Anyone have experience with this tent?

Pros?
Cons?

CCS T Hexagon

Attached are links to two different trip reports that Uncle Moose wrote up where the tent was used.

Shell Lake

Clearwater Trip

There are only a few other BWCA Forum infrequent readers that have used the structure.

Thanks for the update Dan!

Have you had issues with small burn holes from burning embers landing on the tent?

The WT Hexagon looks like a great tent with ample floor space and headroom.

If you burn paper you will end up with holes in nylon tarps and tents. It lofts before it is done burning. I had no holes for 5 seasons, Then I loaned out and it came back with two significant burn holes. It all depends on the care you take in not burning paper and garbage in the stove.I have used a stove with a baffle all the time, as did friends who borrowed it without any holes. not sure what stove and what care was exercised by the person I will not borrow out any of my gear to again.

Some one recently asked me about our leans by a fire and this was my response. It is true for all nylon shelters.

Sparks. All materials will get a hole in them if the embers thermal mass has has enough energy to melt or char the material. Cotton Chars @308° F while nylon melts around 380°F, but because nylon is so much lighter it takes less thermal mass of an ember to reach that failure temperature. A nylon structure made by anyone will most likely get holes in them from a fire that is releasing flying embers. The lighter the nylon the more holes.

At the winter camping symposium I saw wood stoves in tents as small as a Eureka 4 man timberline.

Yes, two trips so far.

Honeymoon last year and a solo a month ago.

No cons, Pros....low mass and bulk, big headroom, bright inside shelter, and fast heat up time. No burn holes, running a baffled stove, flue damper, and 12'+ flue....no spark arrestor. no paper...I grew up operating woodstoves.
