Love the hot takes! I disagree with every single point you made about single wall tents (I own both styles), but I fully appreciate and applaud your motivation to go and make these arguments! I do agree that folks are making too many gear review videos. Let’s see more hiking, more trail reviews and trail prep advice. Have a great day!

LOL! Thanks Ken, I knew hikers could agree to disagree on gear and still be friends! Though, at least 3 of those points are really facts, right? DCF costs way more (or has the cost come way down, I haven't looked in a couple of years), and a single wall tent can flap loudly in the wind where mesh, without a rainfly on will not. You can't see through a single wall - so moon/star gazing is out of the question. The rest of the info has really come from watching videos of other hikers running into issues. The condensation concern came straight from Dixie, Homemade Wanderlust. Video of the puddles in her Duplex and wet sleeping bag. Here in Arizona, it would never really be an issue. Anyway, thanks for the comment!

Thank you for making all the hike-along videos! These are so helpful when I'm trying to plan a trip. And they are so entertaining. It sucks that most of the hiking youtube stuff is all about gear. Who cares. I often carry 3 - 4 liters of water because the places I go have little water. Saving a few ounces just doesn't matter when I have 9-12 pounds of food & water. Lots of great points in this video.

Thanks for making a video you didn't want to make, Moon Juice! HA! Funny how the timing on videos in my feed works....just as I start thinking about my 2025 hike and what tent I should consider for the JMT. I used a single wall DCF (ZPacks Altaplex) on my PCT, CT, and TRT thru hikes and got so used to it that I just never thought about (or became numb to) the issues/points you brought up. But....I was gifted a BA Copper Spur UL 1 last year that I used on a two-night spontaneous trip and LOVED that MF'n thing for many of the reasons you mentioned. Well worth the negligible addition in weight and space. Thanks again. ~ Meat Grinder

You're completely right! Point number one is the only one that I have ever needed. I don't want to get wet. As a young man I always tried to camp with some super cheap Walmart tent. Always wondered why it was wet inside in the morning. I would go on rants about what's the point of the tent if it's wet inside of. It was always because they were single wall. Took me years to figure out

I totally agree with you on the footprint issue, mostly because it's rarely, if ever, addressed in reviews. And by footprint, I mean the total area required for a tent, including all the guylines. With a trekking pole tent, those things are going all over the place, and take up a huge amount of room beyond the "actual" fabric footprint. I do have both types of tents, and when I sit there trying to decide which to take for a trip, I usually end up with my 1P double wall tent. However, I LOVE my Dyneema tarp, and hope to get better at using that, including getting better at determining when conditions will be okay for it (for me). I've been out too many times (in the summer) and realized, you know what, I didn't really need a tent of any kind!

I have a double wall, copper spur, I had the tiger wall, but that was semi free standing and I switched up, getting frustrated with the need to stake even that. Why do I have and carry this, even on thru hikes like the JMT? I’m lazy when I get to camp. If I don’t have to stake it or mess with a fly I don’t. I also don’t use the fly ever unless there is weather. I can also squeeze into tiny spots. I know there is a weight penalty, but it’s only a bit over a pound when you consider the amount of stakes one needs for a single wall and I’ve adjusted other gear to compensate.

I've just bought the real best solution for almost all of your "reasons not to buy a DCF single wall tent" (except stargazing and cost maybe): Buy a Tarptent Rainbow Li like I did a few weeks ago, with a liner to clip in and to separate you from condensation, which btw usually runs down - if it occurs at all - without dripping onto your feet because of the steep construction of the head- and foot-end ... and so almost all those reasons you mentioned are solved by this tent-miracle ... Love my Tarptent Rainbow Li so far after testing it a couple of nights here in the middle of Germany 🥰! Have a merry christmas everybody 🎄!

It's pretty funny. If you watch those channels enough, you'll see why they don't make hiking videos; they don't get the views the gear reviews get. Some of them will even outright say they'd rather make hiking videos. But the gear reviews pay the bills. Everybody who camps needs a tent, but only the people hiking a specific trail are gonna watch our hiking videos. But I'm with you. I hate making gear videos. When I get something that works, I'm gonna use it until it breaks. And then I may just re-purchase the same thing. What I really want to know is how you recorded this video in two different locations wearing different clothes and somehow held a coherent conversation with yourself from one location to the next.

