For this trip I used the Trekker 1.0. It's a one person single Trekking pole tent. Inside you see my pad and my quilt and my pillow slept in. It is fine last night. It is a single wall tent, but weather was perfect Didn. have too much issues with any condensation or anything like that. I'm six two and had plenty of room in there. I have the Trekker 2.2, which is a two person tent, but it has no vestibule, so I wanted to get this tent because it does have a vest be, and I can store my gear up here. The weather was nice last night, so I didn't have to worry about it. Let's take a look a little closer in here. So your single checking pole is here and it holds up the roof. You have zip doors there. I probably had a little more roof. I could have scooted up to go to the very top of the tent on that side, but I didn't feel like I was cramped at all. There is one little pocket down here. For storing your gear, and there is a little ring right up there to hang a lantern or a flashlight or whatever if you wanna do that. I am in the tent. The tent is has plenty of room for me. I'm about six foot two using a extra wide, extra long quilt. I'm a 72 inch by, I believe it's a 20 inch pad in here. It's there's my pad. So plenty of room in here for me to sleep comfortably. Last night you have venting on the sides of the tent, so it felt pretty adequate in here, but also stayed pretty warm. There is my kind of vestibule area. I'd only staked out one portion of it, but overall, I think it slept pretty well. You do have a central pole right here that holds up the whole structure, so it's right in the middle of the door, but I don't know what any other way they could have designed that. Plenty of adequate ventilation right there. Let's take a look at that. Again, the guidelines on the back allow you to open the vent here at the top, and you have venting here that you can adjust, unzip, et cetera. give yourself more ventilation overall. That's a pretty nice tent for the money, and I give it a, I give it a thumbs up. And if you like this content, give me a thumbs up so that I know you approve. Leave your comments and questions below. I'll see you on the trail. Bye.
