[QUOTE="dfanonymous, post: 2606276, member: 97050"] I know you said off your back, but that seems to vary from person to person depending who you ask… Depending how far you want to go, the terrain, and how in shape, or not…you are in, would probably determine how light do you want to go, Most normal people affordable backpacking tents in the $150-500 range will be about 3.5 to 5 lbs trail weight[B] on average[/B]. If you need a snow load then you’ll be looking at the heavier side, and more expensive…you’ll have more options in a 4 season setup. Price point matters too, because carbon fiber rod light/“ultralight” tents get pricey right quick. Lastly I recommend at least a double wall tent, especially if you are doing a expeditionary style pack hunt. Single wall tents for me have always frosted at night. Sleeping bags, it’s hard to beat a insulated pad and a down sleeping bag or quilt. Make sure you know the rating. There’s two standards, comfort and survival. Make sure you read comfort. If you expect to be wet, or have a down allergy then I would consider a more expensive lighting synthetic bag and water proof compression sack. [/QUOTE]
