With my thru hikes inching ever closer I am working to get my pack weight down. I made the decision after our shakedown to switch out my tent from the Slingfin Portal 2 to the super lightweight and very popular Zpacks Duplex. This was the tent I was originally looking at when I started planning this trip. The weight of this tent is 21.2 oz. My previous tent was 2 lbs 14 oz.
In this video I will unpack my new tent and set it up for the first time, as well as a few other accessories that I purchased from Zpacks, one of which is the Duplex Freestanding Flex Kit. With this kit the Duplex becomes a freestanding tent, which is super handy in areas where it is difficult to use stakes. It also allows the tent to be set up without trekking poles.
Come check out my new tent!
