It breaks my heart, this is my favorite tent EVER! & I know there will probably not be many buyers on HF, but I must try, so will start here.
So, if you or a friend needs a great solo tent, weighing in at 2 Lbs, this is the tent for you!
What: 1999 Nomad tent made by Wanderlust gear. All Sil nylon with a bug net door & window. The Nomad also has a small vestibule (more of an awning actually) that is adjustable according to weather conditions; You can leave it open by just throwing the awning over the tent, or by rolling it up & tying in place with the included mitten hook. Or fully extend & stake it out using one 2 piece pole (included) & a tent stake (not included), in moderately poor weather, you can partially close the awning, or in severe weather (almost) fully close up. The Nomad is low & has no flat surfaces facing the wind, as it is a modified Pyramid shape. The Nomad can be set up in as small a space as 10' X 3.5' so needs minimal space, & at 5' 7" I can sit up inside the tent. all 4 poles are made of aircraft aluminum.
The body of the tent is gray sil nylon, with the floor being black sil nylon. The floor also has small beads of silicon to reduce sliding on the floor. Per the Manufacturer, the black color makes for faster drying.
The 1" PVC elbow is painted orange as it sometimes falls out when packing or unpacking, & after a few times having issues finding it, I painted it orange. Problem solved!
Pic #1: is the head end, inside spreader bar, it gives a bit more head room, there is an identical one at the foot end.
Pic #2: is the elbow that you put the tips of your adjustable hiking poles in as the main supports.
Pic #3: Is the Nomad set up for a nice day, so you can look at the stars. I always set up with the awning fully deployed, then lay the support pole down & tossed the awning over the tent.
Pic #4: Outside view of the head end spreader bar.
Pic #5: The awning fully deployed.
Pic #6: I used to find a small rock when I camped to put under the awning support, then I started to carry a Coke bottle top, this usually kept the pole from sinking into the ground, usually.
Pic #7: Awning rigged for storm conditions.
Pic #8: Mitten hook & loop adjustment for rigging the awning for storms.
Pic #9: The 4 aluminum poles, included.
Note, the spreader bars can be left out thereby allowing for a lower weight. Each spreader bar weighs in at 1/4 oz
The Nomad was very lovingly used for about 30 nights.
I am asking $100.00 plus shipping. Stuff sack (lost to a heavy wind) & 3 tent stakes not included. Package includes: Nomad tent, 1" PVC elbow, 4 aluminum poles & a 2.5' piece of climbers accessory cord.
