Can you say anything about the tent previewed in the newsletter? Looks like a two pole design?

Just always excited to see what you have coming down the pipeline.

Thank you

It is a two pole ... It's biggish ... Currently unnamed ... . We've been testing various iterations for a several months . More an elk camp or good size winter tent than a summer back packing tent. I think weight was 8 ish lbs all in . Foot print is not super big . Does require fair amount of guy outs ( it's how it gets the space ) . Great for two or three and a big stove with lots of wood. Cot friendly .

I am also very interested in this one as "footprint" space is so hard to find for larger tipis in steep, bushy BC. I would love a solid, light base camp tent that would handle major snow loading, very severe winds and still have space for extended wilderness stays.

There are some fine tents available, I use a Hilleberg Saivo as my main tent as well as an original Integral Designs MKI-Lite for short stays in backpacking scenarios. However, I am now rather compromised with serious neuro-orthopaedic issues and much of my bush time will have to be by fixed wing aircraft or my Tacoma 4x4.

However, with any of these, weight is THE issue and packing one for any distance is no longer doable for we old geezers.

We cannot use rotary wing aircraft for hunting in BC, so, one does what one can with fixed wing or vehicles and enjoys just being out there.

With this, it seems, I could still pack in for short distances from remote roadheads and yet have a comfortable, longer term camp, I love the concept!

Trust SO to keep developing really neat gear, you folks impress me so much and I am a customer for life.
