Nemo Tenshi Four-Season Tent Review
The Nemo Tenshi is a well build and a cleverly designed tent. The materials used are top notch and the craftsmanship is an A+. It inspires confidence for use as a shelter in an alpine setting. If inclement weather should set it my first concern would not be this tent as a suitable shelter. I am happy to add it to my gear and look forward to many years of faithful service.

Easton Rimrock Tent Review

Brooks Range Ultralight Quick Tent
Brooks Range calls it a Quick Tent, but without a floor, dedicated poles, zippers, and a mesh enclosure I find it hard to call this a tent. I prefer the term shelter. There is room to sit up inside and plenty of room for two people or one person and two packs and then you can still cook inside too.
Nemo Meta 2 Person
I embrace the idea of carrying gear that has multi-task capability. A jacket or vest is my sleep pillow, my Therm-a-rest is both dinner seat and then insulation layer while sleeping, and a small Zip-loc of paper towels is dish cleaner, toilet paper and emergency tinder. So when I found a tent that allowed me to use my trekking poles to pitch it, I had to give it a try.
