[pct-l] One person tent

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

Dear Kevin

I have three one person tent:

1. Hilleberg Ako 1.4Kg
---very strong, versatile, all purpose tent,
---set up is very easy, because inner and outer tent are combined.
----I have used this tent for 4 years.


2. Big Agnes Fly Creek UL1, 1.0 Kg
----light, versatile, all purpose.
----set up is not easy, because inner and outer are not combined, and
many stakes are needed.
----not strong for rain, 1200mm waterproof ( this numeric is enough in
CA, but not enough in Japan)

3. Vaude Power Lizard UL 1Kg
----strong, light, versatile, all purpose
----set up is easy, because inner and outer are combined.
----strong for rain, 3000mm waterproof (enough for strong rain)

I added and change the guy lines, so now I can set up by 4 stakes.

At present, Power Lizard is my favorite.
