@@michaelbitcanics8363 thank you!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Dan have fun out there!

Hey thanks! I had it so friends and family could track me. And I could use it to message back and forth if I didn’t have cell service.

Thanks for watching! If it’s not too windy this pitch works great. If it’s windy and rainy I’ll use a “storm mode” similar to the half pyramid but the head end will be the opening and be a bit lower. I don’t have a setup video for that one.

I love this setup when the weather is half decent for how much room there is.

Rattlesnakes are rare in the Smokies?

@@ColdbrewPatch very. I live in Knoxville. Much higher chance of seeing a copper head.

@@theoballer96 I’ll consider myself lucky then 👍🏻

Make sure the pole is set high enough and pull on the elastic line locs on all 4 corners so there’s enough tension.

8 liter. I use hyperlite’s side entry pod.

Hey! If I have the quilt up to my neck there is maybe 4-6 inches or so of extra length. It can go all the way over my head if my feet touch the end. I’m 5’ 11

What do you mean?

Yes but you would need to pack it in a bigger bag.

No reason this wouldn't work. Its only 2.9 ozs - no floor but its what I'm going with. I'm waiting for the same tarp now. Sea to Summit "Nano" Mosquito Pyramid Net Shelter

@@nedanother9382 would the sea to summit nano net be held up by the samepole that's holding up the tarp?

@@nedanother9382 So the situation is that these "pyramid" type bug nets have a tie out at the very top that will be blocked by your tarp. As I've experimented with this at home, There is no way to "tie" the pyramid bug net up to a tree or erect it with a pole as the shelter blocks the top tie out...and, the pole that is being used to hold the tarp up is - as you can see here in Patch's video, way towards the front of the tarp. But...the bug shelter tie out is pretty darn centered, thus creating the problem. Maybe you can post a video or write back if you find a way to rig this. I'd be very thankful, and good luck to you!

Thanks!

It’s not bad at all. Goes up pretty quick.

Thanks for watching! I’ve had it out a few times so far this spring and it’s been great. Stayed very comfortable down to 40°. Curious to see if I can take it into the 30’s.

@@ColdbrewPatch that's great. I actually just snagged the HMG 20° quilt last minute before a trip to Montana. I'm replacing my EE revelation 30°. The 7D they use is noticeably softer and more comfy than EE. The 1000FP seems great too.

@@joshb0508 I got the 20° also. Super warm and lofty. Have a good trip!

Thanks you too!

Thanks for watching!

How is that relevant to this video?

@@ColdbrewPatch Baha ... as if

@@micwell2247 not sure what you’re trying to say.

😂

Took a little while because it was the first time setting it up and the ground was frozen making it hard to put the stakes in the ground.

@@ColdbrewPatch thx for the quick answer!

@@TomatoKetchup1000 thanks for watching!

Lol the ground was frozen solid what are you gonna do 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lol...

Yes it is! Used it the most on the AT.

I enjoyed it! Wish it was less cloudy when I got to the top though.

Thank you!

How are you liking it? I’m thinking of doing the same thing. I feel like the zippers are a must.

Thanks!

I can but I’ll have to wait until the snow melts and the ground thaws. The height isn’t really adjustable.

I am not sure if I would have enough to talk about to make a whole video. All of my gear held up great with the exception of my sleeping pad.

You are able to bring the walls all the way to the ground if you adjust the length of the pole inside the tent. I haven’t used these on any trips yet so I can’t speak to how they perform in rain. I wold expect they will do very well though. I used a flat tarp on the AT last year and that always has some part exposed to the outside and still kept me dry. The inserts for these tents would be a good option for more weather protection, the bathtub floors go up fairly high and would shield any rain backsplash. The UltaMid 2 with the half insert is only a little over 2 pounds. Hope this helps.

The main advantage I see of pyramid tents over conventional trekking pole tents like duplex and unbound is the wind resistance, those tents on the video are more like a four season shelter.

Better have an insert for bugs on the AT!

Thank you!

@@ColdbrewPatch what poles do you use with the ultamid 4?

@@petercornetet8267 I used my Black Diamond alpine carbon cork poles and strapped them together with the pole straps that hyperlite sells.

Happy you enjoyed it, hope you can get back out there!

Thanks for watching! Congrats to you too! It was perfect weather.

I’m 5’ 11 and about 200 lbs for reference.

I'm 6'5 and 300 lbs and can get this setup pretty roomy - though theres always a balancing act between headroom and length the weather usually dictates what to go with

I swear these comments about how it's a copy are so friggen boring. every tent is a copy lol. the trekking pole designs are all a copy of Coleman that did it 50 years ago. shut up already.

@@Raevenswood - Durston is no copy. Durston advanced the technology significantly. There are many advances possible. Encourage advances, not copies.

​@@tomnoyb8301 🤣

@@tomnoyb8301 - I have one and it aint as good as the Duplex

Sounds great thanks!

I love the green

The whites are awesome!

Yes to guylines but the stakes are sold separately.

@@ColdbrewPatch thank you, just bought it 👍🏻

@@jaredwatsonphoto awesome enjoy!

Doesn’t really bother me, on my thru hike I just used a tarp.

Yeah I’m excited to try it out when the backpacking season gets here.

Zpacks has the 2 person tent with a zipper now available if you're ready to spend another $699.

Thank you!

This year was pretty dry too. Thanks for watching!
