I know this has been done but perhaps just not to death, not yet…
I am the very lucky recipient of an HMG Ultamid 2 for my birthday, an indulgence for sure. And I have to say that at 6'3 its a mid I think I'll finally keep & end all tent anxiety for a good while.
Except… I want an inner net for it, a half-inner please: wide inverted T door, no snaking into bed, as tall as my mid & 1/2 as wide & long.
my options from the usual suspects are:
1) HMG – rumors of a half inner in the works for their ultamids are confirmed & sure to fit perfectly but just not until 2016.
2. MLD – Solo XL – OK size ( would prefer more height & width… ) but then the usual 6 weeks to get (summer over…)
3) Serenity net tent – great price, available right now but looks & specs awfully small, narrow, tight etc.
4) BearPaw – heard both good and not so good things here on BPL about their quality control, so on the fence but likely a shorter turnaround than MLD.
5) Oookworks – once upon a time maybe but no more
6) Z packs – hexanet. Light, again concern about size although on paper seems ok. But one tall folk review doesn't agree. Also long wait list for delivery.
7) HMG – inter-mesh, no floor, available now. and this would suit me just fine except i'm here in the the North East & a friend got lyme disease and so I am thinking about ticks. Not bugs mind you, I grew up in Texas picking big ole ticks off my dog and myself all summer long…just little teeny lymish deer ticks have me phobic; but open to be convinced otherwise. maybe a bathtub floor with permethrin along the sides & anti-tick runes scribbled about.
Other ideas? Thanks!
