So I'm on the alpine walking trail, wind is gusting to 65kmh and its started to rain, I find a spot to put up a tarp on the lee side of the ridge and think about something to eat.... I boil a pot and 5 minutes later I am indulging in hot cheesy mashed potatoes. Weve all had a meal that hits the spot and this one never misses! A staple in the pack on any hike for me.
I have been looking at this particular tent for over a year. Following an online review from one of my favourite YouTubers I was convinced and visited Past Outdoors to purchase the tent and the footprint. How surprised was I to have my Nemo sleeping mat, 60 litre Whippa pack and practically everything else I was carrying, fit inside the Moondance 1FN with plenty of space to spare. For a one person tent it has plenty of space and is a breeze to erect. The one piece pole system is brilliant and so easy to use. The tent packs down to a ridiculously small item. I am definitely a convert to Mont equipment and highly recommend the Moondance 1FN as an awesome piece of hiking kit.
Having never used a tent with a footprint I had underestimated the difference they make. The first time I used this was on a largely vegetation covered area however there were plenty of sticks and tree nuts. I was concerned that the floor may be compromised however the footprint worked like a charm.
I bought this along with the Hardside Hydration system and absolutely love it. So much easier to keep clean than a bladder, and I don’t have to stress about it breaking in my backpack.
I bought the pants to my first cold weather hike to Cradle Mt, they were great. Comfortable and warm!
They were also the pants I wore when I proposed to my now Fiancé! So they get some extra sentimental points.
