About
I coordinate multi-season test cycles and synthesize team data with field diaries. My reviews balance human factors—condensation, storage, partner flow—with storm performance. I care less about hype and more about repeatable comfort that makes consecutive mornings feel unremarkably good.
Background
On a sodden shoulder season loop, I mapped drip lines with chalk at dawn, then shifted vestibule choreography so socks, stove, and retriever all had lanes. The forecast missed; the tent didn't. Measured routines turn messy weather into predictable mornings, and predictable mornings make multi‑day trips feel generous.
Perspective
I prefer tents that support tidy workflows and consistent sleep across conditions.
