YK and Luke... This may sound stupid, but what kind of tent is that or who makes it? How much does it weigh?
It's a Brooks Range "Foray". Mine comes in right at 3 lbs ready to roll. Luke talked me into it when I was looking for a new three season tent, and tipped me off to a 25% off sale to boot. No regrets so far. He did a review on his.

There are certainly lighter tents out there, but most of them sacrifice weather resistance in a big way. This one was obviously designed by somebody who has weathered some storms. Besides all the guy out points, it also has a dry entry, which is a must have IMO.
Mostly I expect to use it solo, but it's got enough room to use with two when needed and so far I've used it about 50/50. Typical of "two person" tents though, it's not something two people can actually live in for long periods of time, but as a place to crash at night it's worked out fine.
