For budget-conscious or entry-level adventurers looking for a solidly made tent that won’t break the bank, the Spartan 2 from Explore Planet Earth fits the bill.
This nifty two person tent features a UV 50+ fire retardant fly with a 4000mm waterhead rating for weather protection, a colour-coded frame for a simple set up, two doors so that access is easy, no-see-um mesh for ventilation and insect protection plus two vestibules to stash your packs and boots – so it’ll have you covered on your motorcycle touring, bikepacking or hiking adventures.
In this video, our teammate Lauren gives you the full rundown on how to pitch and pack up the Spartan 2 Tent from Explore Planet Earth. Lauren starts out with the weight and packed dimensions and what you get with this tent. Then she shows you how to orient the tent properly, peg it out, set up the poles and thread them through, and attach the fly and peg it out.
After that, she shows you the process in reverse to demonstrate the pack down process while giving you some handy tips on how to do that in adverse conditions – so check it out above for all the details.
