This Tetragon NX 5 is the largest of the tents in this series which should not be mixed with yet another with a similar name, the Eureka Tetragon HD Tents. The picture below shows the tent so you realize this is a very simple dome construction supported by two X-crossed poles. The tent is freestanding and this holds even when its minimal-coverage fly is on. Eureka Tetragon NX 5 Tent shown without the fly. There is one door here and it is with a window on the upper section where you have a mesh and a zippered panel. The tent is quite tall for its overall size, the peak height is 6 ft (183 cm). You have a carry bag included and below you can see how it looks, the size is (L x D) 27 x 6.5 inches (69 x 17 cm). This is how the tent looks in its carry bag. The poles: You have the two main poles mentioned above with a diameter of 11 mm. But there are also two cross poles that are added to create a small awning above the door, their diameter is 9.5 mm. This is all fiberglass, not so durable material, but it is commonly used in such budget tents. The pole attachment to the tent o canopy is through clips, and through the pin-and-ring system in the corners. There are also Velcro loops to attach the fly poles to the frame. The fabric: The tent’s body, the fly, and the floor are all 63D 190T polyester taffeta with a 1500 mm rating, and a 40D polyester no-see-um mesh. So these are moderately durable materials and the waterproof rating is good enough. Note that there are only 4 clips to secure the tent to the ground. Ventilationįrom the picture above that shows the tent without the fly you can see that canopy is with lots of mesh for ventilation. The fly is minimal and the awning on the front allows for the air and vapor to escape easily, so there is no need for roof vents. But there are no floor vents here and this is necessary when you keep the door closed. has violated its DRIPA obligation to ensure mineral claim laws respect the right to Free, Prior and Informed consent.Ī win would quash the challenged mineral claims on Lax k’naga/ Banks Island, and could trigger a review of the Mineral Tenure Act to bring B.C.’s mineral tenure regime into compliance with UNDRIP (the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples) which was adopted into law by the province of British Columbia in 2019.Please see a bit more about this new series in this short video:Ĭapacity-wise, the tent is officially for 5 people, and for this, you have 81 ft² (7.5 m²) of the floor area. The Gitxaała legal challenge will be the first time that an Indigenous Nation seeks a remedy under B.C.’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) in a court case. This deeply disrespectful practice negatively impacts Gitxaała’s right to govern its own territories, giving mining companies the right to access the land for mineral exploration without any consultation with Gitxaała Nation. unilaterally decides what areas of Gitxaała territory are open to mineral exploration and unilaterally gives away rights to minerals on Gitxaała land to other parties. Under the current mineral tenure regime, B.C. government continues to allow companies and individuals to stake mining claims on Banks Island through its Mineral Titles Online Registry with only a click of a mouse and a small fee. As a result, the Gitxaała have called for an end to mining activities on Banks Island. The company quickly went bankrupt and the mess was left to Gitxaała. In 2015, an illegal discharge of tailings from the Yellow Giant gold mine - a project that Gitxaała said from the beginning they did not want - devastated Banks Island’s salmon-rich creeks and near-shore areas.
