[Sold]
Posted: Fri 30 Aug, 2019 12:05 pmAs much as it pains me, I am selling my custom Australian Made Terra Rosa mid.
I really love using this shelter as it is so versatile and light.
I bought this off a forum member a couple of years ago and it is my go-to shelter but now that I use two walking poles and have an X-Mid tent this is somewhat niche for me now.
The previous owner, who commissioned the shelter, had not used it in anger and it is still in great condition - like new. The previous owner wanted a tent shelter somewhat like the SMD deschutes and this is what it resembles.
It is quick to erect and pretty foolproof really with a bit of practice. You can suspend an inner in it but I have always used a bug bivvy for splash and mozzy resistance.
I have generally used it in hot weather, where it excels, but it has sat out a couple of storms and the front 'beak' and sides can be cinched close to the ground. The mid design is very wind resistant.
I am 175 cm and have no trouble fitting under with a modern fat mat, quilt and bivvy. In my opinion, if you are pushing 6ft you would need to use the panel pulls or sleep with head towards beak.
