Blacktail 3 Tent

The Blacktail series of tents, available in two, three, and four-person sizes, is a great choice for both backcountry and front country adventures. These tents are lightweight enough to carry on long hikes but sturdy enough for regular use. They offer excellent value for backpackers seeking a comfortable place to rest after a tiring day on the trail. The Blacktail 3 tent features two side-entry doors and vestibules, providing easy access to the spacious sleeping area. This design allows you to enter and exit quietly, even when sharing the tent with a companion. With a floor area of 4.1m² (44ft²), it offers plenty of room to stretch out. The combined vestibule area of 0.8m² + 0.8m² (9ft² + 9ft²) gives you extra space to store your gear. And it's a freestanding design for easy setup. Weighing only 2.35kg (5.18lbs), it won't add much burden to your backpack.

Using the Blacktail 3 tent is a breeze. First, find a flat and dry spot to set it up. Unpack the tent and lay it out on the ground. Connect the poles according to the instructions and insert them through the pole sleeves. Then, stake down the corners and guylines to secure the tent. When entering or exiting the tent, use the side-entry doors to avoid disturbing your tent - mate. Be careful not to snag the tent fabric on sharp objects. For maintenance, after each use, shake off any dirt or debris. If it gets wet, dry it thoroughly before packing it away. Store the tent in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and mildew growth. Check the poles and stakes regularly for any signs of damage and replace them if necessary.
