Sep 17, 2007 at 4:35 pm #1402566Wouldn't reducing the number of poles defeat the purpose of using this tent in the mountain conditions for which it was designed?
Sep 17, 2007 at 11:06 pm #1402603My Hilight has three poles, but for the mildest three seasons I leave the third pole behind. In winter when I'm carrying 15kg+ anyway I would not mind the weight.
Nov 14, 2007 at 5:31 am #1409010My trick for reducing pole weight with my BD Bibler Fitzroy is too reduce the number of poles. You do not always need all five poles. If on Denali or in Antarctica I will use all five. For a winter trip in the Rockies, where I will be primarily camping below treeline (limited wind) I use only two poles (the X). If there will be three people in the tent I will bring the third pole to create more room. This makes a very versatile tent that can be used in a variety of conditions and situations. The design of the Fitzroy is comparable to that of the Guiding Light and the same methodology would work.
