You may order either interior at a later date, or the “Both” option means that are ordering the fly and two interiors. The solid interior (which has half solid half mesh walls and a solid roof) blocks horizontally blowing wind, sand, snow, and rain; some say it makes the tent up to 10 degrees F warmer. The mesh interior is about 4.5 oz (128 g) less than listed weight.

Can the Scarp 2 really fit three people?

The floor of the Scarp 1 accommodates three 3/4 length sleeping pads (48 in x 20 in / 122 cm x 51 cm) in a pinch. Check out photo above to see it in action.

Are there any additional pullout points for extra staking?

I wanted to send you all a picture of our Scarp 2 setup on Steamroller Pass overlooking the Clear Glacier. It is far and away the best tent I have ever owned. It is lightning fast to set up, very comfortable and feels secure in the wind. Unfortunately it’s a little crowded for two people and two 70lbs dogs (Before I was married I thought dogs could sleep in the vestibules. I have been corrected). So We’ll be looking forward to that Hogback you’re sending to Anchorage.

Thank you for making such a great product in the USA.

I just wanted you to know I took my tent out, for its first time, over the weekend. It worked fantastic! I was never hot, nor did I have inadequate air in the tent, nor did I have condensation. It rained and poured a good chunk of the weekend and had gusts of wind up to 50mph at times. We were camping on a hilltop of a forest line (360 view). The hill got almost a cloud-like fog. You could wave your hand in front of your and it would get totally covered in mist. The temp was 30s-low 40s until Sunday and we got to mid 70s and sunny…that’s Ohio for ya.

My tent was dry and a great sanctuary from the elements when it came time to rest. Just what I was looking for. Plenty of room in my Scarp 2 for a 6’2" 285lb man and all of my gear. Also, my friends were envious of the fact I could flip my tent, air it out and then fold it down into my backpack in short order. I was packed ahead of everyone and used the extra time to them tear down.

You have a great product, and I love that it’s made right here in good old USA. May your company grow leaps and bounds.
