Hello all,
This is my first post so please bear with me.
I have been looking at the new Big Agnes tents and really like the Angel Spring line. My question is, I am looking for a UL tent that my son and I can use for backpacking and car camping but is also light & small enough that I can also use it on solo backpacking trips. Below are the specs of the 2 & 3 person variations. BA only list a 6oz difference in weight between the two tents but the 3 person gives an additional 11sq ft! From what I have read most any 2 person tents are tight if not uncomfortable for 2 people. Normally a good rule of thumb is a 2 person tent makes a good roomy 1 person tent and a 3 person tent makes a roomy 2 person tent. So with that in mind I am leaning towards the UL3 @ 3lb.6oz and nearly identical pack size. I think with custom stuff sacks, trimmed guidelines & UL tent stakes I could get this close to 3lb. 3lb doesn't seem bad for even a solo tent let alone a 3 person. Can anyone give me any pointers as to any disadvantages to going with a larger tent for solo backpacking? Or any other thoughts you might have with this setup.
Thanks in advance for any help.
