I'm looking for a lightweight, reasonably priced, user friendly, and durable tent for myself, my gear, and my dog. (Maybe even be able to squeeze in a second person in a pinch. I have a friend who's going to graduate school in Virginia and I'd love to be able to include her in some weekend hikes on the AT.)
Tarptents: I like the versatility of transitioning the tent for winter usage. I don't like how it looks. Seems unwieldy.

Six Moon Designs: I like the price and the weights. However... these tents would just be for myself and my dog.

LightHeart Gear: I love how they look... seem polished and not like they were made in someone's garage. But they're more expensive than SMD. The last one seems to have enough room for two people.

(Secondary question... I'm viewing this website on my phone. After posting all these links I realized I might need to manually imbed them for the people who are viewing this site from desktops. What's the code?)
Thanks!
