Wenzel Lone Tree Hiker Tent Specifications

Lightweight and compact, the Wenzel Lone Tree two-person tent is ideal for hikers and backpackers. The 30-square-foot Lone Tree is made of rugged, weather-repellent Weather Armor polyester, and provides a polyester full-coverage fly that completely envelops the tent to keep you dry in the worst weather conditions. The tent’s weatherproof bona fides also include a sonic-sealed, welded polyethylene floor and a UV-resistant coating for sunny days. On warm nights, campers can ditch the fly and take advantage of the all-mesh body to gaze at the stars or enjoy a cool breeze. And setup is a breeze thanks to the shock-corded fiberglass poles and grommet connections. p Other features include one D-style side-entry door; side windows for ventilation and comfort; two interior storage pockets; external guy points to keep the tent stable in storms and high winds; and a poly/oxford duffel bag. The tent measures 7 by 3.1 by 5 feet (W x H x D). pbSpecifications:/bulliBase: 7 by 5 feet liCenter height: 38 inches liArea: 30 square feet liCapacity: 2 people liDoor: D style liFrame: Fiberglass liFloor: Welded polyethylene /ulpstrongfont color=CC6600BIGAmazon.com Tent Guide/BIG/font/strongbrstrongfont color=CC6600Selecting a Tent/font/strongbr Fortunately, there are all kinds of tents for weekend car campers, Everest expeditions, and everything in-between. Here are a few things to keep in mind: pstrongfont color=CC6600Expect the Worst/font/strongbr In general, it’s wise to choose a tent that’s designed to withstand the worst possible conditions you think you’ll face. For instance, if you’re a summer car camper in a region where weather is predictable, an inexpensive family or all-purpose tent will likely do the trick–especially if a vehicle is nearby and you can make a mad dash for safety when bad weather swoops in. If you’re a backpacker, alpine climber, or bike explorer, or if you like to car camp in all seasons, you’ll want to buy something designed to handle more adversity. pstrongfont color=CC6600Three- and Four-Season Tents/font/strongbr For summer, early fall, and late spring outings, choose a three-season tent. At minimum, a quality three-season tent will have lightweight aluminum poles, a reinforced floor, durable stitching, and a quality rain fly. Some three-season tents offer more open-air netting and are specifically designed for summer backpacking or other activities. Many premium tents will also feature pre-sealed, taped seams and a silicone-impregnated rain fly for enhanced waterproofing. p For winter camping or alpine travel, go with a four-season model. Because they typically feature more durable fabric coatings, as well as more poles, four-season tents are designed to handle heavy snowfall and high winds without collapsing. Of course, four-season tents exact a weight penalty of about 10 to 20 percent in trade for their strength and durability. They also tend to be more expensive. pstrongfont color=CC6600Domes and Tunnels/font/strongbr Tents are broadly categorized into two types: freestanding, which can stand up on their own, and tents that must be staked down in order to stand upright. Freestanding tents often incorporate a dome-shaped design, and most four-season tents are constructed this way because a dome leaves no flat spots on the outer surface where snow can collect. Domes are also inherently stronger than any other design. Meanwhile, many three-season models employ a modified dome configuration called a tunnel. These are still freestanding, but they require fewer poles than a dome, use less fabric, and typically have a rectangular floor plan that offers less storage space than a dome configuration. Many one and two-person tents are not freestanding, but they make up for it by being lighter. Because they use fewer poles, they can also be quicker to set up than a dome. pstrongfont color=CC6600Size Matters/font/strongbr Ask yourself how many people you’d like to fit in your fabric hotel now and in the future. For soloists and minimalists, check out one-person tents. If you’re a mega-minimalist, or if you have your eye on doing some big wall climbs, a waterproof-breathable bivy sack is the ticket. Some bivy sacks feature poles and stake points to give you a little more breathing room. Also, if you don’t need bug protection and you want to save weight, check out open-air shelters. p Families who plan on car camping in good weather can choose from a wide range of jumbo-sized tents that will accommodate all your little ones with room to spare. A wide range of capacities is available for three- and four-season backpacking and expedition tents. Remember, though, the bigger the tent you buy, the heavier it will be, although it’s easy to break up the tent components among several people in your group. It’s also helpful to compare the volume and floor-space measurements of models you’re considering.p

Wenzel Lone Tree Hiker Tent CustomerReview

I just took this tent for its first run on a camping trip this weekend and I’m pleased to say that it fulfilled all my expectations. br /br /The tent and all the accessories fit nicely into the included carrying bag, I’m glad they didn’t try and stuff everything into a smaller bag that I’d never be able to fit it into again. It’s nice and compact, I bought this tent for motorcycle camping on a medium cruiser without big saddlebags or luggage and it’s perfect for this function.br /br /I hadn’t taken it out its package before I got to the camp site, so it was basically a trial by fire rushing to get it up at dusk. As expected, setup was very straightforward and it went up quickly. I had to pop the rainfly on in the middle of the night when it started raining, and that was a piece of cake as well. The construction was sound, the tent poles were fine, no issues there. The fabric and seams were very well put together and tight for a tent in this price category.br /br /It rained fairly heavily on the last morning, and I didn’t get any leakage, except a tiny bit around the door area when I had to open the window cover and when I had to step out of the tent a few times briefly. The rainfly doesn’t do much for covering the door area, as the door slopes outward towards the bottom, and it simply doesn’t cover it enough. A setup that would allow at least another 6-10 inches of cover would make this tent perfect. This is the only drawback of this tent, albeit a small one. The floor of the tent is tough and watertight, though not a bathtub style, it still comes up a couple inches or so when staked properly to protect from average runoff.br /br /As far as space is concerned, i know this is advertised as a 2 man tent, but this is stretching it in my opinion. This is a very comfortable 1 person tent, with room to sleep and put your pack and a few other things. I’m 6 foot, and a big guy and I had no issues with space.br /br /I had to pack this tent up in the rain, and it was a breeze to quickly roll up and stuff everything into the bag it came with.br /br /In summary, this is a great little tent for the money and should meet the needs of all but the most hardcore backpackers.
