Rocket XL Tarp Wood Stove Shelter PROS And CONS
The ultra-light rocket XL firewood stove shelter was designed with tall campers in mind. It can provide extra length (over 11 ‘), which is very suitable for strong tall people, and can definitely accommodate big long legs. After the tarpaulin of the side door is propped up with two struts, it can be used as a sunshade, with a fire chimney opening, and the tent firewood stove can be used in the shelter.
This tent is very suitable for backpacking camping. There are three main ways to build it: 1. 2. Pole storm mode; 2. Packing tarp style; 3. Between trees and ultra single pole set up – dots of variations. If you don’t use the tent firewood stove, the maximum space can accommodate two people. In fact, if you learn a variety of ways to build, this super light shelter can meet all the functions of three separate shelters.
