Tarptent vs North Face Talus 2 tent... opinions?
Posted: Sat Aug 29, 2020 12:53 pm
I've got 3 tents....a Rainbow Tarptent which is super light but not freestanding and a pain to anchor on hardground.It can also be sweaty inside and it's claustrophobic for anything but sleeping.Then I have the NF Talus 2 which is roomy and freestanding but heavier,bulkier-much of that due to the fly.Can you get a lighter fly for it?
Lastly I have a Eureka Zephyr solo which is tiny,heaviesh but freestanding.More for car camping.
Im trying to figure out if I should get rid of some of this stuff and which ones since i :sleep in the car when car camping;rarely backpack; mostly snowshoe in the Sierra.
I want to do a backpack after labor day and I don't know if I trust the tarptent in the Sierra with rain or surprise snow.
