    I really like my TarpTent Rainbow, but I would only consider it "ultralight" in comparison to my previous tent (~ 5 lbs).

    If you really want ultralite, there are plenty of options around 16 oz.

    Here is an awesome document put together by John Abela of hikelighter.com.

    I just sold my hammock. I get a much better sleep on the ground. Could never get comfortable in that sling. Going back to the ground.

    SMD Wild Oasis for past several years. Also have a Gossamer Gear The One for when more bug protection demands it. Considering a Zpacks Hexamid Solo tarp. Would save about 8 oz over the Wild Oasis, but give up some bug protection and, from what I understand, it's less convenient getting in and out of.

    Wish I could see one in person before deciding to spend the bucks.

    Me, too. Very nice tent. Spacious. Good headroom for us tall folks.

    I am planning to upgrade to a TT DR from my mountain hardwear double wall tent. It's a great tent, but the added width and much 1.5 lbs saved from the DR would be much welcomed!

    MLD Duomid, it's a palace for one, super fast setup, reliable in any weather, pretty light at around 22 oz and very flexible for a multitude of conditions.

    My Six Moon Designs Skyscape X had been holding up great for the first month of my hike! I am the envy of many heavy tent hikers.
