Hey guys, first post here. New mountain hunter, just trying to get my gear in order.
I know in the mountains, weight is everything. I’m looking for a tent that would be a true 4 seasons tent for my wife and I, or a hunting partner.
I work at Cabela’s part time, so I get a pretty hefty discount on their gear. The Cabelas Instinct Scout 2 Man tent has my attention because it will only cost me about $150.

The only “problem” I see is that it weighs in at 5 pounds 10 ounces for carry weight. Kinda heavy in regards to other backpacking tents.
Should I look elsewhere for something different? Thinking it’s a hard option to beat for my price.
Thanks,
Matt
