I plan on testing out some overnight hikes in my area (Missouri) well in advance of tackling my goal of the Appalachian trail next spring.
I'm stuck between:
Tarptent Ultralight Shelter Rainbow: http://www.tarptent.com/rainbow.html
Big Agnes Seedhouse SL2: http://www.amazon.com/Big-Agnes-Seed.../dp/B001AZ5YDC
MSR Hubba Hubba: http://www.amazon.com/MSR-Hubba-NX-T.../dp/B00G7H9CAY
Big Agnes Copper Spur UL1 Tent: http://www.amazon.com/Big-Agnes-Copp.../dp/B00GSYHK14
I guess, I know a few of these are for two people. I'm one person; is the extra weight worth the extra space? I'm attracted to the Rainbow shelters (under $250) because they're so, so cheap and have banging reviews.
