Thank you for all the thought and details that go into your tents. I'm on my second Notch (the first one lasted about 11 years, even with 3000 miles of use) and it's just the best. Super easy setup, the pole height is the same that I use to hike with so no fidgeting with it every night and morning, bomb-proof in high winds and rain, and just enough room for me and all my loose gear with the pack in a vestibule. Thank you for taking the time to explain your process, and keep up the great work! ❤, Piñata 🪅
This is brilliant. Only half way through but I usually make a basic three sided tarp tent tepe with my 3*3 tarp. It is 1000% more usable by using two poles to make an A frame. I have carbon poles with 3d printed ends with holes that I tie together at the top of the A. Works extremely well.
Do you know some resources for lessons on tent design and pole structure? On TH-cam or maybe even a book? Would love to learn about different designs and how they react to the environment.

Thanks and glad the Notch is working well for you.
Fascinating to see the evolution of shelter structures and materials. Really enjoyed it, thank you.
You're welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.

Love my ProTrail!! - Keep up the great work :)
I have other shelters but I always go back to my Protrail. I've even swapped it back on the eve of a trip after packing a different one😮
what ive been looking for, excellent video thank you!
You're welcome.
The notch li is my favorite backpacking tent ever.
An interesting lecture. I wish there was a full series of these that covered every tarptent model. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it.
That was very informative! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing, very interesting!
Love your lecture! I've been finding videos about introduction to tent designs for a long time. I really needed this, thanks. :))
You're very welcome. Hope it was helpful.
Is that a proprietary CAD just for tents? What software do you recommend?
Very interesting.....not something I've given much thought about really. 👌
what do you use to create models or concepts I,.e materials? thank you
As an amateur tent design enthusiast, what CAD software do you recommend?
