Background

Purchased this used tent two seasons ago from a member on the forum but I haven't used it for more than one trip, so it's time to send it along to its next owner. It's a classic and I can see why they've made this design for so long. It's strong, easy to set up, light, and breathes away condensation well.

Condition

  • When it arrived I noticed that the tent smelled bad and the floor had delaminated. I stripped the floor and reapplied seam seal. As a result, the floor feels a bit tacky, but it's very, very waterproof.
  • Some of the seam seal got onto the bottom of the floor. It just looks ugly, it doesn't ruin any performance.
  • There are ~5 patched holes on this tent. Patches are pictures and are mostly pinholes.
  • Discoloration on the tent body.
  • Poles are in good condition with very strong shock cord
  • No guy lines or stakes
  • All in all, it's coming in pre-loved condition, but still works great.

Cost

Asking $150 plus actual shipping cost. Shipping should be about $20 unless you'd need it quicker. I'll handle the fees on PayPal, otherwise Venmo or Zelle work too. Shipping (or pickup) from Southern Oregon.

FYI Black Diamond recommends cleaning the BD/BIBLER ToddTex tents every couple years with a product called GEAR AID Revivex Odor Eliminator (previously Mirazyme; gearaid.com/products/revive…). I just found out about this and ordered some for my tent (I don't recall ever seeing this mentioned in their care instructions so am passing this on to you/new owner). ToddTex is a fantastic single wall tent fabric ... I love my BD Ahwahnee (and the Bibler version before that).

BUMP.

BD is reallllllyyyy light on the instructions for some reason. Thanks for the tip. I think most things Gear Aid work really well.
