I had a BA Copper Spur UL2 for about 5 years and it got a 3-4" tear in the mesh of one of the doors. Sent it back to BA to be repaired. They couldn't repair it, so they sent me back a brand new one! Big Agnes is amazing!

Using my Copper Spur in North Wales, it blew down in a storm and snapped a pole, replacement sections are not available at the moment in the UK, contacted Big Agnes and they sent me a pole section from Wisconson free of charge. Great company.

BA rocks and has great customer service. I have three of their tents in my gear stable: a Tiger Wall UL 2 for solo BPing, a Copper Sur 3 for when I’m out with the wife or just one of my teenage kids, and a Flying Diamond 8 for car camping with the entire family (6 of us). Love their sleep systems as well.

I LOVE my Copper Spur, I don’t have the mtn glow. No need. With the awning you can also unzip both zippers and just stuff the square back under the rain fly and over the mesh for easy open door access. I’ve had it rain once and used the awning as intended sitting in a backpack chair. Worked great. I had the tiger wall, but I live in the Sierra which is basically granite. I could not ONCE stake it out properly with the semi-free standing ends, so gave up and got the copper spur. I’ve used it backpacking and travel car camping and have slept in it at least 60 nights with -0- issues.

For extended use of these tents, it is advisable that you practice extra care with the zippers. They have a tendency to lose the ability to zip over time. The reason for this is that the zipper loosens itself and eventually doesn't apply enough pressure over time. I personally experienced this issue with the copper spur hv ul1, but experiences may vary.

I have a Copper Spur UL2 HV. Love the quality, headroom, and the weight. The only issues I have with it are that it's a trapezoid instead of a rectangle, and that the doors open at the head end instead of the foot. If the tent were a rectangle our rectangular sleeping pads would fit well with no binding. Having the door opening at the foot also makes swinging one's feet in and out of the tent far easier, though it does make zipping the doors harder. I also have an REI Half Dome which opens at the foot which is why I even have an opinion on the matter.

I have the Tiger Wall 2 and a Jack Rabbit3, I think that's what it's called. I purchased both tents on sale at REI. I paid 300.for my Tiger Wall and I use it solo. The Jack Rabbit is not the lightest tent but I split the weight with my daughter so it's fine. For me the Tiger Wall has made solo trips much more doable. I have a Granite Gear 38 L pack and a Western Mountaineering ultra 20 bag along with a bunch of other light gear. I am in my 60s so pack weight means alot. I am still doing the same or more mileage as I did 30 years ago because my pack is so much lighter. Someday I will pull the trigger on a Zpack big three. Take care. Nice channel and content, thanks. Update, pulled the trigger on a Zpacks Duplex and I love it. I took it on my hike of the Long Trail in Vermont and it’s a palace for my dog and I. Super easy to set up and the tent material is not super thin like your BA. Well worth the money.

I would still buy another BA tent! My 1st was about 5 years old when It ceased being waterproof. BA gave me my purchase price credit for the tent and I bought another at a great price. I bought the copper spur HVUL1 bike packing tent in May. After 6 total nights of use, in August I discovered about 40% of the seam tape was loosening on the fly and some on the tent. BA would repair it and include free shipping but warned me it could take a while due to staffing. Luckily, where I purchased it online worked with me and they got a replacement tent sent out once FedEx had scanned my defective tent. I have 3 BA tents & 1 BA s.bag. The HVUL1 is my favorite. Sure, it's small but it keeps my pack weight down. The vestibule is monstrous! The storage is great. With my 21.5 in sleeping pad I have enough room on either side to set up my bag and other stuff in the tent. The vent up top was a key selling point for me. The zippers are quite good with a tiny bit of care taken.

Some tent things are gimmicky. Thought the fly turning into an awning was too until getting my 3-door Salt Creek 3. OMFG it is awesome. Smart sunshade while allowing for airflow. But the third door is genius. Been in this industry for years and that third door is missed on my lighter tents including other Big Agnes Tiger Walk bikepacking tent. Thanks for your user insights once again

The BA Tiger Wall UL2 is the first tent I have ever owned, used it on two weekend trips now and I really like it. Very easy to set up for a newbie like me. Also plenty of space for me and all my gear, when using an extra wide sleeping pad. Wouldn’t share it with another person though, in that case I would go for the UL3 version. Only downside for me is the non adjustable guylines on the tent. Makes it harder to pitch for a beginner like me. Also after rain, when the nylon has started to sag a bit, I needed to redo all the stakes of the rainfly to tighten the pitch. Would’ve been a lot easier if the guylines were adjustable instead of precut.

I got the Scout 2 Carbon. I fabbed the rear pole, made a footprint, ditched the stakes (which are worthless in the Sierra) and replaced them with pads (circles of tarp material), and use BOTH of my poles to prop up the front so I don't have to dodge to get out, and added a second front guy for the same reason. All in all, with a bag to hold it all, 22 oz. I do not actually use a tent unless it is raining, so light is right.

