Something I have noticed everyone ignore, with trekking pole tents, you have to tear it down everyday. If I’m camping somewhere and not moving but I use my trekking poles everyday, I leave my tent just flopping around in possibly all kinds of conditions.

@baze3SC 2 месяца назад

Trekking pole tents are rudimentary bivouacs for people who carry their stuff and frequently change their sleeping location. In the grand scheme of things it's a very niche use case. If you're camping at one place pick a more spacious, double-walled tent.

@olivierdumais6463 Год назад

one thing that wasn't directly adressed is that if you primarily camp somewhere where you're often forced to pitch on a wooden tent platform, such as in the whites in New Hampshire, a trekking pole tent is super annoying. There's definitely ways to make it work but it I usually get at least a little bit pissed off and it's never exactly how I like it pitched...

@Wyatt.the.martian Год назад

Agreed! Most places around me have wooden tent pads (required use), often without the eyelets around the outside. So, a trekking pole tent is really not possible for local backpacking here.

Also if you are canot camping, or car camping, and want to use your pole for day hikes around. Freestanding tents are more versatile while trekking poles tents are very efficient and niche for certain backpacking.

@DrunkDrynasty Месяц назад

Or you’re setting up your tent on granite. Which sometimes is the only flat surface. I dunno, I don’t use trekking poles (I’m actually here because I want to try them w/ a trekking pole tent. I’ve been using a 1 person BA Copper Spur tent which is light enough for me at 2.5 lbs with stakes.

@SummitSeeker546 Год назад

Tents are very personal and choice depends heavily on the terrain in which you camp. I’ve been flip flopping between my ZPacks Plex Solo and my Marmot Tungsten UL 1P. We primarily backpack in the mountains and deserts out West. We love remote camping by lakes and streams with incredible views. The Plex Solo wins on being the lightest tent weighing in at just under 1lb. But, I hate the tent due to condensation issues, waking up to a wet quilt, and the fact you need to keep the vestibule door open. I hate wet sleeping conditions! Love the Marmot because it’s more spacious in the interior but has a small footprint which allows me to fit into the smallest of flat spaces, doesn’t wet out, has an air vent, is fully free standing, and is warmer cause I can keep vestibule doors closed. I will choose the Marmot for most of my trips cause it’s a better all around tent. IMO!

Durston X-Mid2 FTW. Never going back to free standing

@ScreaminJoeBlade Год назад

I have a MSR Hubba NX I bought for a steal (to only discover that it was recalled for bad seals years ago - it works fine now i resealed it..) and I love it for the few trips i make out a year... but I am looking at a Durston Mid-2 for next season - for more space inside and also inside my pack - but will likely bring the hubba on trips where I intend to basecamp. I definitely do love the ability to shift the Hubba around easily - but it does need to be staked - Mine flew off like a box kite the second time I set it up.

I would say that while the Durston is a good tent, Gossamer Gear makes a great, lightweight trekking pole tent with The Two or The One and is just as good and aboout the same price. When I was recently tent shopping I always kept coming back to The Two. Only weighs a pound and a half, about $300, same as the Durston Xmid 2 person, and unlike the Durston IT HAS POCKETS so it's not completely minimalist. Recently took it to Jay Cooke near Duluth, MN for the weekend and it was great. Only real complaint was the condensation, but I was camped pretty close to the cliff top over the river and it was about a 25° change between night and day, so that's mostly on me. Using the extra guy lines helped a lot.

@NikhilShahi Год назад

Agree with trekking pole tents being easy to set up. I used to be in the camp of only freestanding tents as I felt setting up trekking pole tents is hard - and you need stakes with them always. But given that I always stake my freestanding tents anyway (so that they don't go flying off in the air in strong winds when I am hiking), I realized that staking (for my use case) is required for both. I bought the Durston X-Mid 2P Solid early this year and have not looked back. Super easy to set up, needs just 4 stakes (6 if you want to stake the vestibules), and now I can set it up within 2 to 3 minutes. It is super spacious and very stormworthy. I backpacked and camped extensively in Yosemite, the Sierra, Havasupai, Zion, Escalante, Great Basin this Summer, and only used this tent. I encountered 30 mph winds in Zion backcountry (West Rim Trail) and Yosemite (Clouds Rest and near Yosemite Point) - but this tent did not flinch. Once I set it up properly (with proper tension), it was sturdy and never made me feel it would collapse. Awesome product. BTW, one clarification - you made it sound like only freestanding tents are double-walled. Lots of trekking pole tents are also double-walled. I have the regular X-Mid which is double-walled (the pro is the single walled one).

