I saw that the BA Copper Spur UL2 will be going on sale for $300 at REI in a week. I have heard great things about this free stranding palace. I would just be using it for me on my 2015 thru hike. I know Ultralite is all the rave, peeps sleep under rain coats and forage for berries so they don't have to carry a tent and a granola bar (I kid) Personally I think I might like this roomy shelter. Packaged weight is 3lbs 2oz. I dig the idea of free standing, two entrances (incase a zipper fails) 2 vestibules and side entrance. I think maybe if the FLy Creek ul2 was also going on sale this might be a tougher decision. I'm 6'2 230lbs. Anyone use the copperspur ul2 for a solo PCT thru hike or am I insane to carry this big shelter? -Harry Hood
