If you're serious about ultralight backpacking, these shelters are worth knowing. In this video, I go over three of the most unique ultralight shelters available right now — the Gearswifts DCF Poncho Tarp, the Ounce Designs Abode, and the Meadowphysics Adobi.

Each of these shelters weighs under 7 ounces, and they’re built by small, passionate cottage companies focused on true minimalist performance. I’ll cover the price, weight, dimensions, and materials for each, so you’ll have a clear sense of what makes them stand out in the world of lightweight tents and backpacking shelters.

Whether you're into minimalist camping, trekking, or just looking for new outdoor gear ideas, these ultralight designs offer some of the best options for cutting serious weight without giving up real protection.
