Six Moon Designs - Skyscape Trekker

I did a write up on the Trekker a while back: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultralight/s/ekpSz4E4ds TLDR some cool advantages like needing few stakes, good 2 door ventilation, cool “almost 2 wall design” cool stargazing mode, sil poly is nice. Bummer vision is mostly the built in spanner that kinda dictates vertical packing, weight is a little high compared to GG the One, an also not DCF (but silnylon) tent.

I have a very old DCF skyscape trekker (technically it is my husband's.) It's a really cool little tent, my favorite of any tent design I've ever tried out. The best thing is how you can roll up both doors and then it's almost a mesh tent. You can set it up with only 3 stakes when the doors are rolled up. 2 more stakes for the doors. That's the fewest stakes of any tents that need stakes. The downsides are the shape of the bottom makes using a groundsheet difficult (less weight if you just don't use one) and the little bar across the top makes it harder to fold up. Usually I'd fold it and then roll it so that the bar is the width. Another option is the floorless Deschutes Plus from Six Moons. It's a floorless tent with mesh around the edges. Basically a Lunar Solo except because the mesh is all the way around the edge you get the entire interior space to use. You have to get a ground sheet that matches the size of the floor opening if you want a perfect seal, otherwise you'll have grass and dirt in part of your living space. I don't personally find that to be a big deal.

Spend a bit more and go with Six Moon Designs Skyscape. It’s a more reputable company. I lived in mine for all 500 miles of the CT. Still holding up like a champ many years and trips later…. PS: single wall tens are funky. It takes time to settle into and get used to. Not everyone likes em. Also, I did the the slightly more expensive model, but word is this one is more stable, just heavier fabric…

Safe a bit extra and get a six moons designs or durston gear tent Nature hike can be very hit or miss, and is definitely not ultralight
