I'm in the market for a 1-P tent for Early Season Archery here in Utah. I've got a few options in mind BUT I wanted to see what the rest of you have used and liked in the past. I've read through a lot of threads on here about 1-P tents but wanted to get some more specifics and a fresh view for what's on the market. Like most guys I'm trying to cut weight, so I've been leaning toward trekking pole designs. My biggest concern with trekking pole designs is what to do when I want to use my trekking poles on the mountain? Hoping to hear what some of you who have trekking pole supported shelters do in this instance. Tie to a tree? Cut out a limb for support? Extra poles? Looking for any and all options.
Beyond the trekking pole question I'm also looking for any suggestions on lightweight 1-P tent options. I'm good with floored, floorless, trekking pole support, or freestanding options. Probably not going to do the bivy thing. I'm 6'2", like vestibule space, and don't want the tent to be touching my face when I'm sleeping. Preferably I'd like to have all my gear under the tent or vestibule space but it's not a deal breaker. Ability to pitch in rough terrain or tight spaces like a deer bed is a definite plus.
Hoping there's some guys out there who are in the same boat or have experience and can help me out. If you suggest an option please specify why you like it. Thanks guys!
