Tarptent Aeon Li - A "Non" Review 

Thanks for sharing, I have the same tent which I love. Give a try at putting your trekking pole in the same angle as your door zipper, it will clear your door step and still being almost as strong as upright.

A really great non review, this was very helpful (and entertaining). I enjoy your genuine, relaxed presentation style. Thank you!

Haha, literally just got this tent. Watched the “how to” video and got a perfect pitch first try. Hilarious that outdoor gear lab would post that. Looking forward to taking it out on the Rockwall trail in a couple weeks.

Nice showcase. Thank you for sharing and you have a wonderful week.

Brilliant, amd now I really know how to pack it up! Your video is better than any other. Cheers - Nigel, Scotland. BTW slept in mine a few nights ago, by Loch Ness, and no condensation at all. Oustandingly designed tent. Keep up the great videos!

I've just bought a Tarptent Notch Li (waiting for it to arrive), but as I live in the English Lake District condensation is always a problem, & I wanted a tent with an inner. There are very few dyneema tents with this feature. It's a 2 pole tent but I have bought a separate tent pole from them as well, as I usually use only 1 trekking pole. Like you I'm getting on a bit & reducing weight means I can still keep backpacking. It's good to hear your positive comments on Tarptent's customer service.

Thanks for the video! Especially, your Foothills trail videos. A couple of questions for this video in regards to packing a tent: -Are you a stuffer or a folder/roller, when it comes to packing a tent in its stuff sack? -Do you have to be folder because of the struts?

So Duplex or Aron Li if you were hiking the PCT? I’m typically more of a hammock guy but the tent makes more sense esp. for the desert section. 6’2” and also appreciate weight savings. Seems like it comes down to which I prefer more - bit more room vs saving some ounces. Thanks in advance

Stuart, thanks for the video, liked it! Did I miss the video on your Rocky Mountains hike, or was this the quiet hike? Thanks

Thanks for the video. You mentioned the zpack duplex tent. I'm looking to purchase my first tent for camping in the pnw and am thinking about both of these options. 1 person, but like the idea of having my pack inside with me to avoid mosquitoes while futzing with my stuff and to have option for almost the same weight to take another person. Taking the 2nd trekking pole that holds your camera issue out of the equation, what are your thoughts? really appreciate it. thanks!

Nice non-review Stuart. Question...how does it sound? I haven't seen personally any tents/backpacks/tarps made with dyneema, so I'm curious with the tent body so close to your face while sleeping, is loud when the wind blows? Can't wait to see you Live Your Dash in it! - Davey.

Great "Non Review" do you not use a ground tarp with it ? That looks like a good tent I think I would have dumped the money on it if I didn't just buy another Nemo. Not sure how often you run into it, but just like outdoorgearlab this past October I had two different backpackers ask me if I could help them set up their tents that they never set up.

What’s the name of the gadget you have on your trekking pole to mount your camera and phone? I’ve used a Gorilla pod and a Stick Pic, but I’d rather have something handy like you have that is more secure than the Stick Pic

Hi what is your tripod on the trekking pole

Thanks Stuart wow that’s an expensive tent 🏕
