[pct-l] Tent Idea on Ebay

[Mariann]

I'll be hiking with my daughter, so the shelter will need to be big enough for two people, though we aren't super big people.

There are some reviews on the net somewhere. That is pretty light for
a two person shelter, but do you need a such a big shelter?

Ditto on the Silshelter or if you want to go even lighter and have the
$, there is the one person GG Spinnshelter:

You could always get one of the various bug nets variations to use
when bugs are a problem.
