Luxury

I am trying to pack ligher but I still want a bit of luxury in the backcountry. Plus I really, really hate bugs. I carted 30lbs up the Mist trail and was really happy to climb into my new Copper Spur UL1 at LYV. Wow, this is an awesome single tent and feels huge inside. The headroom is incredible. Two might fit in a pinch, but it would be tight and you would have to spoon it. At about 3 lbs including a foot print, it's the best of the light free standing singles(I swapped out the stakes for MSR needles). The vestibule is huge, it has a mini back door and a built in pocket for your goodies. Really hard to knock much about it. A bit of a pain to get in with the fly up, the footprint fits loose and it is spendy. But all in all, it's still an A+. Waking up clean and bug free, watching those dusty dudes who slept on the ground mope about, priceless. p.s. Just did trip two through 20 miles of mosquito hell and a bottom zip door would of kept more of them out. Regardless it's still five stars.
