Solo tent purchase
I am getting back into the backcountry after many years hiatis. I need advice on a superior 3-4 season solo tent. Must be light, of course, and have some room to manuver around. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

If money doesn't matter the Hilleberg Akto is tough to beat. It's $340, but weighs less than 3 pounds is well made and tough. If I was going to buy a 4 season solo tent, I won't buy any other.

i use a hilleberg akto. more than enough space to move around and a vestibule that will hold as much gear as you can carry. it weighs less than 3 pounds.

the hilleberg nallo 2 would be a great one person and two if necessary. it weighs less than 4 pounds.

on a less expensive note, some one here has a sierra designs lightyear for sale. they weigh around three pounds too but are really 4 season.

Sweet deal on the light year. sierra trading post has a killer deal on the ultra light year which is a lighter, upscale model. At only $208, I'm tempted(as if I need another tent).

I would be using the tent in Appalachian Mtns winter camping for the 4 season. Mostly 2-3k ft elevations and 20 degree weather.

Hmmmm.... That Integral Designs MK1 Single Wall looks suspiciously like a A>Bibler I-tent.

I have an Integral Designs MK1 Lite - great tent for us people under 6'. I'm thinking of buying an ID Sola bivy for summer when I don't spend such long nights in the tent.
