Ground Batu

After many years of researching for a roomy, lighter, affordable backpacking/car camping tent – with a huge vestibule- my adventure has come to a very happy ending. The BATU  3 season tent is my answer.  I just spent 5 nights in the Red Rocks Canyons of Nevada for a Rock Climbing vacation.  The wind was brutal but I was happily tucked inside; noisy of course, but not as loud as my neighbors’ tents.  Most important, in the morning, I was still standing whereas many of the other tents were whipped, torn, or just gone. The two vestibules make it very comfortable and you can actually sit under their cover for extra protection from Sun or Wind.  I was able to put the tent up alone without even reading the directions.  The weight (6.1 lbs) can be distributed between two backpackers.  It comes with its own compression bag and neatly stores in a small amount of space.  I would recommend this tent to anyone who is looking for more bang for your buck-  but the best part is the quality you get for under $200.00.  – Petey
