    While very similar in appearance, shrimp and prawns are two distinct species. Prawns tend to be larger than shrimp, and often taste sweeter. There are more varieties of shrimp, too. Both animals have 10 legs, but prawns have pincers on three pairs of legs, while shrimp just have one clawed duo.

    Just said f it and ordered an SEI Edition with a BIG early Black Friday discount AND your coupon code for $1,895 total! So stoked to go on camping trips! Great content as always, much love from Texas!
    Update 2/26/2024: FINALLY installed this tent on my 2021 F-150 SuperCab with a set of 5” height Billie Bars. Even had enough room to scoot it over slightly toward the passenger side and install a bike mount on the driver side. Can’t wait to take it out for a maiden voyage mountain bike camping trip. I’ll also be using it to camp at Kalash Bash in April. So excited!

    I know you’re not using it, but any insight on the ladder design? Does it have the section at the top that allows for angling the top attachment portion to offset the ladder away from the tent for more clearance like I see on the Aspen model?

Any gotchas on installing on the Yak rack that you are aware of? Can i shunt the box forward a few inches off center to get even with rear of topper? Can the ladder be installed on the rear door edge with the ladder resting on open tailgate? Thx!

    When I called FSR they said they were prototyping crossbars. Let us know if you hear anything. I'm not trying to put a bunch of weight up there, but I definitely need the ability to mount a solar panel on top.

    • @TalonSei
      @TalonSei  Рік тому +1

      They do have prototypes for testing but we still don’t know if they will be good enough to offer. If they are they will be for a relatively light weight load.

      @gabrielcheung1037 Рік тому

      I asked fsr the same question, they told me the aspen lite is not capable of holding a solar panel on top and that the tent is not designed to open with weight on top. Solar panel for me is a must so I am not buying this tent. (Hint FSR, make it happen)

      @@TalonSei I saw your video on the wind storm on way to overland expo in AZ. What do you think was the wind gusts speeds? Also do the panels flap much? Appeared to be minimal. One thing I couldn't stand on prior tents was "loose fabric" and the awning/pole attachments with wind noise they created. Granted that wind storm was extreme you seemed to be in but seemed to hold up well. I plan on putting in a sleeping bag, ladder, and some pillows for storage in the tent.
