Super fast and easy set up! Great for hiking, camping, or adding to your survival bag, this compact tent will fit into your backpack without filling it up.Great one-person and gear tent or two-person tent without gear.Trekking poles are NOT included (they are included in the Trekker Tent 2 Combo pack also on Amazon @ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BNQXKDN ), this tent is intended for use with your own trekking poles, but can be used with almost any stick that is over 42 inches tall.At 7 feet long and 5 feet wide, and 42 inches tall, this tent offers more room inside than almost any other ultralight tent.The Trekker Tent 2 weighs just 2lbs 12oz. Tent comes with stakes and carry bag.
I'm 6'5 and went with this, for under $55:

Comparable in weight to the TarpTent Rainbow.
Note that it does not have poles, and requires either trekking poles, sticks, or convenient trees + cordage in order to pitch it. But that's true about tarp/bivy setups too. (You could always just pick up some collapsible tent poles from REI or somewhere, too, if you're not a trekking pole guy).
Their 2.0 version is basically the same price, and provides better ventilation, at the expense of a few ounces of weight:

Check out reviews for both, overwhelmingly positive. Great for the price.
Edit: One thing I'd like to add that I like about it are the vertical sides where your head is. I don't care for dome tents because they usually slope over your face, which can feel claustrophobic. Especially when it rains, because that pitter patter of rain happens inches from your face. Much prefer 'pup tent'/A-frame setups to dome style tents.

Have you looked at this? I’ve seen some pretty good reviews of it.
Current plan is something like this to start. Ive got 4 kids and my own expensive hobbies to budget for. If she really likes it we will upgrade.

Anyone have any experiences with the Trekker Tent2 on amazon? At 62" wide and 44oz, it's as large as some advertised 3p tents and pretty darn cheap. Design seems fine, and at $44 it is by miles the cheaper enclosed single wall option. Could be an interesting 2p shoestring option.
Thanks! I’ll check out that trail. I’m hoping to do a few hikes through the spring/summer to prep for the hike and go from there to see if I’ll be confident in doing the hike.
I plan on doing at least 2 over night hikes to test my gear... which I have yet to buy but will purchase the things I need in the new year (you never know I may change my mind and that’s a lot of gear to buy)... I found the following online...
sleeping bag, pillow, tent, cook set, backpack , and cooking stove
Of course I’ll have my clothing, food and toiletries. I’m hoping to be as lightweight as possible. Any gear suggestions would be great, I’m also ok with crossing the boarder to get a good deal... I’m a Winnipeger after all, I’m cheap! Lol

I have one of these even though I've only used it once. Quality feels amazing compared to some shit like a coleman...Homemade Wanderlust on YouTube reviewed one and liked it.
I ordered directly from the manufacturer tho. I just pulled up the quickest link.
This tent is great, haven't tested it in the winter yet but I have no doubts with a proper mat and bag you'd be fine.
If wind/cold is a concern I would reccomend the first gen version which is what I have.
2nd gen has large ventilation cutouts.
