and it's all backwards inside and that's really bad when it is on the opposite side of zero. Drying out the tent is something that I need to work on my speed and efficacy with since there is condensation potentially sometimes it's something that I need to factor Great tech guys thank you for the video I'm going to look more into this and am I right about it being basically unzipped being a tarp in and of itself it says dark mode but they always show the doors on zipped in it and regular shape you could probably pull off a plow point configuration maybe even a frame or lean to shelter with this I also try to go minimalist with my setup focusing more on skill versus just good equipment some people might be annoyed by adding your own seam sealant to it not having it on I actually enjoyed the learning process of that myself. Am I right that this can be a multiple different types ways to wear it you could have it in Cape mode and then tuck everything under your shirt so you had a muscle shirt underneath the regular shirt and it wouldn't rub your skin too much you're probably make you sweat but you can probably tuck the hood in if you didn't want to wear it as Cape have it get caught on something this is truly a genius design I've looked into some of your backpacks I am intrigued by them I've kind of tampered with making my own poles I've vacillate on whether having a pole using a tree I don't like to rely on trees cuz I like to be able to set up in places that might not have trees plus deadfall is something I'm still trying to learn from widowmakers. Another interesting feature of this is that you can have the inner inside and unzip the main most of the main zipper the bigger one go through that with your head have your arms underneath and are you unzip the little for the back side the zipper and you can put your head through there and put your head through the poncho head hole I don't know if that's by design or if that's just me being creative but people say you can put it up when you're inside of it and that is a poncho thing. Like I was saying with the poles trekking pole I work in inches so centimeters is difficult for me but I think I do have markings on my holes and to be honest I'm kind of might cave in to getting your guys's tentpole and steaks I have plenty of steaks but I've used telescoping arms for tripods and different things to create my own telescoping tent poles thing is they don't have the same strength that the carbon fiber poles really would and the arbit heavier and all the moving parts can have water drain in and rust and it could probably freeze up in the winter so it's a a novel idea to take a telescoping miniature video Pole and use and I could carry it in my pocket so I'd have my whole tent structure and pieces with me like I said earlier I'm a little bit weird when it comes to some of this stuff but great job guys this is really cool

It's a good idea.... but what do you do if you're setting up the tent in the rain?
