Ethan's Seedhouse Tent Review - It's My Choice for A Rugged Little Lightweight, One-Person Tent

Searching for an excellent value in a strong, comfortable backpacking tent that's fast to set up and yet strong and resilient? The Big Agnes Seedhouse 1 just may be the tent for you.

The Seedhouse 1 can be a roomy tent, even for my 6'2" and 235 pound body. It has a great weight-to-price ratio and is effortless to set up, yet includes 11 stake-down points for rough weather.

Although just a little heaver than it is super-light cousin the SL1, this tent is more durable and to me is worth the additional weight. Naturally, if you are willing to invest a small far more and want a super-light model, the SL1 could be your choice.

Features for both tents include:
- Super lightweight hub/pole system with plastic clips that quickly and easily attach to the tent body
- Durable waterproof-coated polyester rip stop fly ensures minimal stretch and long-life UV protection
- Woven nylon mesh walls that provide 360-degree views and excellent ventilation
- Includes a clear plastic window in the vestibule door and handy mesh floor pockets for keeping up with the small stuff
- Comes complete with tent body, poles, fly, stakes and stuff sacks

This is a excellent tent - roomy sufficient even for Large Agnes. I love that I can turn over and even turn around and not have to slide in feet 1st. Also, since I typically travel off the beaten path and set up on uneven terrain, a enormous feature for me is the capacity to conform the tent to odd shaped footprints. The T-shaped pole set-up truly aids in both flexibility and comfort, and also the stakes are light and durable.

I'd just add 1 factor to this great tent. Bring along a clip or some thing to tie back the net door - an attached
tie or holding pocket would be an excellent addition. Would you mention that to Agnes next time you run into her on the trail?

With that little one-ounce addition, I've found this tent to be just the ticket for my solo forays into the deep woods.
