    OVERVIEW:

    This ultralight Dyneema® fabric pyramid tent is elegantly designed, ruggedly built, and falls into a very interesting space spec-wise.  At 16oz for the canopy and able to be pitched with a trekking pole, this tent is light enough to be considered for UL solo trips, yet big enough for two-person summer trips, or one-person hot tent trips.

    Handmade in Grand Junction, CO.

    Available for pre-sale. 

    Limited quantities available.

    • Line Loc 3mm Cordage Stake Outs
    • One Zipper With Rain Flaps

    STOVE INFORMATION FOR DYNEEMA® SHELTERS: 

    Dyneema® will not burn or propagate a flame however it does have a lower melting point. Due to the lower melting point, we recommend you do NOT use anything that inhibits sparks from moving away from your tent such as a rain cap. We also do not recommend burning duraflame logs, pitchy wood or accelerants that can create a lot of soot. Use a spark arrestor. 

    When using a wood stove in your Dyneema® tent, please be aware of the potential risks of heat damage. Dyneema, while incredibly strong and lightweight, is not heat-resistant and can melt or weaken when exposed to high temperatures. Prolonged heat from a stove or chimney, or direct contact with sparks or embers, can cause irreversible damage to the tent fabric, compromising its integrity and performance.

    To minimize risks:

    Always use a stove jack and heat-resistant barriers where the chimney passes through the tent.

    Maintain proper clearance between the stove, chimney, and tent walls.

    Monitor the stove constantly and ensure adequate ventilation.

    Dyneema® tents are a significant investment, and heat damage is not covered under warranty. For your safety and to protect your tent, we recommend exercising extreme caution.

    KNOTS:  

    Read Knots You Should Know to learn our favorite ways of rigging cordage to perform tasks.  The most common tasks you'll find are:

    • Putting a Prusik On The Pole to pitch a nest or rig a dryline for hanging gear. 
    • Tying guyline or mainline to a tree or branch. 
    • Connecting line to a guyout. 
    • Tying off to a stake. 

     

     STOVE RECOMMENDATIONS:

    INTRO TO HOT TENTS:

    The most common questions we get about hot tents are:

    • How do you not burn the tent down?  
      • The stove jack is a high temp fiberglass material rated to several thousand degrees.  The tent material never touches the hot pipe.  You can get pinholes from floating embers, but a small dab of silicone seals the pinhole and doesn't hurt the shelter.
    • How does a floorless shelter work in wet weather?
      • Really darn well.  Don't pitch in a depression obviously, but the ground inside dries out quickly, and it's super convenient to just walk in with muddy shoes (or dogs) and not worry about getting your floor dirty.
    • What about condensation?
    • What about carbon monoxide?
      • It's truly not a concern.  We include a peak vent, plus the shelter will draw air through the zipper and under the sod skirt.  If you're still concerned, leave a door unzipped 8" or so at the bottom to allow more venting.
