We’ve asked our customers what they like about the airy Trekker Tent 2.2, and their top two responses were first, how easy it is to set up, and second, how well ventilated it is.

First, it is one of the easiest tents you could ever set up. It can be set up in under two minutes and can be set up with or without trekking poles. For the hiker in a hurry, this is the perfect option. You can get your tent set up quickly and have more time for fishing, hunting, or just relaxing.

Second, the large mesh sidewalls increase the ventilation in the tent, making it more comfortable to sit in and also reducing condensation. As compared to the Trekker Tent 2 and 2V, this tent is best for those wanting additional ventilation and don’t need the space provided by a vestibule.

Key Features

Some of the key features of the Trekker Tent 2.2 include the fact that it is a trekking pole tent, meaning that you may only need to check two poles (aka “hiking sticks”) before heading out for a camping trip.

However, even if you don’t have trekking poles, we like to say, “No poles, no problem!” Although it’s a trekking pole tent, we designed it so that it can easily be set up with two sticks off the ground, or you can tie it between two trees.

The tent weighs in at just 3 pounds, 2 ounces, which includes the eight tent stakes and the carry bag. By industry standards, this is a lightweight tent. It’s also pretty small. When it’s packed down, it’s just 10 inches by 6 inches around.

The stakes come rolled up in the center of the tent and the guy lines are already attached to the tent, so it’s ready for a quick setup.

The interior of the tent is 7 feet long by 5 feet wide and the front door has a 42-inch peak height.

All seams are taped and the fabric is waterproof PU-coated polyester. The floor is made of a heavy duty waterproof Oxford taffeta fabric, which is thick enough that you won’t need an additional ground cloth with this tent.

Inside the tent you’ll find a loop for hanging your gear or your flashlight and a personal items pocket and plenty of room for two people and their gear.

Easy Setup

The Trekker Tent 2.2 is our easiest tent to set up. First, find a flat area to lay your tent out in the direction that you want it to face. If you prefer to watch a video, just click on this link.

Like all of our trekking pole tents, start by sticking down the four corners of the tent. Pull the tent tight as you stake down the corners and make sure that the tent is not lopsided to one side or the other.

After you stake down the four corners, insert the front trekking pole tip facing up placing the carbide tip into the grommet with the handle down. Adjust the trekking pole height to the desired height and pull out the guy line and stake it down.

Do the same with the rear trekking pole. Now you can stake out the two side guy lines and that’s really all there is to setting up the Trekker Tent 2.2.

Tips and tricks

First, this tent can be set up easily without trekking poles. Just use two sticks off the ground. When using the stick method, just wrap the guy line around the stick once near the peak of the tent. Then stake the guy line to the ground, or you can tie the guy line to a branch or tree.

Second, all stakes should go in at a 30-degree angle toward the tent, forming a 90 degree angle with the guy line and the stake. This will help hold the stake in place.

If setting up on sandy ground, you may need snow or sand stakes which can be purchased separately. There are a few tips and tricks when setting up on softer ground, like putting a rock on top of the stake to hold it in place or a tree branch which can also mark where the guy lines are to make it easier to see and help avoid walking into the guidelines. If the tent is sagging in the middle, this is often because the trekking poles are overextended. Try lowering the trekking pole just a little and tightening the rear and front guy lines, and that should tighten the ridgeline of the tent.

This tent’s even easier to take down than to set up. All you have to do is pull out the stakes then put all the guy lines and all the upper tent material inside the tent and then fold the tent in on itself so that only the floor material is showing. Once you have it to about the size of the tent stake in width, roll the tent up around the tent stakes, and then tie it off and it should fit easily back into the bag that it came in.

And that’s all there is to know about the airy Trekker Tent 2.2, one of our most popular two-person trekking pole tents and our easiest tent to set up with its small pack size and the fact that it’s lightweight. This tent is perfect for your next outdoor adventure!

We’ve asked our customers what they enjoy about the roomy Trekker Tent 2V, and, like the Trekker Tent 1V the top three things were the removable rainfly, the large vestibule, and the large amount of ventilation.

