LANSHAN KILLERS? Featherstone & Outdoor Vitals Trekking Pole Tents

For years the budget trekking pole tent market has been dominated by the Chinese knockoff “Lanshan 2” trekking pole tent. But some American companies are stepping up to challenge the Lanshan’s reign – even at the Lanshan’s price point. Here I go over the Featherstone Backbone and Outdoor Vitals Fortius 2-person trekking pole tents. These are both “pro” type single wall tents that run between about $200-$300 – and while their similarities won’t likely come as a surprise, their differences might!
