With slim pegging tabs and a central top loop, the tent can be rigged in 2 ways - either suspended from a branch/overhead point using guy rope; or simply propped up from underneath using just 1 Hiking Pole (not included).

A square pyramid tent may be an inefficient design for one person because a sleeping mat length is rather wasted on the width of a tent for one. However, I seldom go adventuring alone. I like the fun and safety of the company of others and this leads to tent, stove, meal sharing and the list goes on. So pyramids come into their own by saving weight when travelling light on skis or walking boots with friends by sharing an already light tent (450g/person for two or 300g/person for three). Pyramid tarps and tents have a fairly large footprint, which can make it difficult to pitch in heavily forested terrain where you need to wedge them between trees. They also work best on flat and even ground, unlike a flat tarp, where you can pitch one side considerably higher than the other and still get a viable shelter. If the only ground you can set a pyramid on is uneven, you’re probably going to get some “wall sag” instead of a drum-tight pitch on the high side. This can reduce the amount of useable space you have inside, but is unlikely to have a serious functional impact. I have always made my tents so that they can be sealed down to the ground or snow by having a bell wall and a snow/bug skirt. This makes the tent warmer and stops the entry of spindrift in winter and bugs in summer.The steep walls of a pyramid tent are one of its key advantages. These walls help to shed wind, rain, and snow, making pyramid tents an excellent choice for camping in harsh weather conditions. The steep walls also create a spacious interior with plenty of headroom, adding to the comfort of the tent. With slim pegging tabs and a central top loop, the tent can be pitched in 2 ways - either suspended from a branch/overhead point using guy rope; or propped up from underneath using just 1 Hiking Pole.

Other designs with a fixed modality for setup didn't do as well in this category. Most require the need to sink stakes, which need to be in a specific place relative to the installed guy lines. Those with more adaptable systems have more tie-off points that you can add in. You can also make any tent more adaptable by bringing a little extra cordage to use when the terrain gets harder to hammer stakes into the ground.The DD Superlight Pyramid Tent can be used independently as a simple tipi style tent/tarp or combined with the Superlight Pyramid Mesh Tent for a 2 layer tipi style tent. Carrying Whether you are doing a short day walk or you are looking to do a longer expedition for a few days, the load carrying kit that you use to transport all your other gear can be the difference between making it to the end and cutting your trip short.
