TarpTent.com. Stratospire 1 or 2. Part solid inner tent body. When insects aren’t a problem use the fly alone.
Ditto this. Tarptents are very common on the long trails. Freestanding tents need to be staked solidly anyway, sometimes with supplemental guys in higher winds. Ask my friend who had to fish his out of a tree, downslope of our campsite, where it was impaled by a branch.