If you have a multi-night stay with day excursions from your “base camp,” then a trekking pole tent either robs you of your poles or you’re taking down and setting your tent each day.

@3rdGUMObro Год назад

I get the weight savings but the convenience of a free standing tent is well worth it. We often set up camp and drop our gear inside the tent, then go exploring with just essentials in a daypack. The guy with the trekking pole tent doesn't have a "tent" to leave his stuff in. I love the gear loft/pockets and the head room.

Absolutely love my Durston X-Mid 2 tent. I use it solo motorcycle camping with the lightweight Durston poles. It packs small and I like the look and color. I'll bring my trekking poles instead if I plan to hike when I get to camp. That does mean the tent has to collapse, but so easy to pull the poles out and place then back in. This is a double wall tent, which you did not mention, so no real condensation issues and it is warmer. Great room inside and the nice large vestibules each side. The X-Mid holds up to strong winds and rain better than anything I've had before.

Lots of double wall trekking pole tents. Dan just did not mention them (even the Durston has double-walled trekking pole tents with the same design).

@bumblebeehikes Год назад

With a double wall tent you still have to deal with condensation, have to dry it, and have to pack a wet tent at times. In a hard rain you still get splash back from the condensation through the mesh inner wall. I'm sorry but everyone needs to stop thinking that double wall tents are immune to condensation and that they don't or won't have to deal with it.

@PippetWhippet Год назад

@@bumblebeehikes Are they doing single walled tents that have a mesh ring to let the condensation out these days? I suspect the reputation comes from my day where the single wall was stitched directly to the bathtub and any condensation ran down the inside and pooled on your floor while the double wall, the condensation ran down and dripped onto the grass outside. Of course you still had a little bit of water to dry off, but it was millilitres compared to decilitres and not on your stuff, the only thing you had to dry was the sheet.

@bumblebeehikes Год назад

@ABitWhippet I do know that the Durston X-Mid Pro and the Zpacks tents have mesh separating the bathtub floor from the outer wall. So, any condensation that runs off isn't supposed to go into the bathtub floor.

The last point in the cons category for a freestanding tent is not accurate at all! Indeed, look at Zpacks, HMG or TarpTents top DCF trekking pole tents and the price points compared to the top freestanding options in the same or similar category (i.e. Big Agnes and Nemo).

@gavanmitchell9095 Год назад

I have a Tarptent Stratospire Li which I absolutely love. Trekking pole tent that weighs under 900g (30oz for you guys in the US). But I did actually just buy a Mont Moondance 1 FN, for a number of reasons. Most from the US probably haven't had much experience with Mont being an Aussie company, but it's a freestanding 1.5 ish person tent. It's marketed as having an extra 25% space than a traditional 1p tent. The FN version (Full Nylon) is a 3-4 season tent, so I have extra warmth as an option. But the thing I feel missed in this review is regarding camping platforms. We have a lot more of those popping up at hike-in camps here in Australia, and while it's not impossible to setup a trekking pole tent on a platform, it's a lot more difficult and fiddly to get the pitch right. It was the main reason I wanted to grab a freestanding tent as an option.

Another CON for a trekking pole tent is if you happen to break a pole you could be screwed. It happened to me on the PCT and ended up bailing after a few days of Jerry-rigging and hoping that we didn't have any weather. I still love my Durston X-mid Pro but it can be an issue. the Z-flick poles might be worth the 3oz weight just for the security.

I love everything about trekking pole tents, except the ability to move it around after setting up before committing to a precise location. I always use trekking poles anyway. However, on my first TP tent outing, I was disappointed when I could NOT use my poles after setting up the tent to claim a space! Staking can be dicey in rocky areas, too. Sadly, very light freestanding tents are really expensive.

I've got and used both - choice varies depending on trip length, terrain and expected weather. Just recently though I've been using just a tarp coupled with either a fly net (Aussie summer) or a bivy bag (winter/snow) (maybe throw in a ground sheet in case of soggy ground). I'm finding it gives more space, more flexibility, more coverage, just as good weather protection if you set it up right, and better ventilation (important in our summers) for little to no weight penalty.

There's another con to trekking pole (read: single-wall) tents: Camping in hot/humid environments. Whether it's a midwestern summer or on a beach, not being able to allow that hot, humid air to escape is the worst sleep you will ever have. In those environments, you will want to use a double-walled tent, take the rain fly off, and rig a tarp overhead.