First, everyone enjoys the removable rainfly because you have the option of sleeping under the stars on a warm summer night or protecting yourself from the elements when it’s not warm and dry.

Second, they love the large vestibule for storing all of their gear and because it makes it easier to sit or lay in the tent protected from the weather. As compared to the Trekker 2 and 2.2, the added vestibule on this tent makes it best for those hiking and camping with extra gear.

Third, it’s easy to enjoy the large amount of ventilation which helps reduce condensation, especially in this roomy two-person tent.

Key Features

Some of the key features of the Trekker Tent 2V is that it is a trekking pole tent, so it doesn’t have a complicated pole system. Also, the tent weighs in at just 3 lbs 6 oz, which includes the 8 tent stakes and the carry bag. This, by industry standards, is a lightweight tent. It’s also small. When packed, this tent packs down to just 10 inches long by 6 inches around.

The stakes come rolled up in the center of the tent and the guylines are already attached to the tent so it’s ready for a quick setup.

The interior of this roomy, two-person tent is 7 feet long by 6 feet in the front and 32” in the back with a 42” peak height. There’s about 34 square feet of floor space, plus 6 square feet in the oversized vestibule.

All seams are taped and the fabric is waterproof PU-coated polyester. The floor is made from a heavy-duty waterproof oxford taffeta fabric, which is thick enough that you won’t need an additional ground cloth with this tent. Inside the tent, you’ll find a loop for hanging your flashlight or other gear and a personal items pocket, and plenty of room for two people and your gear.

Easy Setup

First, find a flat area, and lay your tent out in the direction you want it to face. Click on this link if you prefer to watch a video.

Like all trekking pole tents, you’ll next start by staking down the four corners of the tent first. Pull the tent tight as you stake it down. Pull the tent tight and make sure that the tent is not lopsided in one direction or another.

After you stake down the four corners, insert the trekking pole into the front grommet, tip facing up, handle facing down. Adjust the trekking pole to the desired height and pull out the guyline and stake it down. Then tighten the guyline.

Do the same on the other side of the tent by adjusting the second trekking pole to the desired height, and pull out the guyline and stake it out. Then tighten the guyline.

Then, stake out the side guylines and you are ready to attach the rainfly. You may need to adjust the front stake position to get the rainfly vestibule tight. The front stake is intended to be used for both the front guyline and the rainfly vestibule. And that’s all there is to setting up the Trekker Tent 2V.

Tips and tricks

First, zip up all the doors. It’s easier to pull the tent and vestibule tight when the doors are secured. Then, insert the stakes at a 30-degree angle forming a 90-degree angle between the guyline and the tent stake. This will help hold the tent stake and the tent in place.

If setting up on sandy or snowy ground, you may need to purchase sand and snow stakes, which are made to hold in those settings. But there are some tricks you can use like setting a rock or tree branch on top of the stake to hold the stake in the ground.

Also, setting a rock or stick on top of the stake gives you a visible marker, making it easier to avoid walking into the guylines. If there is a significant wind, it’s best to set the tent up so the front is facing the wind. Because of the shape of the rainfly, if the wind is strong and coming from the rear of the tent, you’ll notice the wind a lot more inside the tent. If the tent is sagging in the middle, it’s often because the trekking poles are overextended. Try lowering the trekking poles a little bit and tightening the rear and front guylines and the front vestibule. That should tighten up the ridgeline of the tent.

Be careful with the carbide tips on the trekking poles because they are sharp and can rip the fabric on the tent. If you break or lose one of your trekking poles, this tent can easily be set up with a stick or the rear guyline can be tied to a tree.

This tent is even easier to take down then to set up. Just remove all the stakes, put the guylines and the rainfly on top of the tent, and fold the tent on top of itself, into thirds, to a width just wider than the stake bag. Roll the tent around the stake bag, and if you can find it, use the tie that came with the tent to tie around the rolled-up tent. After that, it should fit easily right back into the bag it came in.

That’s everything you need to know about the enjoyable Trekker Tent 2V, a lightweight, small-packed size two-person tent perfect for your next outdoor adventure!
