Tarptent Protrail Li first look 

Thanks for watching!

wow that is some good mileage! yeah these things aren't cheap

Awesome! I would agree on the sitting upright comment as well as the front entry can be a bit of a pain from time to time but overall given how light and efficient it is, those are minor problems. thanks for taking a look!

I just did a three day bikepacking trip all up above 5k in the low 40's and it did great. The one thing that can be an issue is having the ideal ground for staking

@@mcqsviews75 Great to hear! I'm going to see just how far I can push it and use it hiking some of the Colorado 14ers this winter. Rated for "3+" seasons. I guess we'll see just what that "+" means.

@@evansommer wow! Let me know... Sounds like an amazing trip I hope it works out for you. Are you going to use a ground tarp? I'm still not sure if I'm going to use one or not... Was thinking a piece of Tyvek.

@@mcqsviews75 My goal was just to rely on the durability of the Dyneema bottom so that I could avoid the extra hassle and weight (albeit small) of the ground tarp. We'll see how that goal holds up though...

Yes that is certainly something to consider. It can be a pain in Rocky spots.

You will not have any issue, I promise you that. The only time I tented on the AT somewhere I couldn't stake is because I chose to...which was twice, when I found a nice open rocky area and wanted to look at the stars :)

the weight i mention in the video isn't with the poles... that adds approximately 5 more oz. thanks for watching and good luck with whatever tent you get!

Wow! thank you...

So you could probably fashion a stick to work if you find the right height stick. The poles are different lengths so you couldn't use both in the front... Good idea but not possible on this tent.

Thanks for the sub!

Absolutely! the only reason I didn't go this route was because I will be using primarily for bikepacking

No, but I wish I was 😁

@@mcqsviews75 ha. I ran into someone in a pro trail and he looked very similar to your profile picture. Oh well! Happy hiking

I haven't yet used it in the rain so I can't say, but it is pretty low profile so I feel it will offer really good protection. Would say there will probably be more of an issue with condensation

@@mcqsviews75 I’ve read a couple of reviews and the issue of condensation does come up when you have to close it up due to weather in more humid climate like the southeast. Backpacking Light has a good review but they consider it a limited one due to not having tested it in high winds or snow. It wouldn’t be my first choice for very snowy conditions. I think it would do well in wind with the additional guy points in use. Thanks for the response.

I'm almost 6'3"and I fit in it well...I was pleasantly surprised.

@@mcqsviews75 thank you
