Copper Spur UL2 Expedition

I like the Big Angus Copper Spur UL2. I just got back from a 3 day trip with it and it stood up well to wind and rain.

I have been in the middle of wind and hail storm in Texas in the Copper Spur and it held up perfectly. Not sure the issues they had, but wind can dramatically vary.

As someone who is 6’ 10”. I have the Xmid pro 2 and it’s a game changer. I finally can fit without needing to curl up. I had the BA copper spur UL2 prior and it was ok but the xmid is another level.

Another vote for the BA Copper Spur UL line!! We have the 2 person and now as a family of 3 plus two mini Aussies we have the 4P. Love these tents, so spacious!!

I found a screaming deal (so I thought) for the Big Agnes Big House 6 at Campsaver last week for $360. Either price is an awesome markdown from the $599 they still get for same tent in the green color. I've had their Copper Spur 2 UL for years and love the BA quality. I've read (here) the orange fly may attract wasps (thus their surplus and discontinued color) but I've never experienced that with my Copper Spur (same color) in the High Sierra. Besides, I only attach the fly when I NEED to (1:6 trips). Best of luck!

I used a 1P tent (X-Mid 1) on the PCT, but upon experiencing the others' tents, decided to upgrade to a 2P (BA Copper Spur UL2). I think it is well worth the added weight, and I pack (almost) ultra-light.

For real one handed ease, a bivvy sack would be my recommendation. I have the Big Agnus Copper Spur UL2, and I think it would also fit the bill for a one handed setup: 1) Stretch out ground sheet and pound (4) stakes into the corners 2) lay tend out on top of ground sheet 3) Assemble poles 4) Put poles into corners of tent/ground sheet (this creates the tent framework structure) 5) Snap tent onto poles It would get a little trickier when using the rain fly, and setup in the wind would suck. Good luck!

Hello All, Looking to tighten up pack for 3 season 2-3 day trips in the Adirondacks. Above freezing, cools down to 40ish some evenings, warm days. Humid, frequent rain. **Goal Baseweight (BPW):**  10 lbs (maybe only possible without cannister) **Budget:**  Open to buying right items but don't want to spend $500 to save a 1 oz **Non-negotiable Items:** * Covered Tent * Cook system * Bear Cannister (required by statute) **Solo or with another person?:**  Solo **Thoughts:** Tent - I have the Copper Spur UL2, which I have no problems with other than weight. Sometimes I do camp on a platform and sometimes I set up a basecamp do some hikes from there so I am leaning towards semi-freestanding. Have almost bought HMG 1, (think its probably too minimalist for me), Durston x mid2 pro (kinda expensive doesn't work with my polls), and Nemo Hornet Elite 2p (could use a coupon code to be less expensive than other similar tents). I've had each of these 1 click away from purchase dozens of times and always back out. Pillow - want a new one. Shoes - Shakedowns don't often focus on footwear? Would that make a huge diff for me? Clothes - I'd love to get this weight down but I do get after it and love changing after long sweaty days. Food/Toiletries - Aren't exact weights, change on each hike. If I got light and compact enough I have an Outdoor Vitals Skyline 30L fastpack that I'd love to load up for single night climbs.
