Check out Ron Moaks Six Moon Designs tents, his one man tent is only
24 oz. and the way it's designed the wind will never knock it over.

After one particular incident when the wind blew the tent down near the cookstove, she quit cooking and tenting and decided that she needed a freestanding tent. We bought an MSR Hubba Hubba and she is carrying it now on a 2-week hike on the AT. I am a little concerned about the extra weight (over 4 pounds). How does one handle soft sand? Is it feasible to use rocks and cords instead of stakes, with a tarp or anything other than a freestanding tent?
