On the AT, I mainly backpack alone and prefer to sleep in shelters. For a few days a year, my husband joins me, and we focus on staying in shelters or hostels; however, that might not always be possible. For this reason, I want to get a 1+ tent that will shelter us both if needed - in a "squeeze." My old Rainbow tarptent could have done this, but it is now beyond its lifetime...

Note: in flatlander Michigan, we have a two-person tent that serves us well on the Northcountry trail. However, I want something lighter weight for the times that it is just me lugging it up the mountains on the AT.

Suggestions?

I heard the new Tarptent is cool.. Others???? (looking for a combination of weight savings, performance and durability).

Thanks!

Is the Duplex our answer? Or is there another 1+ tent?
