    3 x AAA batteries. So only another 74 grams to the non-lighted version of the same tent. These AAA batteries will last 1000's of hours apparently. So that is a lot of nights use. This roar over 4 nights I would not have used an hours worth.

    Tent
    Carbon poles
    Pegs
    1.6 kg

    And the ram on the roof of the tent glows in the dark which is cool but a little creepy the first time

    Correct, their business model is no middle man so order direct.
    No hassles with the international shipping bar the price and potential for customs to tax you

    Looks like a good piece of gear and 1.6kg is impressively light.

    Funny enough looking at the Kuiu tents their 4 season 'storm star' has the same pole layout/structure as my old Fairydown, just with the tent clipping up to it instead of being sleeved. And quite a bit lighter, improvements in modern materials I guess.

    I got the big angus fly creek 2 person.

    Its quite cuddly with 2 people and tapers so you cant top and tail. Other downside is there is fuck all gear storage and no led lightning hahahaha bloody good as a 1 man tho and think it was 1 1 - 1.1kg with xtra pegs and ground sheet chucked it on the gym scales. Only 3 season will test it in the snow shortly.

    Without being to homosexual that's actually the best way to sleep with 2 people, there are no knees or kicks to th me face and nuts and you actually have a more comfy sleep,

    I just prefer to carry my one man tent so illiminate the problem

    Dont waste your time chasing every last fps, it doesnt matter in the real world, it wont make a difference, all it will do is cause head aches and frustrations. And dont listen to silly old cunts