So luxuriously and where we’re at in our lives now, it is SO worth the extra weight and size! We love the CopperSpur3 now and I would say it’s now my favorite tent of all time

BA is a solid brand that makes great freestanding tents for experienced users. I only say that because you have to realize they are using light materials that require more care/caution than your typical newb is prepared to deal with. Inevitably (probably sooner than later) they will tear or break the tent and then blame the tent for their mistakes or carelessness. They aren't the end all be all, but you'd be hard pressed not to find a good tent for most people in their lineup.

I have 2 BA tents. The Copper Spur hv2 Expedition and the Copper Spur Bikepack. Both have been amazing tents. The expedition can really take the punishment doled out by the high winds and storms at elevation. I know it's corny what they say about it being the last tent standing but I experienced just that. Went camping with a buddy when a ferocious storm hit and his tent was trashed, literally, he threw it away. The Expedition shunned the winds like nobody's business. The bikepack, although I've only had it out on a couple of occasions, seems to be of the same great quality. Both have been exposed to some heavy weather and neither has leaked a drop. My only criticism of the Expedition is how red it is inside during daylight hours. It's RED! It messes with my brain the redness. I know, what did I expect from a solid red tent right. Thank goodness I don't spend much time in it during the day. When I have the need for a new tent, BA will be my first stop, just not a solid red one. 😆

My lightest tent tent is a BA Scout UL2 and it's *fine*.

However the lightness and compactness and ease definitely make it a worthwhile piece of kit. It's fine.

Big agnes tents are pretty nice! I own the big agnes copper spur hv ul 1 tent in olive green (2019 version). Awesome little tent!! Lightweight, super fast pitch, extremely moisture resistant, spacious for a one man! Subdued color was a plus for me for stealth camping. Did have an weird stitching section near door zipper but it has never been a real issue other than cosmetic. I bought it new on amazon too so i can't rule out factory second completely..? Buckles on these ultralight tents can seem a little small and fragile but i haven't had one break or fail yet. Would totally recommend this tent. However they recently updated it in 2020 and it comes double doors with awning. Not a fan of the awning feature and not big on the color differences from the 2019 version. But im sure it performs just as good. I guess im just a "if it ain't broke don't fix it kinda guy" Lol wish they still made the old version because now i kinda want the 2 man version. Maybe one will pop up forsale who knows? The only other tents i have my eye on lately is the Nemo dragonfly bike packing version. I also like Tarp tents double rainbow Li (dyneema version).Good stuff always dan!! Love that new camera! Its like voodoo magic or something lol. Stay safe! Hike on!

Sir that tent that you used in this video is not a tent its a cocoon. It is so sheer! Mind blown!

Thanks Dan. Can you show how you would set up those pitch innertent first tents in rain without the inner getting wet in a separate video? For that singelwall, wet clothes and shoes, and wet backback, no thanks😅.

I bought the new big agnss tiger wall ul2 bike pack, the pole cracked after the first multiday hike and then on the next one the zip flap tore. I've found it really fragile but it is super light and really spacious.

In the world of camping gear, I know a lot can change in a couple years. I'm looking for a lightweight backpacking tent that can sleep 3 with 25" sleeping pads. It is really hard to find anything unless I go up to a 4-person tent. I'm looking at the Copper Spur for that reason and saw this video. I have been enjoying your content and would appreciate your insight. Do you know of any 3-person backpacking tents that are at least 75" wide or what 4-person tent would you suggest?

The Tiger Wall Platinum also does not have vents in the fly - another difference. (It’s what kept me from getting the platinum version of the Copper Spur). I personally did not like the Tiger Wall because the foot end is so shallow with only a ridge pole there. My footbox would actually push the mesh against the fly and get wet from condensation.

Thanks for reminding me to remind my dad to make a warranty claim on his BA tent. BTW the Duplex is lighter, and I believe more durable. It also has vestibules. Neat camera, I'd looked at their Go series for a minute. Definitely making some cool stuff.

I think you’re looking at the BA scout platinum… The tent in the video is the BA Scout carbon. It’s 16 ounces :-)

So...looking to buy 2 tents in the near future, and pretty sure I'll stick with BA. Will by a standard Tiger Wall 3-person for camping with my partner; the decision now is for myself. Trying to go UL... there's the Scout Carbon...and now the Tiger Wall 2 Carbon. The Tiger Wall is 7 oz heavier and $200 or 300 more expensive, but just a better, more comfortable tent (and fewer stakes). Any thoughts or comparative experiences, anyone?

Are you on the beaten path? You are in my back yard! We were supposed to go last year but switched trails. Sounds like it’s going to be closed to the full hike for awhile due to flooding and washed out bridges.

Love my copper spur. First year with it but it’s going great so far! I have the 3 which I use as a 2, haven’t had the chance to try 3 in there but it’d be tight for sure. The storage is great though
