Hello,
I am regularily hiking in the alps with campsites (wild camping) from 1700m (~5500ft) to 2500m (~8000ft) in elevation.
I use a quite good 3P tent from a sports discounter (Decathlon) that I am very happy with for 2 person use.
However when I am alone I need a lighter tent. And as I am going to the US in october I thought of getting one there, supposedly outdoor equipment is cheaper there?
Any tips on a tent with the following requirements:
1) should sleep one person (around 6 feet) comfortably
2) should have enough space for the backpack and shoes in the vestibule (is it called like that in english?)
3) light. <4 pounds if possible The lighter the better
4) Should withstand rain and wind. Added bonus if it also possible to camp in snow
5) cheap. As cheap as possible. I currently have a tent of amazon for around $50 that is a tiny bit too small though.
thank you for any tips
Daniel
