Hi gang,
So over the last couple of years I have been trying as many different shelter options as possible in an attempt to find that one perfect shelter for me. I've tried hammocks, mids, freestanding tents and tarps and bivvies of all types and sizes. My conclusion is probably the same as everyone elses, there is no perfect shelter for every circumstance. So I need several . I love my TT Double Rainbow and that is my go to for taking one of my kids with me or when I'm willing to pack a bit heavier. For solo trips when I'm going as light as possible, I currently use an old faithful TT Contrail but I think it's time to cut some wait back from that one. My favourite UL solo shelter so far has been my SMD Gatewood cape and Serenity bugnet, serious sellers regret on that one.
So thats the kind of shelter I'm looking for again, single trekking pole, side entry and as light as possible, so I'm thinking DCF, although this would be my first foray into DCF. So far I have found my options to be:
TT Aeon Li
Zpacks plexamid
Zpacks hexamid with doors + bugnet
SMD deschutes zero-g + bugnet
Are there any other options in this style? Ultimately aiming for the 500g-600g range. Also if you have a second hand one of these that you're willing to part with, let me know!
Thanks!