@iainmacadam2119 13 күн бұрын
Great points. Regarding why so many people don't share your "if it ain't broke don't fix it" mentality, in a word: insecurity. But to expand, social media has rewired us in ways that have turned our "keeping up with the Joneses" mentality into a half-conscious fixation. In a world where we're now so unavoidably aware of how many people will always be better painters than us, we seek comfort in at least buying the best brushes and making sure everyone knows about them. But also, I think a lot of it is that people are desperate to feel alive. I know that sounds strange in the context of why people are always looking for a better tent or something, but I think what drives a lot of people here, both to get outside and to obsess over gear, is that in our modern society of digital overload and excessive connection, getting outdoors becomes not just a nice break, but an existential refuge from a world that they realize is making them less human and less alive. And it's good that they're driven to do something about that feeling, but the circumstances make people very emotionally invested in "getting it right": They look at themselves on social media and at the office and sitting in front of Netflix and think "that's not me," and the version of themselves that spends time out in nature becomes the version they want to look at and say "THAT is me," and they want to make that version the best it can be. If you realize your life is making you feel less alive and you decide to do something about it, it's easy to feel like this pleasurable recreation activity has major stakes attached, and to get anxious over the details of how it's done. Sorry if this sounds too heavy and overdramatic, but they want to be the best at the thing that keeps their darkness away. A bit self-defeating, but I think it's a significant part of the psychology of why we're like this, and it's a reflection of how troubled we are as a society these days.

Another aspect is wind shade. All those dynema tents are see-through. I made it to camp, Guitar Lake, way earlier than the rest of my hiking group at 3pm and it was hot out. Setting up my tent allowed me to get in some vital shade. And yes I agree about the 2p option, perfect for spreading out my gear if I don't have a tent mate.

I feel like this too, I just feel safer with something that doesn't need as much space, can hold condensation away from me and is free standing or semi-free standing. I don't know what camp sites I might find, and here in Sweden condensation can be a real issue I want to avoid. Just got my very first 1p tent and I'm very happy with it, it took me months to find the thing *I* wanted and wanted to spend money on, and not what it seems like all the "professionals" use. I have been watching gear review videos, and that way figured out what I don't want! And in the end what I do value and want. I prefer watching hiking videos, especially longer videos or longer hikes. Syntax77 makes really nice videos, just not nearly often enough. And I enjoyed Homemade Wanderlust's thru-hiking videos from the PCT and CDT, the AT was too over crowded and in my opinion looks pretty boring. I have a few others I watch as well.

But everyone has their own subjective comfort level they aim for when it comes to backpacking. Part of the “hike your own hike” approach. There’s not really a right way or a wrong way, but some folks sure think there is only one way (their way) and if you’re not doing it their way, you’re doing it wrong. 😆

That seems impossible to sustain. That's why we see so many gear videos, or top 5 tricks to avoid this, top 3 places to go do that.

Other than that it's not necessary but to each their own.

I mean, hiking videos have the same problem as travel videos. People only look up videos specific to the region, then new videos tank if you vlog about a different region. The only people I've seen escape from gear videos are folks who make generalized cinematic videos that cannot be tied to a specific location. We have a lot of those channels in northern Europe. "Camping 21 days self-supported in Finnish wilderness ", "Visiting Khanty reindeer herders", "Hiking the length of Norway without crossing a single road" etc.

I've fully converted to single-wall tents now. I haven't found any downsides and don't see myself going back. I have a silnylon Tarptent Double Rainbow and it's the best tent I've ever used. I don't have any complaints with the inevitable condensation on certain nights. I've had worse condensation in double wall tents. The Double Rainbow might be worth a look if you ever do consider it. Small footprint for the interior size, uses an arch pole rather than trekking poles, vestibules on each side roll up fully for views on nice nights. Ticks a few of your boxes. Thanks for the vid :)

I agree with the condensation issue but I have never had to the level you describe. If I was younger and did not have to carry all of my dog’s gear and food I still be using my Tiger Wall. I paid a lot for my Duplex but to be honest for the amount of use it’s pretty cheap. I live on Northeast and whenever I tried to camp with my rain fly off my sleep system got wet from the air moisture. I think most people talk about gear because it sells and allows some to actually make a living hiking or talking about hiking and gear. I am pretty dialed in so I don’t really care. I am more into staying fit and on the trial. I will be driving out to Colorado the end of August to hike the CT with my hound mix Maggie. I can’t wait.

Good point. I just hate gear videos is all, they do way more gear videos than hiking videos. Of course, I’m subbed to all of them. I know people love gear talk… just ain’t for me.

@@MoonJuiceHikes I respect that. Gear videos saved my from wasting lots of money when I first got into backpacking by helping me make more informed gear decisions. With the knowledge and resources I have now, gear videos are pretty irrelevant to me. Still very grateful for them for educating me about the gear industry

It's not shade at all, he's stating he doesn't care for gear videos. He's entitled to his opinion and I 100% agree with him.

@@j.a.1785saying all of the hiking gurus then calling them out to say they make 15 gear videos to 1 hiking video can rub one the wrong way was all I was saying. And I never agreed or disagreed with him. I understand his perspective entirely

Yep! Me too. I train with a 40lb pack on basically every day during the week, so there's no need to worry about an extra lb or two on a longer hike. I'm ready. Jerry? I might have made it all sound a little less terrifying than it actually is...but in the end, I think he really is thanking me for it. ha ha!
