[QUOTE="Montana'eer, post: 2993727, member: 113417"] Sorry late to this one. I have two really good tents. I bought a North Face Aerohead 4 season tent new 30 years ago. It's a little on the heavy side but normally it was split between 2 people. Tight fit for two but the thing is really awesome. Spent my share of blizzard nights in it. It has a vestibule that is just large enough to use an appropriate stove to cook. Also enough room to store boots and other wet gear but not a couple of packs. Comes in under 9 lbs.
