version  with two 
side (not end) doors.
---------------------------------
I agree that the HiLight is a great  tent, except for not having two doors.  
 
I have always felt the two door  Ahwahnee tent was fantastic, except for the 
tent weight.  I remember years  ago seeing an Ahwahnee at Wilson Sports in 
Bishop, CA.  It was really a  great looking tent.  It is one of those shelters 
that you feel you could  hike forever with and be happy.  Not many of those 
around.  I get all  mushy when I talk about the Ahwahnee.
 
Of course, I would want an all netting 360 degree view version of it and at  
a super cuben light weight.  :-)

PS: My Bionic Hydration Integration supplies have arrived and I will soon  be 
in the experimentation phase.  This will all be color coordinated with  my 
new 2007 hiking ensemble.  This is so I will look very sharp out on the  trail, 
while I limp along.
 
PSS: I sent MSR an email saying  they needed to make the solo Hubba tent 
under 2 pounds with cuben fabric and  titanium.  I said they could take over the 
tent market.  They replied  they liked my idea and would look into it.  I 
cannot imagine they would  actually do this.  The costs would be too high.  I was 
just harassing  them for fun.  You know like I do you.
