Backpacking tents
If you want complete freedom to carry your tent where
you want, by yourself, then a single-pole design is an
excellent option. This tent weighs just under 4 lbs
(1.8 kg), a managable weight for a solo hiker
or cyclist, and can fit two people in
reasonable comfort. These are summer
tents, however, and are not as
stable in a crosswind.
Guy points
Because of the single-
pole design, the rainfly
has to be staked out for
the tent to be stable.
