Big Agnes Fishhook UL2 Tent

[JPSeveland]

I am looking into getting a new backpacking tent for my self this year and have come to the conclusion you buy big agnes or hilliburg i have a kelty but its a bit heavyer then i would like. The big agnes fishhook looks to be a nice tent. This tent does not have a zipper door on it and was currious if any one out there has used this tent and what they think of it. Thank you.

I too have been looking into the fishhook, and am looking forward to insight.

Go to steapandcheap to buy it. This was not a big hit from BA, so they sell really cheap on clearance.

Amazon has it for 180.00 and i beleave big agnes has discontinued this tent

what do you guys think of the angle springs model?

Looks like good deal I want a ultra light 3 person so you can actually sleep 2 people comfortably. It says there is a double wall but also says it is mostly mesh so I am thinking it may not retain heat well up in the bighorns in late October.

Late October in the big horns I would recommend a tipi with a stove or a 4 season shelter like hilleberg

As soon as you get these types of tents big enough for 3 people, you also flatten the top out to collect ice and snow. I think you can get away with it on 1P and 2P a little better.

I have never had the floorless TP's, but I agree this may be a great time for you to look into it.

Thanks for the info guys. I have a wall tent with a stove but the thing is so darn heavy. I want to be able to pack in all my gear about five miles in to where I want to hunt and the wall tent is not an option. I have been peaking at those teepees recently and that has caught my interest.

Go with the 3 man tent! I have the copper spur UL3 and like it. I can't imagine 2 people in a 2 man tent.
