I had a BA Copper Spur UL2 for about 5 years and it got a 3-4" tear in the mesh of one of the doors. Sent it back to BA to be repaired. They couldn't repair it, so they sent me back a brand new one! Big Agnes is amazing!

Using my Copper Spur in North Wales, it blew down in a storm and snapped a pole, replacement sections are not available at the moment in the UK, contacted Big Agnes and they sent me a pole section from Wisconson free of charge. Great company.

Iβve been using BA tents for years, along with other brands, and theyβve held up really well. I always set it up at home following a trip, will clean up a bit, and let air dry before repacking. Works great for me!

BA rocks and has great customer service. I have three of their tents in my gear stable: a Tiger Wall UL 2 for solo BPing, a Copper Sur 3 for when Iβm out with the wife or just one of my teenage kids, and a Flying Diamond 8 for car camping with the entire family (6 of us). Love their sleep systems as well.
@seanymodizzle4785 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I have the Copper Spur HV UL3 for backpacking with my daughter, and just got the Tiger Wall UL2 Solution Dye for solo trips, which I took on a 4 day / 3 night Timberline Trail loop around Mt Hood last weekend. Performed perfectly . Both are amazing tents, easy to set up, and light. Love BA stuff!
@kristymoore7052 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I LOVE my Copper Spur, I donβt have the mtn glow. No need. With the awning you can also unzip both zippers and just stuff the square back under the rain fly and over the mesh for easy open door access. Iβve had it rain once and used the awning as intended sitting in a backpack chair. Worked great. I had the tiger wall, but I live in the Sierra which is basically granite. I could not ONCE stake it out properly with the semi-free standing ends, so gave up and got the copper spur. Iβve used it backpacking and travel car camping and have slept in it at least 60 nights with -0- issues.
@jondouglas8645 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ

I have it. Used it in February in Connecticut doing a AT section. Snow on the ground, packed down the snow and set her up. Great tent.
@petitehiker754 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
The BA Tiger Wall UL2 is the first tent I have ever owned, used it on two weekend trips now and I really like it. Very easy to set up for a newbie like me. Also plenty of space for me and all my gear, when using an extra wide sleeping pad. Wouldnβt share it with another person though, in that case I would go for the UL3 version. Only downside for me is the non adjustable guylines on the tent. Makes it harder to pitch for a beginner like me. Also after rain, when the nylon has started to sag a bit, I needed to redo all the stakes of the rainfly to tighten the pitch. Wouldβve been a lot easier if the guylines were adjustable instead of precut.
@timothychang8284 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Woah...that's a cool way to set up some shade/rain cover with the tarp tensioned on four trekking poles. I've seen it done with two poles, but rarely four. Can you show us how you did that? Or explain through the comments? Thanks for your upload as always!

@outbackwack368 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Thanks! I have my sights set on the new Fly Creek bikepacking tent for bikepacking. I think my backpacking days are done because of my knees.
@moabfool 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I have a Copper Spur UL2 HV. Love the quality, headroom, and the weight. The only issues I have with it are that it's a trapezoid instead of a rectangle, and that the doors open at the head end instead of the foot. If the tent were a rectangle our rectangular sleeping pads would fit well with no binding. Having the door opening at the foot also makes swinging one's feet in and out of the tent far easier, though it does make zipping the doors harder. I also have an REI Half Dome which opens at the foot which is why I even have an opinion on the matter.
@defencee Π ΡΠΊ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Hello, what you can say about compare rei half dome and Big Agnes? If compare pricing off course) is it worth paying for Big agnes?
@maximusjoseppi5904 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Could you please do a review of your mountain hardwear strato? I'm very interested in the tent but I'm worried about condensation and if it's good in weather. Thank you!
@caseyhayes4590 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I've done about 30 nights in Copper Spur UL2. So far, so good. My first UL tent was REI brand and only lasted me 14 months before every zipper was toast. I'm 7 months in on this one.

@mtadams2009 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I have the Tiger Wall 2 and a Jack Rabbit3, I think that's what it's called. I purchased both tents on sale at REI. I paid 300.for my Tiger Wall and I use it solo. The Jack Rabbit is not the lightest tent but I split the weight with my daughter so it's fine. For me the Tiger Wall has made solo trips much more doable. I have a Granite Gear 38 L pack and a Western Mountaineering ultra 20 bag along with a bunch of other light gear. I am in my 60s so pack weight means alot. I am still doing the same or more mileage as I did 30 years ago because my pack is so much lighter. Someday I will pull the trigger on a Zpack big three. Take care. Nice channel and content, thanks. Update, pulled the trigger on a Zpacks Duplex and I love it. I took it on my hike of the Long Trail in Vermont and itβs a palace for my dog and I. Super easy to set up and the tent material is not super thin like your BA. Well worth the money.

I would still buy another BA tent! My 1st was about 5 years old when It ceased being waterproof. BA gave me my purchase price credit for the tent and I bought another at a great price. I bought the copper spur HVUL1 bike packing tent in May. After 6 total nights of use, in August I discovered about 40% of the seam tape was loosening on the fly and some on the tent. BA would repair it and include free shipping but warned me it could take a while due to staffing. Luckily, where I purchased it online worked with me and they got a replacement tent sent out once FedEx had scanned my defective tent. I have 3 BA tents & 1 BA s.bag. The HVUL1 is my favorite. Sure, it's small but it keeps my pack weight down. The vestibule is monstrous! The storage is great. With my 21.5 in sleeping pad I have enough room on either side to set up my bag and other stuff in the tent. The vent up top was a key selling point for me. The zippers are quite good with a tiny bit of care taken.

