Hi,
I am looking for a sub 2# freestanding 1 person tent. I live in the desert, & the ground is rock hard & sometimes impossible to get stakes in, thus the need for freestanding.
So I am looking for freestanding or else, the least amount of stakes needed (2-4 stakes?).
I'd "prefer" only using 1 hiking pole for set up, & 1 carbon fiber pole that the tent maker sells, if necessary, to replace the 2nd hiking pole, as I tend to basecamp, & dayhike around the area, & I'd like to have 1 pole for that.
I already own the:
1. Lightheart Solo (8 stakes). Light tent, really nice tent, but too many stakes.
2. Big Agnes Copper Spur 2P (heavy)
3. Golite Imogene UL2 (over 2#). There is no UL1.
4. REI Quarterdome 2P (really heavy)
5. REI Campdome 2 (really heavy)
I'd like a side opening one (thus not the Seedhouse).
I'd like it to be tall enough to sit in (I'm 5'9"), put my Zpacks Arc Blast in + 1 Labrador Retriever (he can squeeze in small spaces )
Optional: some kind of vestibule/ shade?
A Tarp wont work in the desert for me, there are too many scorpions & snakes to risk it.
Thanks if anyone knows here.
One of these days I am going to have a tent sale, lol
Thinking the only answer to this is Henry Shires 1P Rainbow?
Thanks in advance for any replies!
