Fantastic video, well made and informative. Thank you for sharing your experience

[@BackpackingGearNut]

My pleasure! Thank you for watching.

[@eddieknight2202]

Great explanation

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thank you

[@IamAndrewDucker]

This is the exact video I’ve been looking for. Not a lot of videos on the new flash air tents.

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thank you for your feedback I was hoping this would be helpful to people! I think one of the things that people aren’t sure about with trekking pole tents is how hard are they to set up. So I thought this would be good information.

[@MrRay645]

great video, would have been very helpful when I was deciding on a good but reasonably priced tent. I was in a bit of a rush and needed a small light tent and just crossed my fingers and got the Flash 1 but was second guessing it for a week due to the reviews of similar ones, now that I have used it a bunch I feel like lots of the bad reviews on this style tent are due to improper set up. (and also thinking condensation is rain getting in) My first trip was really humid and cool at night so I learned I needed more air flow to keep condensation from forming on the inside. I rigged my fly half open with some shot cord, didn't know it had a hook/toggle to do it before watching this video. *FYI I think its much easier to set up with the fly zipped all the way down.

Trekking pole tent usually requires some practice to get the pitch correct. I am glad that it is working for you! Thank You for your comments you are very kind!

[@behind-the-gear]

Love that tent. I was seconds away from buying it but decided to wait for a sale haha. Got to love when rei has big sales!

[@BackpackingGearNut]

I know that REI is going to have their big sale very soon. I’m out on trail so it’s harder for me to look at the details. I think it’s happening this weekend or next something like that. If you find the dates can you throw it in the comments?
As always great to hear from you!

[@behind-the-gear]

Hey great timing cause the sale started today and goes till the 29th🎉. Have fun out there!

[@BackpackingGearNut]

@@behind-the-gear thanks!

[@ShonHancock]

Great video. Very accurate ;)

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thank You!

[@AverageBishop-]

Nice video

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thanks

[@cretiamartinson4614]

Excellent directions, very understandable.

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thank you!

[@garylines5755]

It is fine if you are a weekend warrior but a long hike not so much like most of REI products.

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thanks!

[@EricFleming231]

I am sorry, it's called a taut line hitch, it makes all rope adjustable. FFS.

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Thank You! I didn't know that.

[@ketoincontext2306]

What is wrong with you? This guy is here with a great informative video, sharing information in a kind patient way. And obviously you needed to learn something about this tent, or putting it up, or you were just interested in this topic; whatever the reason you chose to partake in his knowledge. And in return you are rude and disrespectful in telling him the name of a knot?

[@BackpackingGearNut]

@@ketoincontext2306 Thank You

[@EricFleming231]

Excuse me, but I'm imparting actual information that people don't need all this little pieces of crap. All you have to do is tie a small knot that has been readily available for decades. And if you don't like my tone I'm sorry and I don't care.

[@johnreilly8672]

I didn't catch the price.

[@BackpackingGearNut]

299 USD

[@johnreilly8672]

Thanks for the reply. Too much for me.

[@BackpackingGearNut]

Watch for REI sales because their store brand products tend to go on sale fairly often and I’ve seen it for upwards of 30% off

[@theogohioan1633]

It's on sale now for $179.99

[@BackpackingGearNut]

@@theogohioan1633 Thanks!
