I live, hunt, hike, work, camp in a rain forest in Alaska. Dyneema has been a game changer for me because it doesn’t absorb water. I camp/hunt/hike for 30 days at a stretch. I work month on , month off. There are many times where i don’t see the sun in those 30 days. No sun, your gear never has a chance to dry off. It will wet out. Tarps become soaked, extra weight to carry AND when temps drop below freezing, you really have issues with your tarp/tee pee/tent. So that’s why I go with Dyneema. It doesn’t absorb water, and does not stretch , that is good and bad. In winds, snow load, it really pulls on the seams and the material itself starts to ..pull apart at the micro level. My nylon gear actually lasts longer. I’ll never tell people what they should or should not buy. My guess , and that is just a guess, most of you don’t deal with the rain I receive. And you don’t stay out on long stretches more than seven days. If you did, you would not be crawling on the ground into a homeless shelter ( that’s what I call tents and such ) you would want a shelter you can stand in. So there is my two cents. 🤷🏻♂️
I'm a dyneema craving freak but didn't go that route with this tent. For starters it was out of stock. But it's only 6 oz difference. Dyneema is almost see-through and does not filter light well. A full moon can keep you up all night. It doesn't shed the snow as well either. For less than the dyneema tent I got a still poly and the stove.

Just picked it up last night on the drop along with the nest. Can’t wait to try them both out!
Steven, with a lot of options out there right now in terms of stoves. Which one do you prefer? Have you gotten to test peax’s?
Any idea why Peax did not do Silpoly instead of silnylon?
“Pretty much stand up in this thing”. 🤷🏻♂️. Can you stand up in that thing?
looks like sitka fixed the jet stream hood?!
Great products come at a price. All the haters don’t worry, nobody is forcing you to buy one.
Dollar General budget find commandos. 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

Just came here to say overpriced . And I did before watching the video.
$1200 for a tipi tent what a fucking joke. Paying $600 for the solitude tipi was bad enough
