Thread: Designing the best back country tent in the market - Need you help

Mostly been covered, but an old thread with some other good info/suggestions of what's already about: https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co....0/index2.html#

Had to hunt it down to find this link: https://youtube.com/shorts/gYidyeDq808?feature=share
Macpac Minaret doing the goods on Jumbo, Tararua's... whatever you come up with needs to withstand 8 hours of this shit. This thing is about 8yra old, and has been on many motorbike/cycle trips, tramping, hunting, and hasn't let me down yet (apart from a guy rope ripped out in that last storm)

+1 for pitching fly and inner at the same time (Macpac Minaret is 2-3 mins between unrolling and getting inside when in a hurry and on decent ground)

+1 for willing to carry a bit more with for bombproof (6'2" and hate wet top and tail from condensation)

+1 for a bit more space - comfy vestibule, and enough room to sit up. Usually solo or 2 ppl and a dog, and the Macpac Minaret is basically a 1.5 person with gear outside, or 1 + pack/rifle.

Super waterproof tub is key. Minaret PU Coated nylon has been great, but a few pin-prick holes starting to show.

+1 for good luck ticking all the boxes. Super keen to see where this goes!
