How much does your 2 person tent weighView Messages“My SD Orion weighs in at 4'11", 33 sq. ft., FS. I could stand to lose a pound or two, but 20 sq. ft. is a little cramped, isn't it?” 9:35:28 PM 1/23/02 tents “TNF "SlickRock" 4.5 lbs (3 season), Mountain Hardware "Night Shade" 6.8 lbs with 20 aluminum stakes (4 season convertable), one never know when the west wind will blow.” 12:13:53 AM 1/24/02 “When hiking with friends which weighs more: all the individual tents or one large tent? It may be less of a total load for the group for one person to carry a large tent than everyone carrying a single. Of course, it you can't stand the snoring or smell the extra weight is worth it.” 12:53:46 AM 1/24/02 Mine's way too heavy “My Eureka Timberline Outfitter is great for what it is. But, dant, it's heavy. 12 pounds or so for tent, fly, & vestibule. Arriving Monday to ME: Hennessy Hammock Safari Ultralite, 2.5 pounds!” 5:40:19 AM 1/24/02 “12' x 12' Kelty "Noah's Tarp" with a Walrus Mesh Tent Insert Ropes and stakes 4 lbs.” 12:24:49 PM 1/24/02 “Walrus Trekker Tarp w/Mesh Insert - 5.5 pounds. With me in it.... 230.5 lbs.” 4:57:55 PM 1/24/02 OneOfThese'llWorkForJustAboutANYSituation “Sierra Designs Omega CD 3-4 Season Convertible About 6.5lbs with *everything*, and has about 36 sqft floorspace and 11 sqft in the vestiblue. Walrus Trekker Tarp About 3lbs, with about 100sqft coverage.” 7:17:21 PM 1/24/02 “Budda, Loose the Walrus Trekker Tarp and pick up a 12x12 Kelty or 10x12 sil tarp. My 12x12 is 144 sq.ft. of coverage. Good for sleeping and cooking and gettin' out of the rain. (Only 1 lb. 15 oz.)” 11:05:24 AM 1/25/02 Hmmmmm...What To Do...What To Do “Yeah Mr.budda...spend another $60-$90 to loose a few more pounds off your back. With your size and weight you could stand to loose a couple'a pounds...OR save your money and loose a few pounds off yer belly...OR maybe, just maybe, with your size and stature, a few pounds is negligable.” 11:13:58 AM 1/25/02 “I was thinking maybe you need the extra space.” 11:16:06 AM 1/25/02
