Tent weight
Rider:
Point well taken on the box stores. Being 6'2" I like to crawl into the tent or sleeping bag I am buying before I buy it just to make sure it's going to work.
Perhaps I am looking at this from the wrong perspective. I have been limiting my search to a 2p tent which increases weight but does give me extra space to store my gear. Would a 1p tent suffice?
jackelope:
Check Sierra trading post for deals. I have a 5# 2 man tent and a 3# 2 man tent. There is a difference in both size and weight. I think that mountainsmith that bmcox mentioned is a smoking deal.
Sliverslinger:
I take a 3p tent for me and my buddy. I highly recommend the Rock 32 from north face. That thing is bulletproof and I was blown away by how truly waterproof it was last year. We came back to literally 3 inches of stand water around and under our tent and we spent the next 16 hours in it and stayed bone dry. The best part is it comes in at 5lbs 15oz I think, with 2vestibules and long enough for a 6'4 guy like me. Split between 2 people it's less than 3 pounds a person.

just bought a Kifaru 4 person tipi (more like a two person tent ) 5.5 pounds. If it's cold out the second guy can cary the wood stove ( under two pounds ). If is warm just leave it at home.t'll try it out in july scouting trip. I wanted to go lighter then that but I will be using it in Oct and Nov. Stove will come in handy. will have to get use to not having a floor.
Rider:
Not having a floor in a climate where it rains seems problematic. Not having a floor when it snows doesn't seem to be a good idea.
