The Two

The Two is awesome. Already had The One so I knew pretty much what I was getting. Just used it on quick 3 night trip. Temps at night in high 30’s. One night of rain. One night of decent winds. Didn’t budge or flap. Not a drop of condensation. Set up quick and easy. Very, very pleased.

Bought this because of the steep discount on sale. I used it in a state park over the weekend. Overall I’m impressed, plenty of room inside, easy to setup and take down as well. I had some condensation inside but that’s to be expected with a single wall shelter. The tent looks a lot larger than it actually is, the vestibules make it look bigger than it is, the actual foot print is not that big but there is plenty of space for two people inside. It rained on me this weekend and I had no problems with leaks or anything of that nature. I’m not sure if you could get two rectangle inflatable pads inside it but two mummy pads will work just fine. I highly suggest you get a footprint for this tent, the flooring is very very thin. I used a tyvek one that six moons designs sells, I think tyvek is better choice versus polycro in this circumstance to help the tent floor last longer. I’ve seen comments about missing clothesline in the tent, it’s in the stake bag that’s included you have to install it. I would also suggest adding some elastic cord to the wall tie outs it’s easier to attach to with the included line than the grosgrain loops they have on there. If you add colored ones ie red for head, black for feet it makes it easier to set up.

After spending a very long and very happy time with The One, experiencing rugged, cold, and wet adventures that were nonetheless breathtakingly beautiful, on the PCT, in Scotland, on Mallorca, and with the "little" gray one never letting me down, even freezing solid with 10 centimeters of ice on Fuller Ridge, I've finally decided to take advantage of its "big brother," to treat myself to a palace. A palace that offers the same qualities, with an even greater sense of space. I can hardly wait to finally experience it in the spring. Thank you, Gossamer.
