- Here are my first impressions, review, and setup of the Gossamer Gear The One tent!
This is a single-wall, trekking pole tent that weighs 17.7 ounces.
If you want to try the tent for yourself, here is the link: www.gossamergear.com/collecti...
Good to see you back.
Really good video. Thanks, I have already viewed a couple your 2023 videos
I’ve used the Two and the One for about 5 years combined. I use the stakes that come with it except for the vestibule lines.. I use mini ground hogs for those anchor pints. I’ve used these tents in the Appalachian mountains as well as the Sierra and they’ve never let me down.
Good video, Gabby. Helpful. I'm looking forward to a full review once you've hiked with it.
Great video... I have the GG "one" and "two" and have used them on hundreds of trail miles.... great tents if you need something light. I used my "one" in the woods of PA (snow/rain) and it does well because of the ventilation. No serious condensation issues so it should serve you well on the AT.
Agreed with the size. I also have The One and it fits great in my pack, osprey arua and I have the gossamer Gear mariposa.
nice video review about the tent
thanks Gabby
The BIG AGNES! I loved love loved my Big Agnes Tent!
Nice review. Hope you make it back to the AT this year. I'm making my second attempt as well. Maybe see you out there. --Pale Rider
Get some stretchy cord and attach the tent tub to the outside stakes. Save yourself 4 stakes and the problems that go with driving them into the ground. With a solid 2.5 season ground pad and a decent sleeping (bag) / top quilt.... Your good till 20!
Cool tent! Thanks for the review. I’m leaving in February to finish the AT! Safe travels. Jukebox
Hey jukebox! Are you starting over or picking up where you left off?
@@journeytothedestination starting where I left off, mile 752.
I think I like this tent considerably better than the Zpacks tent. It seems to have much better condensation management in its design. And I like the way it has little awnings over the ends to direct rain away
I just got this tent. 1st time using it will be tomorrow night North of Neel Gap. 😊
IMO: This is THE solo backpacking tent. I used a tarp for 15 years. Going into the ONE was a massive upgrade. And you'll get some attention at camp too! IMO #2: The condensation issue is overblown. While tarp camping, the top outer surface of my down sleeping bag always got wet because it would touch the bottom of my tarp near the ground. This really was dew, not condensation b/c the tarp was so open to the air. Never hurt a thing. Modern bags / quilts are DWR / Pertex, etc., so even less to worry about. Like Mark Twain said, "It's 'mind over matter.' If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."
Stake recommendation: Don't use the stakes that come with ANY tent. MSR Groundhogs (minis if you are super concerned about weight) will hold better and weigh the same or less. Not CHEAP, mind you, but less likely to pull out.
I’ll have to check them out!
Ive bought a lot of stakes and msr are my favorite. I wasted a lot of money before them.
Totally agree. Msr
groundhogs are the only
stakes I ve come across that I havent been able to break or bend . The minis are great.
Any update video ?
After using this tent for awhile, how bad was the condensation?
This questions format is incorrect as its assumes there was troublesome condensation.
Take care
