Where was this picture taken? Looks like a nice chill FSR.

 

i saw a YouTube video from a guy who replaced the 4 velcro attachments for holding the two halves of a Mt. Shasta together with clips. i can't find the video but i just bought parts for the mod. anyone else try this?

i hate how the velcro holds is so crappy. seems like these buckles will keep the tent squashed in there with my sleeping bag and blanket.

I haven't done it, but I also hate that velcro. Let us know how it works out!

 

Do any of you guy's have experience with one of these? https://www.rei.com/product/862517/goal-zero-yeti-150-solar-generator

Look like it might be a good little pack for the kit.

 

What do you guts use to patch your tent covers? I rubbed a spot through the PVC material sliding my canoe up and down it.

 

try Tear Aid

I've used it on canvas boat tops, rain jackets and other uses. Type B is for vinyl and PVC. you can find it in-town at places that sell and service white water rafting equipment. Good luck.

 

looking at a CVT tent...Im stuck deciding between a Mt Bachelor or a Mt Shasta. It'll be just me and my gf...she's small (4'10") and I'm 5'8". is the Mt Shasta worth the $400 more for the extra 6-8 inches width wise?

 

I can't speak to the size width wise, (you'll probably be fine), but be sure to look at the height too. I was looking at the Tepui Ayer vs. Kukenam before I noticed I wouldn't be able to sit up in the Ayer.

 

I'm 5'11 163. The spouse is 5'3 115. We need the extra width. Maybe you don't. you are "tweeners." I say go up in size.

 

I'd pay $400 to have 8 inches.

 

Yeah. $400 for 8 inches. That's a deal. On the verge of "too much," but a little extra is usually appreciated.

 

well played sir, well played

 

god damn. are you lanky as hell? Cuz you sound like you're lanky as hell. I'm just a hair under 180lb... maybe I'm just stocky

 

Anyone here thrown a RTT on a 6' ARE CX cap without the extra weight bracing?

 

My gf and I have the Cayley. It's an old CVT model. It's 50" wide and we fit fine. I'm 6'3" and she is 5'8". Neither of us are fat though. That is where you'll struggle with width. Idk if you are fat.

 

Does anyone else have a hard time getting the floor to zip into the annex room on your CVT tent? I feel like its almost impossible on mine. It will only go so far and then it stops. I have a friend that has the same issue as well just wondering if yall experienced the same thing

 

Eh, seems a little expensive for for it provides. Plus it takes forever to charge. I just got back from 3 day camping trip. Had a bunch of lights and phones plugged in, people charging cameras, blowing up mattresses and even ran an air compressor to inflate a tire on this dudes trailer. All off my regular battery. After 3 days the truck started with 0 issues. On my previous trip I had a 1100 watt inverter hooked up in addition to a the built in 400 watt one to run DJ equipment and powered speakers.
