you the palatial room for your get-together in the great outdoors with the Celtic camp cabin you'll be the envy of any campground the roomy cabin light design with its nearly vertical sidewall some ceiling height of over six feet gives you and your Posse plenty of room to hang out to build your cabin in the woods start by laying the ten out and assembling the poles lay the poles on top of the tent the steel poles should be at the front and the fiberglass poles at the back now insert the tip of the steel pole into the front corner flex the top hole and place the tip of the fiberglass pole into the Grumman at the back now add the black steel pole to the front of the tent and clip the front wall to the center of the front brow pole to complete your framing insert the tip of the green fiberglass pole into the grommet on the side of the tent make sure this pole is on the outside of the rest of the poles now it's time to raise the walls unclip the center back to the back brow pole work your way around the tent while attaching the clips to the poles where the poles cross feed these straps of the rings like this for full rain protection you'll need to cover your roof with the seam tape rainfly using the color-coded cords align the rainfly and clip it in place the slant of the roof helps to shed rain and keep you dry now open up the big D door and move on in the windows on each side are great for visibility and airflow this strong and sturdy tent is built to wander so take the camp cabin along your next campground or festival get down and enjoy a home away from home new for 2017 is the MSR big Titan this is the Big Brother to the Titan kettle that we've had all along this one comes in a full two liters it's great for one or two people and this is for anybody who's traveling and who's really can't counting their grams needing to be lightweight this comes in at six ounces it's got packed flat handles that make for really easy pouring it's got the horsepower and it has a nice snug lid that stays on nice and tight this is works really great for the alpinist who have you know those smaller packs you know and per bike packers who've got panniers this needs to fit inside of I'm good for one to two people comes in it six ounces fits really well into alpine packs due to its aspect ratio where it's not too why it's got a nice tall stance to it and I'll forgot their ability when you're you know you throw down your pack or lean your bike over you don't want to just like crush your your pots as well so this gives you that really ultra light and very durable everyone its Chuck for these to run the sports kayak school one day 20 of our kayaking trip down the coast of Maine currently in beautiful Casco Bay just a couple miles east of Portland and along the way down the coast I've been tortured testing the EMS velocity 1/10 and I love it it's treated me great the whole way I was a little nervous and skeptical at first but I hear the terms lightweight I instantly think duct tape fixing things things breaking just not holding up and that hasn't been the case I've slept on rocky beaches spruce forest floors all over the place and nothing Bad's happened to the floor yet I even the other night 20-knot winds before I had a chance to stake it down I just stuck it up against a tree and let the wind just like hold it onto the tree for me while I was doing some other things and no tears rips anything in the hole on the floor so I've been super thrilled about it I guess give you a couple other key features that I really love we'll start with a with the rain fly tightening it all the tightening mechanisms are super super easy you pull down on the side attach to the fly you pull up on the other make it as snug as you need nice and tight bounce a quarter off it no rain will get in there um also all the guidelines are all reflective I know that seems super simple but being able to see those in the gleam of a headlamp at night I'm super super helpful also the vents in the rain fly they work really well I haven't had too much condensation up on the inside at all while sleeping also the supports right here that holds the vents out these are hollow hollowed out straws I really like gear that has multi-purpose so in the severe case of an emergency and you had to perform a tracheotomy you've got your hollow straw right there perfect so a rain fly has been working out super well I'll get a good chance to test it apparently supposed to get to three inches tomorrow night so I'll let you know how it goes as for the tent I already told you the floor thought it was gonna be lightweight nervous it's been working out great I'm really OCD about keeping all my camp gear in certain places knowing where everything is you wake up nil night you need to get something the inside to pockets up at the head to pockets down at the feet super nice easy keep everything exactly where you need it to be also up on top is a hanging gear basket I keep my glasses up there at nighttime I also put my headlamp up there so I know exactly where those are when I need them another really great feature that I really enjoy again similar to the reflective cord the ends of your zipper pulls all glow-in-the-dark so you wake up in that panic having to go to the bathroom at 3 in the morning in your tent you can't find the zipper doesn't happen with this super super easy so based on the torture test I've been able to give them after 20 days along the coast of Maine which is a pretty rugged place in the month of October velocity 1 gets my full endorsement it's a pretty nice tent if you get a chance go out and try one for yourself for sure
