[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 1611746, member: 27192"] my backpack hunting shelter depends on whether I am solo or not. If I am in a group, my wife and I modified a ZPacks Cuben Fiber "Triplex" to add about 12 inches of height and extra width, such that I can comfortably sleep 4 adults (and can stand up hunched over in the thing). Only weighs 35.8 ounces including the tent stakes/tie outs/ground cloth. I don't count the weight of the tent poles because they are also my trekking poles and bipod. If I am solo, I have a bivy setup with a cuben tarp we built; all in it is about 12 ounces including the tarp, fully enclosed bug screen, ground cloth, stakes, etc. With my solo setup, including a double quilt setup (an enlightened equipment down quilt, our own homemade synthetic quilt (climashield APEX)), thermarest xlite, solo tarp setup, all in (and good for down to minus 10-20 degrees F) I'm at 62.35 ounces the last I checked.
