Wechsel Venture 1 Person Tent

Wechsel just make some great quality tents and the Venture series are great quality, free standing tents that are perfect for back packing and being on the move as they are lightweight without compromising quality. 

I know there are probably 20 other tents that "Look" the same out there and can be half the price but we don't do that at The Bushcraft Store. We have chosen Wechsel tents as they are just a step up in quality. This model, for example, will have high quality Aluminium poles not the cheaper resin fibre that breaks down with wear and UV and then snap when you're in the middle of nowhere. The materials used are just better quality all round so if you want a cheap disposable festival tent then best to shop elsewhere as this ain't it! 

One the easiest way to get your head around the Wechsel range, from my experience, is that the higher the price the lighter the materials used in construction. This, therefore makes the final product lighter to carry. Now, that doesn't mean they are less robust, they just use materials that are more expensive to make.  

The Venture 1 is a freestanding hybrid tent for one person - including a vestibule. Two aluminum hubs at the poles ensure high wind stability. The inner tent of the Venture 1 is set up first. The additional pole forms the vestibule, as soon as the fly sheet is stretched over it. For a very light weather protection, the fly sheet can be set up by using the Groundsheet. The inner tent is equipped with mosquito mesh in the doors as well as at the foot and head end.

Additional inner tent pockets ensure order and offer space for otherwise odds and ends. The packing size is handy and is ideal for Bike Packing with a packing size of 45 cm length, the tent fits well in a handlebar roll. Of course this means it is also ideal for wild and stealth camping.  

The rainproof pack sack can also be attached directly to the handlebar with straps. Moreover the pack sack is variable in length. By removing the poles, the length of the stuff sack is reduced to 30 cm. The poles can be stowed separately where they possibly fit better, e.g. in a frame bag
