Overlanders tend to be maximalists when it comes to tents. If you’re looking to save weight or space in your vehicle, motorcycle, or bike packing setup, you should definitely check out the new Scout 1 Platinum from our friends at Big Agnes.
This single-walled tent is lighter than one pound and relies on trekking poles or Big Agnes’ Accessory Backpacking Poles for setup. When every ounce counts, this shelter from their “Crazylight” Series delivers a minimalist waterproof living space that will keep you out of the elements. The Scout 1 Platinum retails for $3,49.95.
