  • What was the name / mfg of the tent shown in the video?

  • @MrSchpankme

    The tent in the video is an old Eureka "Biker" from 1986. Still going strong as a backup tent when I go with kids and grandkids.

  • Great Video took me along time to come across it a shame

  • After back surgery the outdoors were open again when I discovered hammocks. Sleeping on the ground will not work. What I found in the hammock world was impressive not only is it the most comfortable they are so light that I have come to the belief that when traveling in ANY form we should carry these. You never know when you are going to challenged to sleep rough if you have a hammock the only rough part is finding a spot. Ray Mears teaches you 3 knots you need to hammock that is it. Great vid.

  • @OnlyTheLightest

    Hands down best bag on the market highly recommend it.

  • great video, thanks for sharing

  • I had a Eureka Biker! My son borrowed, and lost it at a music festival. After lots of research, I picked the Nemo Obi I as my solo tent (HumbleOutdoors $270 w/ free Nemo footprint).

    The vestibule is perfectly sized for tucking my pack and shoes in for the night and the tents sports plenty of ventilation.

  • Stamps.com will give you a 5 pound digital scale or sell you a 25 digital scale for $49, and you get $40 credits.

  • Great video and info...thanks

  • @guyoverthre

    It's a Western Mountaineering HighLite, which is usually plum in color. Steve
