    Default Freestanding tent recommendation?

    So I am currently using a Bug Agnes Fly Creek UL H 2 and it’s a good tent except that to really use the thing at all you have to pound in like 9 or 10 stakes. There are places in this world (I just visited one) where that’s darned near impossible. I wouldn’t mind picking up a decently light 1 or 2 person tent that is freestanding except for perhaps having to stake the vestibule. I can tie a couple of rocks to a vestibule but I don’t want to be tying 10 rocks! Your classic X shaped pole structure suits me just fine, with a rain fly that clips to the corners. I know there’s really no such thing as a freestanding tent in a storm, but on a quiet night with me inside I want a tent that will stand up on its own.

    Light weight is always a plus, of course, and I would really prefer side entry. What’s out there that doesn’t weigh five pounds?

    If you've liked the Fly Creek but want freestanding, I'd think you'd love the Copper Spur.
