Went with the 2 person tent over the 1 person and my back is grateful
Last spring I was picking between a 1 person tent at 3 pounds and a 2 person at 5, and I went with the bigger one for a 3 night trip near Bend. The extra 2 pounds felt wrong in the store, but being able to sit up straight and keep my pack inside when it rained for 9 hours straight made it a no brainer. My buddy in the 1 person tent was basically stuck in a wet tube. If you are over 5 foot 10, stop kidding yourself about saving weight on solo tents. Anyone else pack a 2 person just for themselves?
