Blacktail 2 - Vetiver

Took this on a three-day trip and it carried lighter than my old tent, which my shoulders appreciated by day two. The poles clip in fast even in wind, and I stayed dry through a solid night of rain.

The pole clips snapped into place on the very first try, even in gusty wind at dusk, and the vestibule gave me just enough room to cook without kicking dirt inside. Setup took under ten minutes solo, which is exactly what I wanted for quick overnights.

Four trips in and the weight hasn’t bothered me once on the trail, yet it held up fine through a windy night at a crowded campground. The setup is quick enough that I’m not dreading it after a long hike, and the vestibule’s got just enough room for my pack and boots.
