They'll love you for it. The packers I know around here, that are serious hunters (and not so serious cowboys) who have gone towards tents like this and taken an UL approach, are taking 3 horses for 2 guys.


I'm Irish...

Of course I know how to patch drywall

During our hike in for CO 1st rifle we ended up with much heavier snow than was forecast. About two miles from our destination in the dark, we were cold, wet and tired. Decided to stop and set up camp vice pushing on. Proved to be a great decision. There were three of us, and instead of setting up both tents I decided to set up the BCS and stove only. We dug some wood from the snow, cut some branches and within minutes of zipping it shut had warmth coming from our Ed T stove inside the BCS. Very cold, tired and wet and 5-6 miles from the truck turned into warm and cozy in no time. I will always have that stove with me from now on.

The next morning.

Kevin T, Can the BCS be converted into a BCS II? With two of us in the BCS, the two zipper set of of the BCS II would make getting in and out much more convenient.

Hi prm

I like the photo and am glad it worked well for you. We can't really do a BCS1 to BCS2 conversion. I suspect you could get someone to add an exit zipper on one side but results might vary. The dual exits are nice on the BCS2.
