[pct-l] Ultralight tents

But the worst part is guying it out.  Rocks, snow, sand make that difficult.
My 3.5 lb Eureka goes up in about 2 minutes.

Hi Abby!

I'm planning on using a Lightheart solo for a possible thru-hike next year,
and all summer in Yosemite (I'm working there for 3 months). I love how it
uses trekking poles to set up the tent, thus saving weight on carrying
other poles.

Good luck with the search!

Lindsey
