Since this is posted in the backpacking gear & clothing section, I am assuming you will be packing it in on your back vs livestock. Therma Rest makes a good light wt cot, but it still weighs nearly as much as a light wt tent, so you have to decide if the wt is worth it. I weigh about 210-215 lbs and the largest one works well for me. You will still need a good pad, so factor that in to your pack wt also. I'm not sure I will use mine again if I am the one packing it in, if I have livestock, then I would definitely use it.
