Guardian - A 13,617 foot peak in the San Juan Range of mountains in Southwest Colorado.
The Guardian 2.0 2p XL is an ultralight two person trekking pole tent that is lightweight enough for solo trips, but big enough to sleep two people over 6' tall. It's bigger and slightly heavier than the Silex, but that means more sleeping area and room for gear when using a wood-burning tent stove.
The Guardian 2.0 pitches with two trekking poles and the small footprint means you can squeeze it into tight spots. Careful catenary cuts allow for good seam tension which translates to better wind and weather performance. Add a nest for a fully enclosed shelter away from the ground and bugs.

Stake out the center rectangular portion.
Insert a pole into the pole pocket and raise, then stake out the door guyline.
Common problems are having the door stakes too far from the pole, creating sag in the ridgeline. Move the door stake closer to the pole by taking up slack in the line at the top, and this will solve the sag issues.