I got the Scout 2 Carbon. I fabbed the rear pole, made a footprint, ditched the stakes (which are worthless in the Sierra) and replaced them with pads (circles of tarp material), and use BOTH of my poles to prop up the front so I don't have to dodge to get out, and added a second front guy for the same reason. All in all, with a bag to hold it all, 22 oz. I do not actually use a tent unless it is raining, so light is right.

@TexasRoast 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
For extended use of these tents, it is advisable that you practice extra care with the zippers. They have a tendency to lose the ability to zip over time. The reason for this is that the zipper loosens itself and eventually doesn't apply enough pressure over time. I personally experienced this issue with the copper spur hv ul1, but experiences may vary.

I have the Tiger Wall 2 Platinum. The tent + dyneema stuff sack + fly + poles + cordage comes out to 2 lbs 1 oz on my scale (I believe they advertise 2 lb 4 oz). Great tent. Not a lot of storage inside.

I run 2 tents....a marmot fortress 3 p for winter runs and when the dog is with me...the copper spur ul is what I run when I'm going lite.... Both are excellent tents so far

So...looking to buy 2 tents in the near future, and pretty sure I'll stick with BA. Will by a standard Tiger Wall 3-person for camping with my partner; the decision now is for myself. Trying to go UL... there's the Scout Carbon...and now the Tiger Wall 2 Carbon. The Tiger Wall is 7 oz heavier and $200 or 300 more expensive, but just a better, more comfortable tent (and fewer stakes). Any thoughts or comparative experiences, anyone?
@vahikertrash543 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Thanks for reminding me to remind my dad to make a warranty claim on his BA tent. BTW the Duplex is lighter, and I believe more durable. It also has vestibules. Neat camera, I'd looked at their Go series for a minute. Definitely making some cool stuff.
@DanBecker 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
I think youβre looking at the BA scout platinumβ¦ The tent in the video is the BA Scout carbon. Itβs 16 ounces :-)

Hey Dan! Looking for the best lightest 4 person family backpacking tent, so far I see the βBig Agnus Copper Spur HV UL4 Tent 4 person and 3 seasonβ that is only 5lbs 8 oz for a 4 person tent! Do you think this is the best light family backpacking tent option for 4 person or do you think there is a better one? I have a wife and 3 small kiddos to stuff in there. Itβs not cheap at $650. Thanks!
@DanBecker 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Definitely. I would say thatβs probably at the top of my list for a tent that large and at that weight. Definitely expensive though! Alternative would be a couple of 2 person tents. Something less expensive and a bit heavier that you could buy two of. Paria Outdoor Products sells some pretty decent tents that are very expensive for what they are.

I got a B.A. copper spur 4 years ago and the shock cord in the poles completely lost the stretch!

What is that snow camo sleeping bag he shows for a second inside the tiger wall? You can see it at like 7:06
@DanBecker 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
You can find it here. The print is called a hexcam. π ugqoutdoor.com/top-quilts/bandit/?ref=2098

Big Agnes Copper Spur for the win for me!

Prices ? Can you purchase in UK π¬π§? Cheers Dan π

The Tiger Wall Platinum also does not have vents in the fly - another difference. (Itβs what kept me from getting the platinum version of the Copper Spur). I personally did not like the Tiger Wall because the foot end is so shallow with only a ridge pole there. My footbox would actually push the mesh against the fly and get wet from condensation.
@DanBecker 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Good catch!!
@CCCPSpetznezBF4 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Any luck with the Mountain Hardware Strato UL 2 tent? Stuck between getting that or a Copper Spur.
@DanBecker 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
That tent really compares more to the tiger wall. Since they are both semi freestanding. But I would definitely take the tiger wall. The mountain hardware is really finicky to set up. It has very odd clip attachments to the poles. Other than that itβs a pretty good tent. But again my vote is the tiger wall.
@CCCPSpetznezBF4 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
@@DanBecker great, thanks for the insight!
@SamwiseOutdoors 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
My lightest tent tent is a BA Scout UL2 and it's *fine*. It's shelter and it's light, but it's kind of a moisture trap and that inside trekking pole is a pain to deal with when you kick it over at night. However the lightness and compactness and ease definitely make it a worthwhile piece of kit. It's fine.

Big Agnes Frying Pan SL2 Tent with Footprint. Got it a few years ago so no longer in production and a bit heavy but I enjoy the comfort of space.

I love my Seedhouse 1 so much I bought a second one in case they are discontinued!!

How is that Rab Phantom, kinda off topic but really want to know! PS the Duplex is 19oz.
@DanBecker 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
So nice. Just over 3 oz and has yet to wet thru. Just a pull over so no pockets or other features. Expensive though at around $200
@kennedymcleod1479 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Dan ! I have been camping and hiking for over 30 years. The best sleep I ever had on the trail was in a hammock in the snow and I stayed warm in high winds. I was amazed ! That was my first night hammock camping. I am a dyed in the wool believer now.
@janh5199 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
My husband and I are new backpackers. We are both tall and on the large size. We were looking at a BA 2 person tent. Do you think it would be too small?
@DanBecker 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Itβs a bit cramped but doable if you keep your gear in the vestibules. Iβve used a 2p with my wife and itβs been fine. But a 3p will have more wiggle room and you can split the weight between the two of you.
@AtomicBleach 2 ΡΠΎΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΎΠΌΡ
Tigerwall UL3 is the perfect tent for you and one other person maybe a small kid or dog added in as a 3rd member. It's got tons of space inside for both people and their gear.
