This video reviews the Ledge Recluse tent, highlighting its roomy interior, lightweight design, and excellent vestibule space, making it suitable for three backpackers and a dog. The reviewer notes its good mesh integration, ventilation, and interior pockets, while also pointing out cost-saving measures like thinner aluminum poles, lower quality webbing, and less durable floor material that necessitates a footprint. Despite these compromises inherent in its sub-$100 price point, the tent is praised for offering significant value and livability for its cost, making it a competitive option in the 3-person lightweight tent category and a potential choice for a Bug Out Kit (BOK).
This video provides a detailed review of the Kelty Gunnison 2-person tent, highlighting its performance in high-altitude and mountaineering conditions. The reviewer praises its value for money, spacious rectangular floor plan, and durable polyester rain fly. He notes its quick setup due to color-coded features and clip pole attachments. While acknowledging some sidewall sagginess inherent in two-pole designs and a slight weight increase due to upgrades (footprint, MSR stakes), the reviewer is impressed with its ability to withstand moderate winds when properly guyed out. The tent's excellent mesh integration and under-fly breathability, including hooded vents, are also commended for effective air exchange and keeping occupants dry in adverse weather. The reviewer concludes that the Kelty Gunnison is a cost-effective and reliable shelter for backcountry use or emergency kits, backed by strong customer support.
