Really cool piece of gear - Marmot Tungsten UL Tent - 1 Person

After years of tarping, I saw one of these on the trail and decided to give it a go. Took it on an AT thru-hike and it didn't let me down at all. I broke down the constituent parts - poles, stakes, inner and outer - rather than use the supplied stuff sack, just so it fit better. Easy enough to set up, although you gotta be delicate with the poles as they could easily be damaged if you stood on them. I liked the inner pockets and the fly stakes out far enough to get your gear under cover too. I chose this specifically because you can sit up in it, which a lot of other UL tents don't allow. So it has a high, long, narrow footprint. If you get the wind wrong, once it's assembled, it's light and self-assembly strong enough to just pick it up and walk to a better spot. Waterproofing was good enough for the Smokies in November, no worries there. Dries out quickly too. Only thing I did do was buy the additional footprint for protection as the bathtub could get damaged on spiky or rough ground. Great purchase for the price.
