009 The Ins and Outs of Backpacking Tents
Mar 29, 2023 Season 1 Episode 9
Sharadyn Futrell

Today’s solo episode is all about backpacking tents. I dive into the different types of tents, the difference of packed weight vs trail weight, how to know what size to get, and what you should know when buying a backpacking tent. 


The one-person tent I mention in the episode is the Featherstone UL Obsidian 1. It’s the only 1 person backpacking tent that I’ve liked. It’s wide enough for me to comfortably fit my wide sleeping pad and my backpack! Use code ROAMS15 for a discount on the entire website. You can learn more about the company by listening to Episode 2. 

New to the outdoors and don’t quite know where to start? Download the Essential Guide to Getting Outside - it covers the essentials of camping, hiking, and backpacking.
