[pct-l] Ultralight tents

[Yoshihiro Murakami]

I had used Big Agnes Fly Creek UL 1 several times. I do not like this tent,
so I gave it for a FB friend.

The reasons are : The fly and the inner are separated, therefore it needs
more time than the integrated one . The most parts of the inner consisted
of mesh, therefore it is cooler. Condensation may be observed. No structure
for air flow.

I had used Hilleberg Akto for 5 years. It is a very strong four season
tent. The fly and inner are integrated, therefore I can pitch this for
several minutes. But, this tent may be heavy for PCT hiker.

I had used Vaude Power Lizard UL for 3 years. It is a light and relatively
strong tent. The weak point is condensation. This tent need more refined
structure for air flow. But, this may be a good tent. Recent light version
is http://www.cheaptents.com/acatalog/vaude-power-lizard-sul-1p.html

I bought Hilleberg Akto once more. Now, it is my standard tent for solo
hiking.

I will hike USA with this tent this summer vacation. I am not a PCT hiker,
just a visitor.
