teepee style tents

Golite SL-5 is 2 lbs 4 oz (without the nest) and you get a 9.5' by 9.5' foot print.  Even on a solo trip that's a ton of room for a mere 2lbs.  We've slept 3 comfortably and you could do one more without all the gear if you had to.  It's easy to sit up and move around in the morning while getting ready as well. No shaking out the tent or worrying about mud/dirt/pine needles when you have to pack up.  Just roll the thing up and stuff it in your pack.

You don't always need a pole in the middle.  My SL-5 has a loop in the top and it's as easy as putting a rope through and securing it.

I am looking to buy a SL5 if anyone has any leads on one....

My Cabelas Outback lodge is awesome.

the new seekoutside cimmaron appears to be everything the sl5 was and better

Thank you for those that have recommended the Seek outside Cimmaron.  I am exploring the Cimmaron & Beyond Timberline 2 most likely with the BT 2 nest.  Both would give dual entrance so that you aren't climbing over the hunting partner to go take a whizz.  other than height and slightly different foot prints, would anyone like to compare other differences that I may have overlooked between these 2?

Feel free to compare to the SL5 as a used SL5 is still the preference.
I like the nest and base set up better on the SL5, but I think these two options via Seek outside are probably built at a higher level and should last longer.

SL5 nest is heavy as F!
BT is more akin to the sl3 imo. awkward for taller guys or 2 people. i would think great for solo, under 6'. shuck wind better than almost anything.
sl5 tie down loops are the best, but easily accomplished with some cord and a tautline hitch.
