Tent weight

[SilkOnTheDrySide]

I have an SL5 which I think runs around 30 oz in the floorless arrangement and trekking pole.

I also run a Z packs hexamid solo plus which weighs in at 8 oz.  It's a decent little shelter, new stakes are going to be happening though.  I'm also 6'2".

Thank you everyone for your help. I have a bead on a used Big Agnes Fly Creek UL2 tent. Looks good in the photos and the price is within my budget.

If you are 6'2", don't expect to fit 2 people in a 2-person.  I've used one and it's tight for me and my wife.  It's a great quality tent, just not reasonable assessed as a 2-person tent.  It makes an awesome 1 man tent though.

Ever considered making your own tent?  I made my own tarptent with bug netting and I'm quite happy with it.  Fits two people at 1.5 lbs including ground sheet.

Just me myself and I need to fit in the tent.

The Tarptent Double Rainbow is a lot of tent at just over 2.5# and under $300. At 6'3" it fit me fine with double vestibules and side entry.

Here is a decent tent. Good price. Camofire.com
Hurry it will run out soon!

I use the Big Agnes Fly Creek UL3.  Plenty of room for two guys plus gear plus rifles/bows.  The 90" length is nice, and more than enough length for my friend who is 6'2".  Only 3lbs.  The UL2 is lighter, but is 4" shorter at 86", although should still work.  Would likely have to keep gear outside if having two people in tent.

Utilize the big stores for their displays then hit online for deals that can be found on Steepandcheap.com or Backcountry.com.  MSR makes some nice light 2-man tents, might find one used too.

What's wrong with no floor?

I'm hoping I don't find out. I just went floorless.

I've run 3 separate tents now between Scott and I, all floor less. Love them, would never consider a tent with a floor for normal hunting season in this state.

Not too concerned about it. I got an SL3 and it has a floor if I want to add it. I might if the wife and/or kid join me at some point.
My last tent has a floor and I've got no complaints with that either. At just over 3 pounds, it was plenty light enough and comfortable. I guess the only PITA would be trying to keep the floor clean. I still have it and will probably use it from time to time based on where I'm camping.

As long as you want to stay light weight and don't mind no floor why not just take a tarp say 9 x 12 if you want a floor then stake it different /_\ wala you have a floor
