Another way to look at this.
Yes it might be a bit heavy for a 1 person 1 dog tent?
But:
What should a lite one weight ( NZ source ) how much
weight would you actually save and is saving that
much weight really worth it?
Considering.
Loss of room ? A one person tent is normally only large
enough for one Avg. person, little gear, no dog.
With nasty weather you might end up spending a few extra
hours in your tent larger is better.
Potential loss of durability ?
Are the 2 pound tents you are now looking at including the weight
of all the little bits n pieces, I bet not.
What are you trading for that 2 pound weight?
