[pct-l] light weight tents

[zsjeff@attbi.com (Jeff)]

I'm fairly certain the Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight is not
freestanding.  I have the 3-person version, and I know that is not
freestanding.

Question: Why is freestanding a requirement? I use a Stephenson and have
never had trouble. The Stephenson 2RS is the best tent for two -- 3#
2oz. Will hold 2 + gear. Seriously storm worthy + good ventilation. You
migh also check out some new Wanderlust designes, again not
freestanding. You might ask Carol [Brawney] to sew a floor in her tarp
[still not freestanding]. Lightest freestanding that I know of is the
Sierra Designs Clip Flashlight [3# 6 oz] . Very tight for 2.

Been reading a lot on digest about light weight tents, equipment. Im
interested in finding a lighter tent. I do not want to use a tarp or a
tent that is not freestanding. Looking to find a tent for 2, gear is OK
to stay outside, also may be interested in similar tent for 1. Will
probably use it in WA state, or New England, summer time trips. Can
anyone tell me what is the lightest tent they've used that meets these
qualifications. What are you all's recommendations?
