Any help on Hyke and Byke tents? Budget tents?

[CJ19]

I need to pick up a second tent on a somewhat tight budget for a hunt this fall. I know some folks like Hyke and Byke sleeping bags, but have not seen any comment on their tents. Does anyone have experience with them and care to share?

I need a tent my partner can pack in 4-5 miles back. I have a copper spur UL2 but that is more dough than he has to spend at the moment. Something 5 lbs or under should do the trick. Not sure if its possible to come in under 100$. Right now he claims he is going to take a 12 pound walmart tent into the mountains.

I’m not familiar with Hyke and Byke stuff but I purchased an Alps Mtneering tent for my son to use on multi day Kayak fishing trips. It’s the Lynx 2 tent. Came in about 5# and close to $100 if I remover right. It’s 50”x88” so it could be used as a true 2man tent if needed. Another buddy has the Lynx 1 man tent and it’s obviously a little lighter. Seems well built and easy to use/assemble. The floor is heavy enough you can avoid a footprint. At the time, Austin Kayak has the best price and offered a percentage off the top of that.

For $72 it’s gonna be hard to beat this value.

I have a 2p Hyke and Byke tent. Used it for summer car camping. Quality is great. Let me know if you want it. Ill let it go for $75. Don't use it much as I am upgrading to an Oware Duplas tent to use for scouting and hiking and it fits the bill for car camping too.

Have their bag but havent seen the tents. The bags seem to be a great deal.
