[pct-l] tents

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

Dear Daniel

I am not a PCTer, a foreigner, just only hiking JMT with my wife. So,
I must select a huge, strong, and light tent. My conclusion for this
summer is: Robens Stratos   1.2Kg,  4 persons tent.

There is no double wall tent, which is huge, and strong, and light.
So, I selected single wall tent. I rejected
American tent, because my wife often complains coldness, since the
three season tent uses too much mesh.

I bought Luna Solo ( Six Moon Design ), but I felt difficulty to set
up on the hard stone mixed ground, so I stopped to use it. There are
many two person tents ( about 1 Kg ). You can find your favorite tent
at such a site.
