Thread: Designing the best back country tent in the market - Need you help

looking at your sitting up picture I cant help but be reminded of the pup tents I grew up with....I bought one from farmers store in Taumarunui 35 years ago and it lasted a good 25 years of HARD usage.... if you added a 3rd pole you could double length of fly over the top and have a HUGE vestible area the same size as pup tent infront of door..or out back if that tickled your fancy for some reason.... you could go without pole if in bush and had something to tie off to.
when I added the small fly I have over top of pup tend I ended up with narrow vestible down each side ,enough to lay riles and boots in out of worst of weather.
heck if you use a really cheap double poled dome tent and add a fly over the top pegged out as far as you can stretch it you achieve same goals for a very small price. sometimes we overcomplicate things. the big rectangle flys set up out front and over top give shit loads of room to stand up and cook/store gear.... lots easier in bush obviously.
