[pct-l] Ultralight tent for 2 recommendation

[Gail Van Velzer]

I have the 3 person version of the copper spur.  I like the extra room for 
stashing gear in the rain.  Since we have horses, the extra weight 
(insignificant) is not an issue.  My only gripe is it's difficult to get in 
and out.  I liked my old Sierra Designs better, but when it leaked, they 
replaced it with a newer model and I didn't like that as well, so I sold it. 
I can say the Copper Spur has held up in violent winds although I had to tie 
it to a hay bale!  I would recommend it for soundness and roominess.
