Review for
Marmot Starlight 1 Tent - 1 Person, 3 Season
I got it for my 12yr old granddaughter to use, she had a bad experience in a bivy last year and doesn't want to try one again.
We used it this weekend in Northern NH, weather was clear. She had the tent fly attached just in case she needed to close it, but left it open. It is a single wall tent so there was still some condensation on her sleeping bag, but no worse than her sisters bivy. it does have to be staked down, maybe the side stakes could be left , but front and rear are needed. It would be big enough for me to use, 5'7 175lb, but no more equipment than I could put in my bivy. The vestibule is only big enough for your shoes or small items. I am thinking of getting one for myself and my other granddaughter. It is a step up from a classic Kelty bivy, but people who think of this as a tent may be disappointed.

Trangia alcohol burner pot stand
Written on Jul 24, 2016
Review for
Clikstand S-2 Stainless
I find its easier to pack and lighter than the Trangia pot set I have. It fits into the pot with the burner and matches. I also have their windscreen, it also fits into my pot. The only thing we did was my wife sewed a heavy cloth bag to line the pot with so there would be no scratching and noise from the parts in the pot. I use the GSI Dualist pot set, I only use the pot, there may be room for one set of the cup/bowl, I didn't try that though as I don't need it. You would need a flat base to put under it for snow/ice conditions I suspect.
