Hey, everyone! So, just recently I posted up my review of the, new for 2019, First Lite x Nemo Recurve 2P shelter. There is both a written version and video version that you can find HERE. I thought it might be cool to get an in the field view of this bad boy, so that is what we’re doing today. You’ll get to see what the shelter looks like when all packed up. Then I’ll show how the shelter is actually set up. From there, I point out some things that I really like about the shelter and some other things that I think could be improved. This shelter is a bomber little piece of gear that comes in just a shade under 2 pounds and has a ton of living space on the inside. It is a fantastic option for early to mid season hunting and I’ve been really liking it. If you have any questions, feel free to drop them down below.
After it’s all said and done, I am pretty stoked on this tent. I spent quite a bit of time in it hunting high county mule deer and had zero issues. I was a bit skeptical of the design at first. The Recurve is just different when compared to other shelters on the market. Today, I know that I can bring this tent in the field with confidence. To learn more head on over and check out the First Lite x Nemo Collection.
If you’ve followed my hunting journey for any amount of time, you probably know by now that I’m a big fan of First Lite clothing and Nemo Equipment. I’ve tried other stuff in the past, but these two companies have constantly impressed me and gave me confidence in the field. In tandem, they have been with me on more than a few adventures and in a multitude of different conditions. It isn’t often that two exceptional companies like this join forces. When I heard that First Lite and Nemo Equipment were going to team up on producing some high quality gear for backcountry hunting, I was ecstatic. Seeing the list of products they were releasing had me counting down the days until availability. I just knew the gear was going to be killer. An item that caught my eye immediately after looking at the specs was the Recurve 2p tent.
It seems every year that goes by, I am constantly searching for ways to lighten up my pack for the backcountry, and this year is no exception. One of the bigger items in our packs is going to be our shelter. I started out hauling around a 7 pound tent for hunts. After that, I moved to a 3 pound ultralight tent. There is still room for improvement though right? This had me considering some of the trekking pole style shelters. Going this route would eliminate the need for tent poles and free up even more room in my pack. I have been running a Nemo Hornet 2P shelter for a few years with no hiccups. When I saw that Nemo was coming out with an ultralight trekking pole style shelter that had a floor to it, I was immediately intrigued. Sooner than later, the Nemo Spike Storm 1P shelter was on my doorstep. I could not wait to get this thing in the field for testing.
Here is a brief overview of the tent I have been running on my backcountry adventures over the past year. It is the Nemo Hornet 2P backpacking tent. Super cool tent. Lightweight, durable, packable, and has a simple design. You can check it out at www.nemoequipment.com. If you have any questions, lets have them!
