| I am on a really tight budget this summer and need a small one or two man tent that is very light and able to be carried in a large ALICE type hiking setup. No frills or anything but i need the usual shit like waterproof,floor etc etc. Is there anything along those lines available in the 30-100 buck range? |

plenty of tents alvialble in that price range. low end north faces exponets eurekas ect campmor.com check it out. or go ultra cheap and pick up one off sportsman guide. youll have to seam seal, treat it,, but thats a given for any new tent! my 2 person pack set up is a coleman exponet INYO2.. its right over 4lbs and easily fits inside a med alice./ also under 100$ and better made than other brands i looked at in that price range. other than that i use my own self made shelters now days sinc ei do mostly ultra light backpacking.  you may also get more of well rounded response from teh guys in the arfcom survival forum. |

I hear yeah bout room for gear, I use this bivy tent in a Bob set up, light weight & doesnt take up much space. I did put the tent up a time or two, just to get the feel of it, in case I ever had to put up tent in a night situation. This bivy has room for one man, possible backpack as well, you cant set up,due to this tent being low profile. TG |

Gapper, Several years ago I found a milspec'ish hammock. It has hardware & instructions on how to use a poncho for the roof. I have not had an occasion to actually camp with, but I have set it up a few times in the back yard. Seems comfortable, & no bugs or other vermin crawling in. In cold or wet weather, you can snap the egdes of the poncho under you & your in a free floating cocoon. Pack size is about like two 30 round mag pouches. I keep it in my BOB... Good Luck!
