Jeff,
Can't really determine if 3lbs will make or break a ride not knowing
what other gear your carrying. But lighter usually makes for an easier
ride I've found. Todays tents are light years ahead of tents just 5
years ago. I have a number of great tents but the one that I've been
using for the la
Big Agnes Fly Creek or Seedhouse are great tents
Cheers,

tent, its a older model, I think I scooped mine on the bay for under
$120, and the price tag said $249.00. Its a two person and quite a
bit of room and it weig
I use the 3 person Tarp Tent. It weighs 32oz, packs petty small, and
does the job. A lb here a lb there and pretty soon it adds up to real
heavy.

I am the one who posted about the Megamid in the previous post. It is
a great tent and incredibly versatile, but I wouldn't want it as my
only tent. I much prefer a traditional, double wall (separate tent and
rain fly), free-standing tent as my "go-to". If you get the footprint
there are lots of pi
Thank you all for the good information, and for pointing me to that
older post on tents. I really like the idea of the tarp tents and the
hammocks. I live in Nova Scotia -- the ground is rocky and the weather
is very unstable and gets nasty quickly...and cold. So I think the

Oh, me, call on me! One full 22oz water bottle weighs about 3 pounds.
That puts 3 pounds in perspective. Or makes you want to carry less
water...

While by no means an expert, I've used the Marmot Aura 2P tent and the
Marmot Aeros 3P tent in my two S24Os this year. 2 people and 3 people
