    Default WTB LGH Solong (or similar - e.g. SMD or Tarptent)

    I'm after a 1+ person size UL shelter. I really like the LHG Solong. I also quite like Tarptent and SMD's designs. I'd consider anything similar.


    $200 is the absolute top of my budget, but I'll probably not spend that much (student).


    Cheers

    That price will just not buy any of the shelters you are looking for unfortunately. Solo tents are not cheap. I have a SoLong that I'd let go of, but after seam sealing and awning pole the cheapest i could part with it for would be $275. And even that is stretching it.

    I have seen several LHG solongs, stratospires, Motrails etc go for around $200. Just yesterday a ss2 went for $250 on this forum.

    I realize I'm asking on the cheap side, but that's really the most I can afford on my income. What colour and condition is your solong?

    I'd also be very interested in Yama Mountain Gear's cirriform, or a trekkertent.

    Realistically, the TarpTent Rainbow and Protrail should sell used at or below your $200 limit.

    I have a smd skyscape trekker that i have used for about 20 nights and would be willing to sell it for $125 shipped priority mail. You can see it in this video at min 3.14.

    Hey thanks. I did seriously look at the trekker actually, but my current needs require something a bit bigger (enough to accommodate 2 on occasions)
