From "Why A Modular Tent?"
Section: Summary
By modularising the tent, we get a protective shelter to get through the night and an indispensable quick shelter for short breaks in poor conditions during the day.
If you're after UL bragging rights, it's hard to beat some of the insanely ultralight tents currently available, but if you spend many days, weeks, even months trekking off the beaten path, spending nights on exposed peaks and rigdes or lodged into one of mother nature's nooks or crannies, the sheer flexibility of a modular shelter for Scramble at least, is one for the long haul.
