hello my name is Terry Brill with MSR I'm here today to introduce to you the fly light tent it's our two-person minimalist shelter which takes advantage of your trekking poles that you already have with you the purpose of the video is to show you some of the features of the fly light tent and to take you through the four easy steps of setup so the first step is key with the fly light is lay it out on the ground and stake out all four corners tightly and evenly that's going to ensure when you start to put the poles in that the floor and the tent is in the right location so the next step is to insert your trekking poles into the front of the tent and we have these conveniently located pole pockets to securely locate the top of the pole now that you have the front of the fly light setup with your trekking poles you'll go ahead and take the small red pole and insert it into the rear of the tent and then stake it out securely if you have more than two trekking poles with you you can use the third one in place of the small red pole and leave the small red pole behind to save weight so now that you have all of your stakes and your poles in place you want to go around and fine-tune the tent and get the the optimal tension on the fabric now that we have the flight tent set up I'll show you some of the key features plenty of room for two campers large large awning which keeps your gear dry in the front ventilation on the tent like this is key and we incorporated a lot of mesh in this in this tent the two sides and a large rear vent in the back to keep keep condensation under control so there you have it MSR is fly light tent note for the minimalist camper for one or for two hi I'm Rob a Big Agnes and here to talk to you about the new pump house ultra sleeping pad pump

need more details go to Alps France calm you so the question is which Sol shelter is right for you it's really a question of risk level when I'm going out on a day trip or a short hike I take the three and a half ounce emergency bivy which reflects ninety percent of body heat and has seam-sealed edges to keep the wind water and rain out this ultralight bivvy is the one to take when your risk of an unplanned night out is lowest the SOL thermal bivvy is a little over nine ounces but it's nonwoven fabric is more durable and more comfortable it's 80 percent heat reflection is slightly lower than the emergency bivy but the thicker fabric helps keep heat inside with an adjustable side closure and foot vent you can control the temperature inside the bivi and vent for condensation the thermal bivy is even warm enough to be used on its own as a warm weather sleep system down to 50 degrees the eight and a half ounce Sol escape bivy is the most fully featured of the three offering heat reflection durability and breathability so you stay warm and dry with a quarter length side zipper and a draw cord hood closure you can batten down the hatches and extreme weather or leave the bivi partially open in warmer climates the escapes versatility sets it apart to in warm weather use it instead of your sleeping bag on an ultralight trip or crawl into it wearing a down jacket on a cooler fall night in the winter put your down sleeping bag inside the escape to boost its temperature rating the escape is the one to choose when you want the best the most durable and versatile backcountry shelter we have ever introduced with the SOL line of shelters compromise is a thing of the past Sol offers the right shelter for every trip to keep you safe during any night in the backcountry
