beginner backpacker here! found a 1p walrus arch rival in great condition on eBay and won in the last 15 seconds on auction for $115.
full weight (included stakes, poles, and bags) is 2lb 13oz. It may not be UL, but feels like for the price and excellent condition that this deserves a shout out!
seal on inside great, good smell, no stickiness and still water repellent.
Hey everyone, I am wanting to begin my backpacking journey! I live in the southwest within a day drive of a bunch of great parks for 3 day/2 night trips. My question is the initial investment. I weigh 110 pounds and 5’2” tall, so I feel like to stick within the 20% weight, I have to end up buying ultralight options for the big 3. Obviously, the cost is much higher this way and it’s not necessarily easy to find these for resale!
Just looking for some advice for the smaller in stature backpackers :)
Asking for my grandma if it’s still open. She thought it closed but wanted to confirm. The website is still up, so we aren’t sure!
