[pct-l] tents

[Rebecca Williams <rebecca_pct@usa.net>]

I hope everyone is having a fantastic Holiday season.

I've decided to get a tent for my 99 thruhike. I may well
use a tarp for some of the trip but I know that I want to
have a tent for certain sections. Now ... I have no clue where
to begin with my tent search. If you were going to take a tent,
and you could choose any tent you liked, what would it be?

I am planning on going solo, but with the hope of meeting up w/
someone to be my partner. ... I've considered the REI sololight b'c
I've heard good things from people about it.

Please email me & tell me all the good / bad you know about all the
tents you know about.

I've wondered about taking the smallest 2 man, 4 season tent I can find
because I've been doing some winter hiking & would love to buy one tent
to fit both needs. And a very small 2 man tent would allow a friend to
hike/camp with me if they join me. ... or I could still share it with a
partner if find a partner to hike with. (I know that that's not lightweight
though.

Thanks,

Rebecca
