AWESOME TENT!!!!!!
OR TWO...

I must say, this is the coolest little tent around. I do alot of solo hikes and mountaineering projects in the summer and spring so this tent is aweome. It weighs about a Kg but I ended up paying 230$ Canadian for it (from MEC) but worth every penny. Had this in P*ss-pouring rain and I've had it in little snow conditions. Works great, but size is always a factor. I'm 6'1" and I just fit perfectly (my heels and head are both within 1/2 an inch of the ends of the tent. As well I can't sit up in it).

Well, in the name of Lightweight hiking/treking/Backpacking/mountaineering or whatever you may do, the size cut-downs will cut down in the weight you're humping over them mountains.

Now, a problem I thought when I first got this tent was where my pack will go (I own an Arc'Teryx Bora 95 tall, a big pack) but lucky it manages to fit under the Vestibule, with some room for my boots. Idealy, you probably don't want your pack leaning against the Vestibule roof (the fly) because the condensation will get your pack wet, but my Bora 95 can handle anything, so its not a worry for me, but if you have a crapy pack, make sure its small or bring a trap for it.

But overall, this tent is one of the best I've ever used. Down side, is if i go out in the mountains with a friend who doesn't have a tent....I have to rent one in this situation. MSR is a great brand, lucky for me and other Canadians, is that @ MEC you can rent Pretty much anything they sell there so its a great way to try out tents and other gear there.

I've used this version before and its awesome..I own the internationale version (multi-fuel) and its ever better...nothing like brewing coffee this guy fueled by a desiel/gas mix....i love the smell of napalm in the morning...no matter where you are or what you have in its bottle, you can for sure spark this guy up with no problems...

I've had one of these things for about 4 years now....just awesome...i've used a wide sellection of compassed from silva and sunnto because those are the brands mainly used in NATO armies ......

i managed to get mine in Mils (one revolution is 6400 mils instead of 360 degrees) and mine also has degrees on it as a secondary on the dial.....

very awesome though.....get little peice of gear i never leave without......

just got edition 7!!!!!!!!it is the bible for all climbers
