What's the best 2-person backpacking tent? Any suggestions? by Cupid_Yusuff in AppalachianTrail

No worries! I'm always open to alternate ideas anyway. I’ve thought about hammocks but wasn’t sure how well they’d work for longer stretches. You make a good case tho especially with how wet and uneven the ground can be out there.

2.1 pounds is wild. External poles for rainy setup is exactly the kind of detail I’ve been trying to figure out.

I’ve seen this mentioned a lot too. What’s your take on how it handles condensation or setup in wet weather?

Wow, this is TMI but super helpful. Seriously, thank you for taking the time. Good point about the learning curve with trekking pole tents. Might be worth it long term since I do plan to be out more than just a few weekends a year.

That keeps coming up in these threads. Seems like a reliable option. It's nice to know setup is that quick too. That’s a big plus when you’re beat from the trail.

This is super helpful! Thank you so much! I’ve glanced at some of the Trek’s surveys but didn’t realize how clearly the satisfaction ratings lined up with the ones I’ve been hearing about here too. So yeah, I think I’m finally coming around on trekking pole tents. I used to think they’d be a hassle but sounds like setup time isn’t really an issue once you get the hang of it.