@NotYou9311 Год назад

Simplicity, lack of weight, speed of setup, cost, etc.,etc.,etc....all reasons I moved to tarps several years ago. I always use the same pitch (the Holden tent or half-pyramid)...which is very stable and goes up in about 2 minutes. Usually takes a lot more time to actually choose the site for the shelter than putting up the shelter. The only "downside", is no floor. I couldn't care less, though, as I got over the bug-willies a long time ago. Besides, no worries about holing the expensive floor on your expensive tent. If my groundsheet gets torn up (in practice this has never happened)...replacing it is easy and cheap. Condensation is NOT much of a problem, either, because the shelter has no floor. That is, the floor is unattached to the walls...so any condensation simply runs down to the edges, then drips onto the GROUND...rather than onto the built-in floor. So, actually, no floor is an advantage. To each his/her own...but, at this point, I can't imagine going back to actual tents. Not at all.

@farawayskies 6 месяцев назад

Looking for a double wall tent because I been relying on a single wall tent for the last couple years and absolutely hate how much condensation can build up in a single wall tent.

@chrisdunegan5114 Год назад

I've got lots of experience with both free standing and treking pole tents. This is only my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. I don't like hiking with trekking poles, I feel like they just get in my way. I understand they're great for some people, but they're not my thing. That said, my Six Moons Design Lunar Solo tent has the option of a collapsible carbon fiber pole to use in place of a trekking pole. It has worked perfectly for me, and it's lighter than any treking pole. Long story short, a trekking pole tent is lighter. A freestanding tent is easier, faster, and more flexible. The choice is yours. edit: I love you, Dan, but that Bryce tent is terrible. Yeah, its inexpensive, but mine failed on me the first night I used it. Two of the corner clips, at the pole ends/stake points, failed. And it is a total pain to get in/out of with the door on the end. A far better free standing option IMO, albeit a bit more expensive, is the Marmot Tungsten UL. For treking pole tents, the Durston is a very good tent. But for interior space/cost/simplicity I like the Six Moons Lunar Solo. I've used both and I'll pack the Lunar Solo first if weight is my primary concern. If I can afford the extra pound I'll pack the Marmot Tungsten. Again, just my 0.02$ Hike on.

I bought a Lanshan 1 trekking pole tent three years ago. I probably should have stuck with it longer, but it wasn’t for me. It was difficult to set up, and less versatile in terms of location (very hard to make one work on a platform, for example). I’m much more comfortable setting up and sleeping in my Big Agnes Flycreek UL 2. The added weight is not significant (in my opinion) and well worth it. With the way gear constantly improves, maybe I’ll try another trekking pole tent someday.

Some comments that are likely not worth anything: I use a Six Moons Designs Gatewood Cape and net tent. It’s a Trekking pole tent. Because I have the cape and net tent, it qualifies as a double wall tent as I understand it. I like that. The thing I haven’t figured out… Since the Gatewood cape is my rain gear, how do I set up a tent in the rain? Do I throw down the net tent getting it wet, then cover it with my cape, or do I throw down the cape, get it set up, and then add the net tent… Getting ME wet? So far I haven’t had a problem. But I assume that day will come…

Love my Bryce 1P… but have always been interested in other options

Literally having this debate now. Currently I have a light weight 3p tent BUT I’d like to have something for myself. I’m considering going even lighter with the Stone Glacier SkyAir

So we might have slightly different definitions of what cheaper tents cost. Also it would be helpful if you flashed up in words the name of each tent with a price. I understand you might want us to follow a link, but …

How well do these work for custom static length trekking poles? My poles only have one length and are not adjustable. Would that make them a nogo for TP tents?

Free standing tents have saved my butt on the kayak. There has been a couple nights on rocky beaches with no way to stake anything out.

My only real problem with TP tents is that if you are camping in one place for a few days hiking then you lose the use of the TP while the tent is pitched. I guess in theory you could take them out and just leave the staked tent in a loose bundle but I'd be wary of doing that!

Another option is a tarp and trekking poles. Tarps can be set up in many different configurations, including several that are completely enclosed, including a ground sheet. Or you can use a poncho as a ground sheet. If you know you are going to be in the woods, the tarp can be setup with string attached to the trees - you don't even need trekking poles!

What about if you fall over and break your trekking pole, then what do you hood your tent up. I broke two poles in two hikes.

I miss my old Kelly windfoil hoop tent. It was kinda heavy at 5 lbs but big enough for my wife and I and our mutt.

@greasemonkey4god Год назад

I’ve got a tipi style trekking pole tent. It’s a 4p so larger. Still weighs less than 2lbs because it’s also floorless. I would say that it takes practice to set up!! Unlike a freestanding tent which are all about the same.

Great video Dan! Due to budget issues im using the River-Country Trekking Pole Tent 2.0 and its been holding up. Id love to try some of those higher end tents one day!
