Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a one man tent for my first 'serious' solo hike. I'd say I'm between intermediate and novice in experience. I've just had a week camping and hiking with two friends in the (freezing cold!) Scottish highlands, before that I did a few Duke of Edinburgh hikes in school (bronze and silver).
I going to be hiking for a month along the AT through Virginia this summer, the exact dates are yet to be decided. I'll be hiking solo for most of it probably, but some friends may join me for a few days here and there.
My research is pointing me to get a Henry Sheine Tarp Tent, but I am not sure which one is best for me. I'm trying to decide between a:
Sublite
Moment
Contrail
Scarp 1
I'm tall and skinny, about 6 foot 2, so fitting me and my gear is a concern. Price is also a concern, is there a reason I shouldn't just go for a cheap and lightweight Sublight?
Any advice here would be appreciated
