Blacktail 3 & Hotel Footprint

I was able to set up the Fast Fly configuration in about 5 minutes without the tent body, and the footprint itself feels sturdy enough to handle a few rocky campsites.

I wasn’t sure I’d use the footprint much, but the Fast Fly option is actually a game-changer—set up in under five minutes without the tent body. The material feels durable enough to handle rocky ground, and it packs down small enough to forget it’s in my bag.

The cutouts for the poles match perfectly, so setting up the Fast Fly option takes under a minute. I’ve been using it on rocky ground and the floor still looks brand new.
