What tent should I get?
I just got elected Senior Patrol Leader of my scout troop. Thus far I've been able to get by without a tent but I figure I should probably get one now. I need a tent that's fairly lightweight for camping trips. Thankfully, we don't do too many long backing hikes(at most 4-7 miles), so it doesn't have to be feather weight. Does anyone know what percent of your pack the tent should weigh? I'm debating between this three person tent (some sites say it can hold four)
http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2781729 and this two person tent.
http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2781727 The three person weighs about ten pounds :0 but the two person weighs only three. However, it'd be nice to have extra room so I can have another scout in mine, since we don't have enough tents.
I have a gift card to Dick's, so I'd be nice if I could find one from there.
I just recently bought a tent from http://www.appytrails.com.
It will sleep up to 5 people and only weighs 1 pound 11 ounces. The man that owns the company is a scout leader in Tennessee. I have used the tent several times now and couldn't be more please with it.
When it comes to backpacking it doesn't matter how long or how short your hike is going to be. Weight matters. My previous tent was a Eureka that only weighed 5.5 pounds. Add this to everything else in my pack and the total weight was almost 50 pounds. After doing a shakedown on my pack i was able to bring the weight down to 25 pounds. I then bought my new tent shedding roughly 4 more pounds. my total pack weight is now 21 pounds.
check out the Appy Trails tent they have 2 models a 3 man and a 5 man. The 3 man is only a little over one pound.
