Looks awesome! Wish it was a bit lighter

[@AdventureBuilt]

Completely agree. Not sure why it is so heavy.

[@Sergiop4x]

I like the way you presented this tent... But when its comes down to the price, weight, crappy mattress, and size. It's a tough swallow.... I went with the Fsr aspen lite. 100lbs, pop out wedge (i can stand up 😎), comfortable inflatable mattress, i paid 2k "on sale" The downsides... Cant mount anything too heavy top nor the sides since its a "canvas" top.

[@AdventureBuilt]

There definitely are some drawbacks to the tent and the FSR sounds like a great option. If the Benehike was $1500 it would be a no brainer.

Question…why not just put the rear seats down and sleep inside the vehicle? I have a 4 runner with a mattress in the back and sleep great inside.

[@AdventureBuilt]

That is absolutely a great option. Unfortunately for me I carry so much gear that would have no place to go except outside in the ground. I’m hoping to get a Pacific Adventure Works sleeping platform to be able to store gear below and sleep on top.

Nice review. Love the jacket - what is it?

[@AdventureBuilt]

Thank you so much. The jacket is from Outdoor Research and I can’t find it on their website. It’s down on the inside and a heavy duty canvas type outer. It is incredibly warm. Just found one at REI website. Outdoor Research Del Campo Down Parka on sale for $224.

How long did the shipping on that take?

[@AdventureBuilt]

It took about 3 weeks. I live in rural northwest Montana and everything takes forever.

170lbs, small, lets lot of light in, one person.. and $2600, oof. These tents are getting pricy!

[@Popcornbeetle]

Agree brand is lame and I personally wouldn’t put that on my rig. Similar elements to the 4x4Colorado.

[@user-tj3yi9zj4m]

very low profile

[@AdventureBuilt]

Absolutely. The look of the tent is what really made me keep coming back to it.
