My Dream Tent: A sub 2 pound 2 person single wall super breathable freestanding tent that has a decent sized vestibule and is burly enough to withstand 4 season abuse.

What is yours?

Same.

Word.






(with full bug protection, correct?)

But I'm not holding my breath. :-)

Stargazer

P.S. The four-season Tarptent Scarp 1 looks like it will fit two very friendly people, and it weighs in at 2 3/4 pounds.

Definitely bug protection...Its starting to sound like a wet dream hahaha.

No, no condensation!! :)

hahaha...thats awesome.

and sized for people over 5'10" please

I own my dream tent. It's called a Warbonnet Blackbird hammock.... ;-)

I'm a 6'1 chicken-nugget so it needs to be roomy.

"freestanding"

Maybe I'm missing something here, but the more firmly my tent is attached to terra firma, the happier I am. What's the big deal about freestanding?

I only dream about the perfect hammock, tents would be a nightmare! =P

Because a non-freestanding version semi exists.

Rog, sometimes we camp on snow. If the snow softens and the stakes pull out, then we have nothing. A tent that can stand on its own is a little better.

Oh No Bob. You shouldn't of said that...You just started a freestanding vs non-freestanding war :)

Thanks Bob, that makes sense. Easier than digging bags of snow in I guess. Must be a worry when the wind gets up.

"using wp/b fabric with the breathability of eVENT (or better), and weighing 2lbs:"
That is exactly the problem. I don't know of any fabric that "breathes" is waterproof and lighter than silnylon.
Does anyone ?

If it's already reality, then it wouldn't be a dream anymore, would it? :)
