Thanks.

I was replying to the original poster's interest in a tent. The Eureka is a full 2 layer, totally enclosed tent, very classic, at a reasonably light weight.

The Beckel is a tarp; no floor. For a tarp I'd choose the Integral Designs Sil Shelter at under a pound or, better yet, the zpacks hex tarp at just a few ounces. The zpacks is also available in a fully enclosed version, essentially a single-wall tent, at about 9 ounces. But these are not for people who are still thinking classic "tents."
