Hey Andrew, I bit the bullet and ordered one when they posted up more stock, too... Ideally I'd've wait for a bit more field testing and possible design tweaks, but also wanted to beat the changes to import threshold for gst.Andrew wrote:Hi,
Have ordered the new Tarptent Notch Li due in 10 days or so.
$US 599 + $US 20 for partial solid inner + $US 53 postage = $A 893 on my Amex card.
Hoping it is ideal for 1000km Bibbulmun Track e2e then for future trips.
Will be about 600 grams with the partial solid inner I reckon.
Looks fairly tight inside tent for gear but has two doors and two vestibules so should be easy to organise.
My wife is coming on the Bibbulmun e2e so plan is to take our Tarptent Bowfin 1 as well.
Mostly we will be at 3 sided shelters so tents will be just for sleeping.
( if one of us quits or has a week off with injury there will be no weight issues with the other continuing).
Also gives us some flexibility for the future as my wife is into horses and usually just comes on epic trips so we/I will have the choice of Hilleberg Allak 2, Hilleberg Soulo 1, Bowfin 1 or Notch Ti 1 depending on the Tassie forecast and trip length
Cheers,
Andrew

Yeah - can't say I'll be relying on the supplied pegs much. Maybe I'll take them on hut/tent platform walks like the OT where the shelter is just for emergencies - but then, in an emergency do you want your pegs popping out?Franco wrote:I am not a fan of short pegs .
Nor of pegs popping out. Maybe the two are related.
Andrew wrote:Hi Turfa,
Did you use a footprint on your 50 days?
Do you have the Dyneema floor?
How did the floor wear?
We have to decide if we will take footprints on the Bibbulmun - we have Tyvek ones.
Cheers,
Andrew

Lamont wrote:How about some recent updates on use you lot and any other Notch Li owners out there that haven't posted their thoughts. There seems to be more owners of this shelter here than anywhere in the world. Its been nearly a year since it came out. Such as -Thoughts on ease of use, set up, removing struts, replacing struts, ease of ingress, egress, windworthiness, durabilty, the little door clip, magnets.
