Splurged on a quality backpacking tent for this summer. Wanted something freestanding and lightweight, so I went with the Big Agnes Copper Spur HV UL1. This cool awning feature means I can cook meals if it's raining outside. Pretty stoked to test it in the coastal redwoods next month.

I got the same tent, but the 2 person one. Love it. Super light weight.

Yeah - love Big Agnes! My kiddos have their bags. Haven't tried the adult ones but are considering getting bags for casual camping that are different than our hunting bags (Kifaru Slick Bags).

Sweet! Glad to hear you like it. I almost got a Nemo but they're so damn bright. I don't wanna advertise my big bright expensive tent for everyone to see. I've heard too many horror stories about theft

Long overdue to get a lightweight touring boot. Pretty excited to climb some hills with a real walk mode!

Is tent theft really a big issue? Like people stealing it while it's set up and you're out hiking or something? That's fucked!

Wow sick tent, awning will be clutch for cooking. Unless it's raining sideways haha

Just picked up a sleeping pad from Big Agnes, an Air Core Ultra, stoked to take it out this weekend. Also just put down a deposit on an A Basin pass for next year, so damn excited about it. Was kicking myself all year this year for missing the pass deadline.

Also intrigued by this. I have a Nemo and it never even crossed my mind. That awning feature looks clutch though, I sometimes end up carrying and extra UL tarp and some cord when I think it's gonna pour.

as dumb as Reddit can be sometimes, /r/ultralight is a pretty good sub for gear reviews. There’s a few threads where people leave their tents for the day and come back to find them missing. It seems like it’s usually only happened near trailheads or car campsites. But if I can choose between two equally good tents, I’ll pick the one that attracts less attention

Once you get away from trailheads and roads etc. everyone out there is only there to hike so even if you had the flashiest tent there is, you could be pretty confident about it staying safe. Depends really where you're planning to mainly hike.

I do find /r/ultralight good for some gear reviews just cause it is such a niche hobby. But as a whole, they do come off as quite elitist and overly proud of themselves.

Completely agree with both points. Hikers are one of the friendliest groups out there. Redditors on the other hand, are often full of themselves

Considering getting the Bikepack 2 person version of this with the smaller poles and more compact stuff sack for strapping to handlebars.
 
I wanted to get customs but I had to spend my extra money on new boots. Still super stoked and hope they get here in time to ride them on closing weekend

Slowly making my way over to RF glass. But my lens lineup is damn near perfect, so I'm super happy with everything I have.

Hell yeah dude! Reminds me

of when I bought this bad boy last spring and flew it in too aggressive of a headwind. Full throttle and it was still pushed back into a river never to be seen again. Rip.
