Opinions on best 1 man tent for backcountry

[180-GRAIN]

So I have seen the backcountry shelter post and could not find anything in there i was interested in. I was wondering what everyones opinion is for the best all around tent in the backcountry is for just 1 man. Looking for lite durable of course and weather resistant. It would also be nice to have a little storage space in it. Going to hike in with a buddy next weekend for a couple days on a bear hunt so I need to get something ordered asap.

The Golite Shangra-la 3 is a palace for one man. I love mine. You can get them right now for $250 from Golite. Most of the 1 man shelters I have used are too small for me and my gear. The SL3 only weighs in at around 4 lbs. total, and you have the option of leaving the nest and going floorless for half the weight.

I picked up the cabelas 1 man Hunter Bivouac tent and i like it, actaully has enough space for me my gear and my 80lb lab in it, the bottom has a pretty light duty waterproof layer so I have been putting down a tarp as a ground cover, max weight it like 3 1/2 pounds so it works for me, have yet to test it in the rain though.... but it looks like it would be fine by its self but i'll be bringing a cover tarp just in case on the high hunt this year

I have a decades old Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight 2 Tent.  3 lb 15 oz.  Nice rain Fly and vestibule.  They call it a two man tent, but it is really a roomy one man with room for gear.  Super easy to set up too!

Big ag fly creek ul is super light if you want a one man plus room for storage then you want a two man. I believe the 2 man in the fly creek is just over 2 lbs

If that's your budget, I would go with either the Kifaru Supertarp plus annex, or the Golite SL3.

I just pack a tarp and cut poles... Cheap, light and if you get holes in it from your fire oh well.. I have been doin this for years

That supertarp would be great if it had a floor. what do you use for that? I am going to hunt in the henry m jackson and the last couple years its been wet. I really want to be comfortable and have a place to dry out.

Tarpent is also an option. I believe they are even made in Seattle. Check out the moment or scarp

I really don't get all these no floor tents, it rains too much here or snows. For myself, I'd only want a tent with a poly floor. I've been out too many times & had water running down the slope, under my tent.  Ya sure,  they say place it well, but theres not always an ideal place in sight. I can handle carrying the extra 2 pounds to stay dry.
